Amore: Directed by Roberto Rossellini. With Anna Magnani, Federico Fellini, Peparuolo, Amelia Robert. In the first episode, a heartbroken woman talks to her ex-lover on the phone. In the second, a pregnant woman believes she is carrying the child of Saint Joseph.

“When it was scheduled to be shown in New York, Lu0026#39; Amore was protested by religious leaders led by Cardinal Francis Spellman. The film board of New York quickly yanked it before even hitting the screen. After viewing this case, the Supreme Court ruled that for the first time that films are u0026quot;a significant medium for the communication of ideas.u0026quot; It wasnu0026#39;t until this point that the First Amendment covered film as a freedom of speech. This didnu0026#39;t stop censorship, but it did open new doors.”
