The Tide Turns against
the Censors, 1953â1957
As La ronde worked its way toward the Supreme Court, the legality of film censorship was beginning to look grim in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. New Yorkâs judges, who for three decades had staunchly supported their censors, were starting to question the statute and its application. In the early 1950s, as the judicial attitude toward free speech was shifting at the federal level, New Yorkâs appellate division justices became more skeptical about the prior restraint exercised by their motion picture division. In 1953 the board of regents and their counsel, Charles Brind, began a losing streak that never turned around. As the censors tried to hold on to their role as protectors of the stateâs movie theater screens, the courts of their state and the nation were moving toward a more expansive interpretation of First Amendment rights of speech and press.
