:47:00
And I didn't think
it could run in Florida,
:47:02
And so,
l was given the picture
for a very reasonable amount.
:47:06
l never would have
dreamt of opening
that picture anywheres
:47:11
if it wasn't for that article.
:47:13
(Terry)
lf we don't get sued,
it will be a miracle.
:47:16
Terry, please, Terry.
lt's almost over.
:47:18
l think it's enough.
Cut. Finished.
:47:20
lt's almost over.
lt's enough.
:47:21
lt's almost over.
:47:22
l--l think
it's enough already.
:47:24
You don't realize
how people pick up
on things.
:47:26
what are they
picking up on, Terry?
:47:28
They're picking up on things
in Miami Beach.
:47:30
You--you just said
they do bad things.
:47:32
They could
call you up on this.
:47:34
(Terry)
Come on, Artie,
don't be stupid.
:47:36
You're a grown man.
:47:37
Cut.
:47:38
Terry.

The reason there were
so many more
:48:01
obscenity cases
:48:03
after 1972
:48:05
was because I went out
and looked for 'em,
:48:08
l knew it was a gamble
:48:12
because of New York
having problems with the city,
:48:15
that it was on trial.
:48:18
(Arthur Sommer)
I opened the picture
and the next thing I knew
:48:20
we had lines
around the corner,
:48:22
There must have been,
:48:23
l'm guessing 100 or 150 people
in line when they opened.
:48:27
Every fucking FBl agent
in the country
was sitting in the audience.
:48:31
Kelly was there
and everything else.
:48:35
(Kelly)
You walked into the theater,
:48:37
There's just a,
sort of a bent-nosed,
:48:38
middle-aged guy
with a very rough voice.
:48:41
He says, ''$5, ''
:48:43
So l gave him $5 and said:
''where is the ticket?''
:48:46
He said,
''No tickets, just go on in.''
:48:48
The movie started
:48:50
and about 50 of them
got up and said:
:48:53
''lt's a sex picture,
get me out! Get me out!
:48:56
lt's a sex picture,
l can't stand it.''
:48:58

Not only was it a violation
