Who was Willem van Batenburg? Few will know his name, yet in the early 1980s he was famous for being the initiator and director of two professionally made Dutch porn films: Pruimenbloesem (1982) and Schot in de roos (1983), that were shot with a professional crew and, for that era, a reasonably substantial budget of one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand guilders.
