As in the comics,

as in the cinema...

As in almost all other forms

the same moral standard of the film.

" Mickey Mouse" was adult subject.

" Mickey Mouse"!

That none of us

and Luchino Visconti...

They made two films," The Sweet Life"

Those were years when still

the dispute was not there,

And feminism began..

a little "' to raise his head. "
