Silent Film
The Swedish censorship of 1911 prevented "The Perils of Pauline from becoming familiar to audieneces in Sweden. Marina Dahlquist, in her article "The Best Known Woman in the World" writes that the cliffhanger "constituted precisely the type of films that the Swedish national censorship body was ser up to weed out from the market, aside from sexually tinged Danish melodrama." Dahlquist adds that there had also been a lack of publicity for the film, a lack of dvertising, or "newspaper-magazine tie ins".
