 In 1976, for the first time since the German occupation, a French  film was seized and its negative burnt. This film was denounced on  15 October 1976 by two major family associations (for its apology of  vice) and condemned to be burnt on the following day. According to  the "specialists" at the time, this film did not present more  obscenity and bad taste than the films of the same kind. But for the  plaintiffs, it was a question of making an example, and they made a  martyr of it.
