:50:00
because I was proven innocent
:50:06
before being charged.
:50:09
The authors were the ones
to go to trial.
:50:12
We are not considered.
So I
:50:17
escape the denunciation.
:50:22
I was just an executant.
:50:25
I faced no judge.
:50:32
The film was done, it was
already pre-sold to United Artists.
:50:39
The mistake of the producers
was to do no premiere
:50:44
in small provincial villages,
as usual.
:50:48
They tried,
:50:52
probably under pressure
from United Artists,
:50:55
to make a premiere in Milano.
:50:59
A judge from Milano,
who was quite resolute,
:51:04
and also quite young,
seized it.
:51:07
When the movie was seized,
while the takings
:51:12
got close to 10 billions
:51:17
after only 10 days,
:51:19
we were completely down.
:51:23
United Artists
left us right away.
:51:27
We didn't know what to do.
:51:30
At that time, the movie was,
completely banned
:51:33
there was nothing to do.
:51:36
We needed a trial.
:51:37
We needed a trial because...
:51:40
We were accused of having
killed people
:51:46
and of course the animals.
:51:51
Adventure really began then.
:51:54
Both our producers hired
:51:57
the best lawyers of the time.
