In the 1952 case Burstyn v. Wilson, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a New York law that prohibited the licensing of films deemed "sacrilegious" violated the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech. The Court held that films, like other forms of expression, are entitled to First Amendment protection. This landmark decision effectively broadened the scope of free speech protections for films, leading to greater artistic freedom in cinema.
