Almost 250 people saw a little more than half the film before police moved in and took videotape from manager Marvin Miller. Purpose of the free show was for the audience to complete a questionnarie  which asked if movie should be shown in a public theatre.

Image published in the Toronto Star, 4 March 1970, page 44, to illustrate article by Dorothy Miros, "Hundreds clamor to see nude film free police seize videotape copies."
