Background
Director Kan Mukai often capitalized on controversy to boost the publicity surrounding the release of his films. In the case of Blue Film: Estimation, the advertising campaign emphasizing the appearance of mainstream actress Mitsugu Fujii in this pink film created enough public notice to make the film a success.[3] Fujii would again work with Mukai in his Blue Film Woman (1969).[5]
