	Sex and the early cinema / 'Ecstasy,' 'Sheik' stir new excitement on DVD
		For years, "Ecstasy" (1933), starring a very young and very naked Hedy Lamarr, was a rumor more than a movie.
		The movie was made by the Czech Gustav Machaty, who had a particular affinity for erotic subjects told from a woman's standpoint.
		There are two schools of thought about "Ecstasy." Some consider it banal, soft-core porn, heavy and obvious in its symbolism, corny and rather silly in its somber approach to love.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Ecstasy
		Explained as such it may sound coarse, but Ecstasy is so well paced and directed, and Lamarr and Mog have such perfect chemistry, that the nudity and sensuality feel natural and appropriate — voyeuristic, but somehow beneficial.
		The film would cause a furor: It was banned and much sought after in the United States (released finally in 1940), particularly when its lead became Miss Hedy Lamarr, an MGM star in the late '30s and into the '40s and '50s.
		But she never made a picture of more legendary status as Ecstasy (she actually turned down Casablanca!) As a young, plumper teenager in Machaty's film, she is superb, conveying lovely, unforced expression and a depth that feels layered and individual — which, considering Lamarr's tumultuous personal life, it probably was.

	Movie Forums - Censorship
		My take on the subject is this: censorship is warranted in the case of offensive, disgusting material, but it is a policy that needs to be exercised with extreme caution, because it can so easily be abused to silence the voices of those one disagrees with, even if they have a legitimate point to make.
		The first thing that comes to my mind, when I think of censorship, are the Nazi book-burnings--the regulation of taste by the state--thought control--the state decreeing what one should or should not think by regulating the ideas one is exposed to.

		In 1933, when she was barely out of her teens, the Viennese-born actress Hedy Lamarr (still known in those days as Hedy Kiesler) launched herself to international stardom courtesy of a “legendary” nude scene in the Czech film Ecstasy.
		Born in Prague in 1901, Machaty started as a pianist in a movie house at 15, got a job acting in films at 17, and by 18 had already directed his first feature.
		His use of music and incidental sound was superbly judicious, his command of pantomime as refined as Chaplin’s, but his loathing of dialogue was also a reaction against the then-cumbersome nature of sound equipment.
