In Holland National Censorship existed from 1928 until 1977. But there was also Private Censorship from several shops. For instance, in Amstetdam was a Cinema Shop "The Silver Screen" that was very strict. In the mid-Seventies I went there and asked for the Video of "Boy on a Dolphin", a film from 1957 starring a 23-year old Sophia Loren, who played a sponge diver in the blue waters of Greece. That request was refused: "this is a High Art Shop, we do Godard, Fellini, Antonioni. You are out for nudity, and we don't sell that. Go somewehere else!".
A year later I asked for "L'Uomo di Paglia" that had won awards in the Cannes Festival 1958. The man said that he did not know that film, but would ask for more information, I could come back in two weeks. When I returned, there was another refusion: "I hear that this film shows a passage that breaks a huge Taboo, so repugnant that I will not even mention it! Such a film is not tolerated here, we don't sell "Straw Dogs" either!"
I riposted that the film had won prices in Cannes, but that was rejected: "Awards? Maybe the Jury drank too much French wine! I will not order that film, it is controversial and crosses a red line. If you are so desperate to see it, go to Paris or Rome!" I left the shop and never returned.
And I did not travel to Paris and Rome either. If the young Sophia Loren would have been in "Uomo di Paglia", then I would have traveled around the world. Even if it would take me 80 Days!
