A record-breaking sensation at the box office, I Am Curious (Yellow) had to win a highly publicized legal battle before it could be shown to American audiences. It aroused interest and discussion because of its direct portrayal of the attitudes and problems — social, sexual, and political — of contemporary youth. Norman Mailer wrote at the time that it was “one of the most important pictures I have ever seen in my life. . . . I felt I had encountered a major work. . . . I think it is a profoundly moral movie.”
