Sumario:The article reports on the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the ban set on the Italian film "The Miracle." The author describes that reversing the ban by the New York State courts may have opened some unleashed evils of legal questions. The first version of the film depicts a blasphemous and sacrilegious intent, and regards the title as a mockery, while the second version is about the story of a demented girl who received a miracle of regaining sanity upon giving birth to a son.
