I really enjoyed watching "Carnal Knowledge," which Kato viewed as the 1,278th movie.

Do you know what "Carnal Knowledge" means?

Well... It is an archaic or legal euphemism for sexual intercourse.

The term derives from the Biblical usage of the verb "know", as in the King James Bible and other versions, a euphemism for sexual conduct.

An example of this usage is in the first part of the Bible, the Book of Genesis, which describes how Adam and Eve created their first child: "And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with [the help of] Jehovah." – Genesis 4:1.

As Kato jotted down in the above comment, in those days of the early 1970s, the general receptiveness by the public to frank discussion of sexual issues was sometimes at odds with local community standards.

A theatre in Albany, Georgia, showed the film.

On January 13, 1972, the local police served a search warrant on the theatre, and seized the film.

In March 1972, the theatre manager, Mr. Jenkins, was convicted of the crime of "distributing obscene material".

His conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court of Georgia.

On June 24, 1974, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the State of Georgia had gone too far in classifying material as obscene in view of its prior decision in Miller v. California, and overturned the conviction.

Compared to the pornogrphic, this is far from obscene material, but the film simply depicts the things far from serious material.

With today's general receptiveness in mind, however, I think this movie is a good entertaining piece.

In any case, I hope Kato will write another interesting article soon.

So please come back to see me.

Have a nice day!

Bye bye ...

Hi, I'm June Adams.

Kato is a real movie lover, who tries to watch 1001 movies.

As a matter of fact, he has already accomplished his goal.

Kato watched "The Arabian Nights" or "One Thousand and One Nights" as his 1001th movie.

You might just as well want to view it.

The stories in "the Arabian Nights" were collected over many centuries by various authors, translators, and scholars across West, Central, and South Asia and North Africa.

The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature.

In particular, many tales were originally folk stories from the Caliphate era, while others, especially the frame story, are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work Hazār Afsān which in turn relied partly on Indian elements.

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryār and his wife Scheherazade and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves.

The stories proceed from this original tale.

Some are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord.

Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more.
