Controversial, at the time..., 3 April 2007
5/10
Author: Jean Lajoie from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

In the late seventies or early eighties, news broke that some employees of the television network that broadcast the Parliament House of Commons debates had been using the equipment to film some porno films in their free time. This movie was based on those news reports.

At the time of its release, it caused a controversy because the mainstream actors were under the impression that they were part of a soft-core erotic comedy, playing a film crew involved in the filming of adult or porn films. Alledgedly, they were unaware that the producers and/or director had filmed some more explicit scenes which were later inserted in the film. Some of the actors were embarrassed at being in what they considered a "dirty" movie.

Although the more sexual "inserts" did not feature the kind of explicit depictions of actual sex that we see today in adult films, they did show some erect penises, something which had not been done before in mainstream Quebecois (French-Canadian) film.
