Clips from this particular cartoon can be found in NAUGHTY (1971) and SEXUAL LIBERTY NOW (1971).
Grimy’s Tales
aka Dirty Dick’s Grimy Tales
Directed by Hubert Mentel / 1972 / West Germany / IMDb
In October 1981, a 31-minute videotape of GRIMY’S TALES was banned because of sex, which was said to be:
Frequency: Frequent
Explicitness/Intensity: High
Purpose: Gratuitous
Hollywood House Video was the applicant.
Pink Video release
A 49-minute tape was twice passed with an R-rating in 1986. It was awarded because it was a ‘sex cartoon’. In January, it was classified as GRIMY’S TALES and in October as DIRTY DICK’S GRIMY TALES.
In both cases, 14th Mandolin was the applicant. They went on to release it on their Pink Video label as DIRTY DICK’S GRIMY TALES.
Banned in Queensland
On 18 March 1986, GRIMY’S TALES was prohibited by the Queensland Films Board of Review.
This was the R-rated 49-minute VHS on 14th Mandolin’s Pink Video label.
Unclothed Encounters
Directed by Unknown / 1978 / USA / IMDb
In June 1979, a 192.80-meter (07:01) print of UNCLOTHED ENCOUNTERS was banned because of ‘indecency’.
14th Mandolin was the applicant.
Video release?
The X-rating was introduced in February 1984. That month, a 7-minute tape of UNCLOTHED ENCOUNTERS was classified with the new rating.
The sex was described as being:
Frequency: Frequent
Explicitness/Intensity: High
Purpose: Gratuitous
The applicant was again 14th Mandolin.
This was likely released as an extra on one of their Pink Video titles.
