In that sense this film is like a documentary. In every other sense, it is different"--Title screen. In 1957, in San Francisco, poet Allen Ginsberg has just published "Howl." This distinctive work immediately generates a great deal of controversy. Publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti has been sued on charges of obscenity, as many feel the poem is simply too explicit for publication (it contains strong language and frank references to homosexuality). When prosecutor Ralph McIntosh and defender Jake Ehrlich go head to head in front of Judge Clayton Horn, freedom of expression hangs in the balance. For the author, filled with the heady joy of poetic success, the trial demands the courage of being Allen Ginsberg--himself. 541 0 |3PFA 3500-01-16677. |a D0467 |c donation |d 2015/02/26 |5CBPF 590 PFA 3500-01-16677.|aEdge code: Fuji.|aCONDITION NOTE: Inspected 2015/07/10 gc; light use only; leaders cut; outboard rain emulsion side close to track, linear throughout, stuck on dirty roller. 600 10 Ginsberg, Allen,|d1926-1997|xTrials, litigation, etc. |vDrama. 650 0 Poets, American|y20th century|vDrama. 650 0 Trials (Obscenity)|zUnited States|vDrama. 650 0 Legal drama, American. 651 0 San Francisco (Calif.)|vDrama. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|vDrama. 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 700 1 Epstein, Robert P.,|d1955-|4aus|4drt|4pro 700 1 Friedman, Jeffrey,|d1951-|4aus|4drt|4pro 700 1 Redleaf, Elizabeth.|4pro 700 1 Walker, Christine Kunewa.|4pro 700 1 Franco, James,|d1978-|4act 700 1 Strathairn, David.|4act 700 1 Hamm, Jon,|d1971-|4act 700 1 Balaban, Bob.|4act 700 1 Nivola, Alessandro.|4act 700 1 Williams, Treat.|4act 700 1 Parker, Mary-Louise.|4act 700 1 Daniels, Jeff,|d1955-|4act 700 1 Burwell, Carter.|4cmp 700 1 Ginsberg, Allen,|d1926-1997.|tHowl. 700 1 Drooker, Eric,|d1958-|tIlluminated poems. 710 2 Oscilloscope Laboratories (Firm) 710 2 Werc Werk Works (Firm) 710 2 Telling Pictures. 710 2 Rabbit Bandini Productions (Firm) 710 2 Radiant Cool (Firm) 710 2 Oscilloscope Pictures,|efilm distributor. 956 20170630 |bpfmcq|cCCE 957 OCLC xref loaded 20170709 994 C0|bCUY
