Do you remember. Back in the 50's the "daring" motion pictures were few and far between.

In '55, a picture called "Male and Female" was released. One had to be 12 years old to get in.

It was segregated!!?? Anyway, we all ranked up with a "deena" clutched in the fist. Even at that age, it was a bit of a let down.

The picture was all about what happened if you had a "winkypop", and didn't use a condom!!??

The "older" young fellers said that it was like having a shower with a raincoat on. How many GN remember that little "gem"

Then in '57, they released a picture named, "And God Created Woman", starring Bridget Bardot!

Well, the queue from the Lyric cineama extended about a mile down the street. If ya paid one and threepence, you could sit upstairs.

It was, naturally, a black and white picture.  All the blokes, young and older, were all sittin' there, throbbin' like sockfulla

grasshoppers. Bardot entered the scene from the left side of the screen. She had a towel wrapped around that beautiful frame. 

Then, she turned left, walked away from the camera, dropped the towel, and all we all saw was her bare arse!!?? But what a

beautiful arse!

Mind you, every bloke in the cinema just groaned. Moments later, Bardot walked towards the camera, and "us" holding a sheet

at shoulder height. We stared just about where we reckoned the "norks"were. Then, (and this is dinkum) a lot of us stood up,

hopeing to see over the sheet she was holding. Yes, how life has chamged.

Do you remember?

Yup, yup and yup again!

Going further back than talking movies

The fair came to town, and the penny arcade had one of them still picture things
You put a penny in, and then turned the handle to see what the butler saw

Someone had put a sign on it saying, dirty pictures.

All the boys tall enough to look at it were lined up, and it was a long queue
It appears that somehow during a bit of repair, mud had got onto some of the pictures.
The boy in front never told me what type of dirty pictures they were, so I never told the boy behind me


In the late 1960's I lived in a town of not many people.
Half of us were married folk, and the other half were single blokes.

There was no TV, and videos were yet to come onto the scene.

I had an 8 mm movie camera, and one roll of film I took turned out blue.
One of the single blokes also had an 8mm camera and projector. He had got hold of a saucy type film.

The single blokes were going to make a night of movie watching one Saturday night, at the single men's quarters.

Word had got around that I had a blue movie, and they wanted to borrow it.
I gave it to them, saying that I had already watched it.

It appears that the true believers watched it to the very end.
