''L'Amore'' (1948) is an Italian anthology film directed by Roberto Rossellini starring Anna Magnani and Federico Fellini. The film opened to considerable controversy in the United States, which led to a lengthy legal dispute, Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson, that ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States that ruled in 1952 that film as a form of expression was protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. ==Production background== The film has two parts: "Il Miracolo" ("The Miracle") and "Una Voce Umana" ("The Human Voice"). The latter is based on a French play ''The Human Voice'' (''La Voix humaine'', 1930) by Jean Cocteau. Rossellini and Fellini co-wrote "Il Miracolo", and Rossellini adapted Cocteau's play. Magnani appears in both segments. The film was first exhibited in Europe in 1948, starting in Italy. Magnani was awarded the Nastro d'Argento (Silver Ribbon) in 1949 for best actress for her performance in the film. In the United States, the film, renamed ''Ways of Love'' with English subtitles, was first exhibited in New York City in November 1950. In December, ''Ways of Love'' was voted the best foreign language film of 1950 by the New York Film Critics Circle. The film was condemned by the National Legion of Decency in 1951 and became a catalyst for a Supreme Court decision on censorship and First Amendment freedom of speech issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「L'Amore (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
