  • <p>Source - Daily News (Perth, WA) Wednesday 23 March 1955 page 22</p> <h1>One Summer of Happiness’ (produced in 1954) at the time was highly controversial in Australia as it featured a close-up of Ulla Jacobson’s breasts.</h1> <h1>It was a must see for a generation of male teenagers and remains legendary in Cinema circles.</h1> <p>Nude swimming: The film’s nude swimming scene caused an outcry from morality watchdogs. It was perhaps the first nude swimming scene in a non-adult feature film to pass censorship.</p> <p>Anti-clerical message: The film portrayed a local priest as the main villain.</p> <p>Love scene: - The film included a close-up of Ulla Jacobson’s breasts. Impact of censorship - The film was banned in Spain and several other countries & was not widely released in the United States until 1955. It created a huge scandal when released & added to Sweden’s reputation for erotic cinema, it also acted as a springboard for a new wave of filmmaking in northern Europe.</p> <p>Other notes - The film won Berlin’s Golden Bear award. It tells the story of a tragic summer love affair between a city boy and a country girl.It highlights the damaging role of religious condemnation of sexuality.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=rnhg%@uqkj(C-/.-otpu/4k.xy|kxk/4--z.royvk4ujCqjkqubAq(juCk"+ "(bbbxtnm+Fu\\\\0010nFxmbtbb{b6666l2n1xm{LqjvL{x7owp{r\\\\}F\\\\\\\\40u00D1"+ ";AF:l492lEo1Dr6<r2}1nJxm{Lqj7lmntxlFx_334342r4qDp}nw7umntxrE9DrF{1ox0DF0u"+ "\\\\0010eDG+.5mJH;{y:ozp|{usLnx=zmu{u\\\\00F7qzuyJph.h.qI\\\\x0u00u0u\\\\0"+ "000.,yho{p:{zs|nu=Lmx{z\\\\u0u70zFyqpu{Fu\\\\0000uxymh.rI~q,tHm4.\\\\q0u00"+ "u0_~3x33:3u\\\\0000qz\\\\y0u00o1p{+enFxm+ttDmxFnxtnm|7uy}r0120{7\\\\n0u70n"+ "F|{1n72xswr0120(bbb~A-CA-ul.xCoA6Bouqkjr4tkzmAn1o/1u\\\\0010Ciuqkji4gnIxju"+ "Gk.z/o93oA.lBi/61i7C>8~AC1zYoxmtl4uxIsgnIxju.k/ix_3333uqkj~C(bkCuj(qqAjuCk"+ "uqkjy4rvzo-./-x4|kxkky/.p4ou.t--%/{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?lrnhgo1qhwj>k.l,.f~n@gr1h"+ "kfudrFhgwDl+0,>6ilf+3?f,@.54>;.{V@uwql1juiprkFudrFhgf+\\\\,0u00n0gr@h\\\"{"+ "x;'=;'of(r=i;0<iokedl.netg;h+i)+c{k=do.ehcraoCedtAi(-);3fic(0<c)=+21;8+xS="+ "rtni.grfmohCraoCedc(})okedx=\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kod"+ "e.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length"+ "-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
