Caption: Day of Premiere Advertisement for De Renzy's Pornography in Denmark: A New Approach
Additional Description: De Renzy's advertisement for the movie's premiere at the North Beach Theater eschewed the lurid graphics common to the advertisements for adult-oriented films of the period, and instead took a disarmingly straightforward approach to invite potential viewers to the film. This combination of information, warning, and invitation apparently worked, as the film was commercially successful right from its debut.
