Wiki.

Red, White and Blue is a 1971 American documentary film written, produced, and directed by Beverly Sebastian and Ferd Sebastian. It was about the hearings of President Nixon's Commission on Pornography and Obscenity. During filming it was known as Forbidden Fruit: A Study of Pornography in America.

The Minneapolis Star said it was "honest reporting" while also using the documentary format to exploit sexually explicit films.

According to the IMDb, the film features scenes from the Swedish/Danish films I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) and Quiet Days in Clichy (1970). The films Midnight Cowboy (1969) and Marital Fulfillment (1970), an earlier, lost Sebastian documentary about sex and marriage, are discussed.
