Red, White and Blue is a 1971 American documentary film written, produced, and directed by Beverly Sebastian and Ferd Sebastian.[1][2] It was about the hearings of President Nixon's Commission on Pornography and Obscenity.[3][4] During filming it was known as Forbidden Fruit: A Study of Pornography in America.[5]
The Minneapolis Star said it was "honest reporting" while also using the documentary format to exploit sexually explicit films.[6]
According to the IMDb, the film features scenes from the Swedish/Danish films I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) and Quiet Days in Clichy (1970). The films Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Marital Fulfillment (1970), an earlier, lost Sebastian documentary about sex and marriage, are discussed.
