lovely story... made my day On Saturday, 20 June 2020, 17:08:57 BST, Rob Gawthrop wrote: In the late nineties I programmed regular screenings at the Hull Film Theatre (Yorkshire England) while teaching at the art school there. I showed a compilation of new American films (from the coop) including Sodom. This was a public event and the cinema was run by the city council and they were not asking to see uncertificated films since the debacle of banning Genet’s Chant d’Amour. Sodom came on last before the interval and the ice-cream seller was making her way in at the moment of the auto-fellatio (Busby Berkley style) was on the screen. I was a little worried that there would be complaints. The ice-cream woman spoke to me and said “Oo I’ve not seen anything like that before” It was all ok.

There is an 8min version floating around on the www, which was also released on DVD (and is sold by Nekes for merely 30.00€). However, the duration of the original (silent 8mm) film was 30 minutes.

It was of Carol White (as Scarlet) in her nun's costume, but sitting down between takes & demurely drinking a cup of tea. This image doesn't appear in the final film.
