 After screening this film, Nico Jacobellis, manager of a motion  picture theater in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was charged with and  convicted of possessing and exhibiting an obscene film. He appealed  all the way to the US Supreme Court, which overturned the  convictions, ruling that the film was not obscene. In a concurring  opinion, Justice Potter Stewart made his famous pronouncement  concerning what was pornography: "I know it when I see it, and the  motion picture involved in this case is not that." Jacobellis v.  Ohio, 378 U.S. 184, 197 (1964) (Stewart, J., concurring).
