With controversial content, motion pictures challenged social norms and prevailing laws at the intersection of art and entertainment. Today, the First Amendment protects a wide range of free speech, but this wasn?t always the case. For the first fifty years, movies could be censored and banned by city and state officials charged with protecting the moral fabric of their communities. Once film was embraced under the First Amendment by the Supreme Court?s Miracle decision in 1952, new problems pushed notions of acceptable content even further. Dirty Words & Filthy Pictures explores movies that changed the law and resulted in greater creative freedom for all. Relying on primary sources that include court decisions, contemporary periodicals, state censorship ordinances, and studio production codes, Jeremy Geltzer offers a comprehensive and fascinating history of cinema and free speech, from the earliest films of Thomas Edison to the impact of pornography and the Internet. With incisive case studies of risqué pictures, subversive foreign films, and banned B-movies, he reveals how the legal battles over film content changed long-held interpretations of the Constitution, expanded personal freedoms, and opened a new era of free speech. An important contribution to film studies and media law, Geltzer?s work presents the history of film and the First Amendment with an unprecedented level of detail. 517 3 $aDirty words and filthy pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$xCensorship$zUnited States 606 $aMotion pictures$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aMotion picture industry$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States 615 0$aMotion pictures$xCensorship 615 0$aMotion pictures$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aFreedom of speech 676 $a791.43 700 $aGeltzer$b Jeremy$f1969-$01580126 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797796803321 996 $aDirty words & filthy pictures$93860804 997 $aUNINA
