In 1952, in the case of "Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson", the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overruled its 1915 decision and held that motion pictures were entitled to First Amendment protection, so that the New York State Board of Regents could not ban "The Miracle", a short film that was one half of "L'Amore" (1948), an anthology film directed by Roberto Rossellini. Film distributor Joseph Burstyn released the film in the U.S. in 1950, and the case became known as the "Miracle Decision" due to its connection to Rossellini's film. That in turn reduced the threat of government regulation that justified the Production Code, and the PCA's powers over the Hollywood industry were greatly reduced. At the forefront of challenges to the code was director Otto Preminger, whose films violated the code repeatedly in the 1950s. His 1953 film "The Moon is Blue", about a young woman who tries to play two suitors off against each other by claiming that she plans to keep her virginity until marriage, was the first film to use the words "virgin", "seduce", and "mistress", and it was released without a certificate of approval. He later made "The Man with the Golden Arm" (1955), which portrayed the prohibited subject of drug abuse, and "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959) which dealt with rape. Preminger's films were direct assaults on the authority of the Production Code and, since they were successful, hastened its abandonment. In 1954, Joseph Breen retired and Geoffrey Shurlock was appointed as his successor. "Variety" noted "a decided tendency towards a broader, more casual approach" in the enforcement of the code. Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot" (1959) and Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960) were also released without a certificate of approval due to their themes and became box office hits, and as a result further weakened the authority of the code. President Barack Obama said on December 19, 2014 that Sony "made a mistake" in pulling its film "The Interview" from distribution following a cyber-attack that American officials may have linked to North Korea. "We cannot have a society where some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States," Obama said. The film has since been released in limited distribution at select theaters. In the early 1960s, British films such as "Victim" (1961), "A Taste of Honey" (1961), and "The Leather Boys" (1963) offered a daring social commentary about gender roles and homophobia that violated the Hollywood Production Code, yet the films were still released in America.
