This Columbia University film uses two U.S. Supreme Court free speech cases to document the history of censorship law. The first case deals with the constitutionality of New York’s film censorship system after screenings of a popular Italian film are halted by authorities. The second case centers on freedom of speech and religion after Connecticut authorities object to a Jehovah’s Witness going door to door using a record player to broadcast an evangelical talk. The film also covers the history of regulating cinema, and shows many scenes from early films. close
