Commentary: The Art of Silence

From Dick Meister | 03:01

YES - will use

Default-piece-image-2 Silent films are not merely the outdated, herky-jerky precursors of talking pictures. As this commentary notes, they were -- and are -- a distinct popular art form. They are movies tjhat were truly designed to move, to show by movement rather than tell by words and sounds. They are at least as artristic as the talkies that supplanted them, far more experimental and daring, and certainly as imaginative and innovative.

The Miracle Case and Film Censorship

From WRPI | 25:43

YES - I will not use

Premierewaysoflove_small In 1950 the Roberto Rossellini film "The Miracle," part of a trilogy called "Ways of Love," was condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency and censored by the New York State Motion Picture Division (the state censor board), "The Miracle's" distributor, Joseph Burstyn, fought back through the New York courts and finally at the United States Supreme Court, claiming that his First Amendment rights had been violated by the state. Burstyn won and in 1952, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that movies were entitled to the free speech protections of the First Amendment. The story did not end there, though, since the Court allowed state censorship statutes to stand provided they were "narrowly drawn." The fight over the right of states to pre-approve movies continued until 1965 when all states but Maryland stopped censoring movies. For more information on this story, see Laura Wittern-Keller's *Freedom of the Screen: Legal Challenges to State Film Censorship* (University Press of Kentucky) and the forthcoming 8Burstyn v. Wilson: The Miracle Case8 by Ray Haberski, Jr. and Laura Wittern-Keller (Landmarks Law Cases series of the University Press of Kansas).
