The Chicago International Film Festival is declared open to adults only to avoid having to obtain programming approval from the Chicago Censor Board, a civic group made up of policemen’s widows that rated films for local audiences. The United States Supreme Court ultimately dissolved the group two years later. Harold Lloyd, Otto Preminger, and silent film comedienne Colleen Moore are celebrated at the 2nd Chicago International Film Festival.
