- High (1967 film)
"High" is a film released in
1967 , directed byLarry Kent and starringLanny Beckman ,Astri Thorvik ,Peter Mathews ,Joyce Cay , andDenis Payne .It is likely most-remembered for being
banned by thecensor s ofQuebec (immediately before its premiere at theMontreal Film Festival ) for its use ofdrugs ,nudity , and explicit sex scenes.In defense, celebrities such as
Jean Renoir ,Fritz Lang , and evenWarren Beatty came to "High" 's defense as a film of art, rather than gratuity.Alan King and
Jean-Pierre Lefebvre , the winners of the 1967 Montreal Film Festival, went so far as to share with Larry Kent the prize money they'd won.External links
