[1] Lord Longford and Raymond Blackburn decided to pursue a matter of pornography classification for the film Language of Love[2] into the Court of Appeal and lost the writ of mandamus against the Police Commissioner, who had refused to intrude upon the British Board of Film Classification remit.

The civil action was filed under Section 305 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which allows the U.S. Government to prohibit the importation of obscene materials.

This copy was also seized by the Commissioner on 4 December, and the United States Attorney filed another civil action for forfeiture.

Judge Pollack and an advisory jury applied the three-part obscenity test from the 1966 Memoirs v. Massachusetts decision, finding that the film was an appeal to prurient interest, an offensive affront to contemporary community standards, and utterly without redeeming social importance and value.

[12] Mera ur kärlekens språk (More from the Language of Love) had equal box office success but it dealt more with alternative sexuality and lifestyles and also with disabled people.
