At the time when pornography became semi-legal in the US, the Europeans produced a different kind of adult cinema, shot in public; on the Beach, at a Nudist Colony, on the Train, at a Swimming Pool, in a Café or a Night Club, featuring common people, in real situations, in hardcore style. The films were made for home use and clubs, in longer format than previously, varying form 15 to 30 minutes, shot with script and with or without original recorded sound, whereby the sex was free and wheeling.
