History YMMV / TheMoonIsBlue

* OvershadowedByControversy: The film version is perhaps best known for the outrage from MoralGuardians at the time over its sexual content. The [[UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode Motion Picture Association of America]] refused to grant it a seal of approval, but Creator/OttoPreminger and Creator/UnitedArtists went ahead and released it anyway. Some theater chains refused to carry it, and [[BannedInChina a few states even banned it]]. Preminger and UA took the state of Kansas to court over its ban, in a case that ultimately went to the Supreme Court, who called the Kansas ban unconstitutional. Said issue was immortalized in the ''Series/{{MASH}}'' episode "The Moon is Not Blue," where Hawkeye and BJ go to great lengths to get a copy of the banned film... only to discover it's actually an innocuous romantic comedy where the only controversial content is that the hereoine is referred to as a "virgin."

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: Despite the outrage over its content and it's ban in multiple states, it still made nearly nine-times its budget, likely factoring into the Hays Code's downfall.
