  • <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=\"nrgh@%rnhg_%@nrgh_%__u@kq(j-C./o-pt/uk4x.|yxk/k-4z-r.yokvu4Cjjqqkbu"+ "qAj(Cu(kbbjbius{tk4zx}zobkbb(bbbgbn.kB&__xClbbbbb(bbbbbbbbbbgsrouzj@sotkoy"+ "turgF7ohvmtu4juibbbbbbbbs&bbbbb(bbozrzCkbbbbb(bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb(bbbbbbbbbbjD"+ "sotkoyturgF7ohvmtu4juiBsg5bbbbb(bbDA/b(bbA~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk4rktmzn37/Ao"+ "1C8/\\u0001~1Cqujk4ingxGz.o17/1qujk4ingxGz.o/__x3__33u3kq~j.CB1uokqrjt4zkE"+ "munkqijg4Gn.xuzkqrjt4zk3m/n-7/@b-CAj(qkAuu(kqqjjC4uvkoy.r-z4-k/kxy|.x4ku/t"+ "p-o/.>-_%__{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f"+ ".@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@_%{{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?ln+gr1hhojqkw"+ "40>,.l5@~,.{n@gr1hkfudwDl+4..,rnhgf1dkDu+w,ln\\u0000gr@h.{l+n?gr1hhojqkwnB"+ "gr1hkfudwDn+gr1hhojqkw40=,**>,%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nr"+ "gh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh"+ "1ohqjwk04,=**,>\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;i"+ "f(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
