Not sure where to put this, so here seems as good a place as any

On the 19th February 1978, a cinema chain in Lincolnshire gave a statement saying they were not going to be showing the film 'The Black Panther' in any of their 15 cinemas in the county. The film, a crime drama based on serial killer Dennis Neilson, was made in 1977 and passed uncut with a '15' certificate by the BBFC. 'We are not that kind of Cinema', the agent responsible for booking the film said. 'We are better without it'


So what wholesome, tasteful piece of cinema did they put on instead? Something by Disney perhaps. Or maybe 'Star Wars'?

No, they went with a double feature consisting of Lina Romay in 'Caged Women' and Laura Gemser and Annie Belle (HOTEOTP) in 'Black Emmanuelle, White Emmanuelle'!
