A dated slang term for a pornographic film, common from the mid-20th century through the video era. The association of 'blue' with obscenity or risqué content is longstanding in English — 'blue' comedy, 'blue' material, a 'blue' joke all share the same sense. The term has been largely displaced by more explicit modern terminology but still appears in ironic, nostalgic, or period contexts.
