Moon Is Blue Film Ban Stayed by State Supreme Court
The Kansas Supreme Court stayed a lower court ruling banning the film The Moon Is Blue, keeping showings allowed while it hears an appeal. The ban had been issued by Holmby Productions and United Artists Corp. through the state board of review, which enforces censorship standards. District Judge Harry G. Miller Jr. ruled the law unconstitutional for lacking definite moral standards. The board contends new regulations superseded the old, but the stay preserves current availability pending further action.
