 "Fuck" was shown only at Warhols Factory until 1969, when all four  reels that were shot were shown at a benefit for "Film Culture"  magazine at the Elgin Cinema on 12 June 1969. Then on 21 July 1969,  Warhol put it into the New Andy Warhol Garrick Theatre where  "Lonesome Cowboys" had been playing but was dying "pretty quickly".  It was a shortened version (only the last three reels lasting  approximately 100 minutes) and renamed "Blue Movie" to avoid the  censors.
