Original films made prior to 1968 and their remakes produced after were compared in the content areas of profanity, nudity, sexual content, alcohol and drug use, and violence.

Richards* & David J. Weinert** I. INTRODUCTION Just one week before rendering its controversial landmark decision on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act1— arguably the most anticipated ruling of the October 2011 Term—the U.S. Supreme Court sidestepped the longstanding question of whether the First Amendment, given today‘s multifaceted media landscape, no longer permits the Federal Communications Commission to regulate broadcast indecency on the nation‘s airwaves. The Court‘s narrow ruling in FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc.2 (―Fox II‖) let broadcasters off the hook for the specific on-air transgressions that brought the case to the Court‘s docket— twice3—but did little to resolve the larger looming issue of whether such content regulations have become obsolete. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for a unanimous Court, instead concluded that ―[t]he Commission failed to give Fox or ABC fair notice prior to the broadcasts in question that fleeting expletives and momentary nudity could be found actionably indecent.‖4 As a result of this lack of notice, ―the Commission‘s standards as applied * John & Ann Curley Professor of First Amendment Studies and Founding Director of the Pennsylvania Center for the First Amendment at The Pennsylvania State University.

    PRESS BOOK 90% Fresh No film has ever understood elite athletes in the way that this film does. —Wayne Gretzky OSCAR / AWARDS CHATTER Rarely have I encountered a sports movie as smart or thrilling as this one — it makes one look at the world of sports, and beyond, in an entirely different way. It’s one of the year’s first early doc features Oscar contenders.” —Scott Feinberg, The Hollywood Reporter “Savannah Film Fest: Directors of 10 Top 2018 Docs Discuss Challenges They Faced” —The Hollywood Reporter, Panel Discussion at the Savannah Film Festival An interview and podcast with Jerry Rice “An early Academy Awards contender” —Peter Hartlaub, The San Francisco Chronicle Interview with Gabe Polsky “Fascinating sports related doc about what separates the best athletes from the rest.” —Awards Chatter Podcast PRESS HIGHLIGHTS “One of the film’s implicit lessons, is that you can’t teach greatness; you can only encourage it or stifle it. How many would-be Gretzkys and Pelés, Polsky wonders, will never be discovered—will never even discover themselves—because they’ve self-identified as gymnasts or swimmers beginning in preschool?” —Ben McGrath, The New Yorker “Great characters and filmed beautifully. It's Gladwellian polemical side— soulful and persuasive-- is adulterated well with trademark oddness--the lingering-a-little-too-long shots, the B-roll, and the clincher, the Walter Gretzky singing "Que Sera." Perfect pitch!” —Nick Paumgarten, The New Yorker “Peeks inside the mind of geniuses— athletic or otherwise— are always worth our time.
