First surviving non-pornographic film to depict a woman having an orgasm.
The erotic closeups of Hedy Lamarr's face in the throes of passion were aided, she says, by director Gustav Machatý unexpectedly jabbing her in the derriere with a pin in order to get the desired expressions on her face.
First surviving non-pornographic film featuring a sex scene, albeit not real.
This film was initially banned from importation into the United States by the U.S. Customs Service in January 1935, it being deemed "obscene and immoral". An appeal was thrown out due to no evidence as customs officials had burned the print. It finally received limited release in 1940, with some states still banning the film for violating their state decency laws.
Supposedly one of the first non-pornographic movies to have full-frontal nudity of a woman.
