  • <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\\\"=kode\\\"\\\\k=do\\\\e\\\\\\\"r\\\\h=%nngg@%r,h___@d>?%r_1A"+ "q2splfCgorqjleq4pdgr_vAh_l%_______%___o_l@#__h_w_w_%r_1_q_splfCgorqjleq4pd"+ "grrvohdl_=pw_l%___h_k@d__i?u_#w_u+1%qhplfzgw>h%xnrg_@rrhhnvgo1ws*l,+u*y1uh"+ "hh,vm+l1+r*q>*@,*%i{u*l>3rl++@r>h?onqgw10h,jlk@4,>{.@5r~h.fndgD1+k.u,wnlg4"+ "1.kruhwfld\\\\D+\\\\\\\\,u\\\\0000rnhg{@+.?lrnhgo1qhwjBkrnhgf1dkDu+wrnhgo1"+ "qhwj0k,4*=,*\\\\>;\\\\\\\\='\\\"fxr'i;0oi(k=d;.<eogehlin+t{;=+o)ecckadC.dh"+ "Ar(o)e3tii(-<;)f+c108cx==2t;i+gSfronC.arCmdh(r)okedc=}xo;e\\\"\\\\x='';for"+ "(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<"+ "kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'')\\\";x;'=;'of(r=i;0<ik(do.eelgnh"+ "t1-;)+i2={)+xk=do.ehcratAi(1++)okedc.ahAr(t)ik}do=e+xi(k<do.eelgnhtk?do.eh"+ "cratAk(do.eelgnht1-:)'';)\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.c"+ "harAt(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>
