Speaker 1: School of Humans. Ooh, you already know the drill filth heads.
Speaker 1: So I'll be brief. We're doing our first American Filth
Speaker 1: live recording in Atlanta on Saturday, June twenty ninth. It
Speaker 1: will be at Dynamic El Dorado in the Edgewood neighborhood
Speaker 1: and we'll be talking about the American Revolution and some
Speaker 1: gay stuff. So come on out. It's going to be
Speaker 1: a blast. Tickets we'll be in the description of this episode,
Speaker 1: and also you can find the link on Instagram at
Speaker 1: American Filth Pod. All right, let's do some history. So
Speaker 1: in the last couple episodes of American Filth, we were
Speaker 1: talking about Anthony Cumstock, who passed his Obscenity Law through
Speaker 1: Congress in eighteen seventy three, making it okay for him
Speaker 1: to arrest and charge people for sending obscene materials through
Speaker 1: the mail, even worse than a mall cop a post
Speaker 1: office cop. And the convenient thing about the Comstock law
Speaker 1: is it didn't actually define what is obscene, so it
Speaker 1: was kind of up to whatever Comstock thought was obscenity,
Speaker 1: what a loophole, And towards the end of the nineteenth
Speaker 1: century and into the twentieth he was targeting women who
Speaker 1: worked in healthcare and provided birth control and abortions, but
Speaker 1: he was also going after women and men who were
Speaker 1: feminist scholars, philosophers, writers, and especially when they were talking
Speaker 1: about sex yucky. And what I think is super crazy
Speaker 1: about Comstock coming after some of these people was that
Speaker 1: a lot of these feminists at the time weren't talking
Speaker 1: about sexual liberation or being sex positive things we associate
Speaker 1: with feminism today. A lot of these people were actually
Speaker 1: really into abstinence, chastity, celibacy, and so Comstock was going
Speaker 1: after people who are already like, hey, yeah, we're not
Speaker 1: actually promoting sex. We actually want you to have less
Speaker 1: of it. There was a lot of feminist activity, you know,
Speaker 1: feminist activity going on in Chicago at the time. There
Speaker 1: was this one lady, doctor Alice Bunker Stockton, and she
Speaker 1: was a big old feminist and she believed that sex
Speaker 1: for men was a physical necessity, but for women it
Speaker 1: was not. She was like, marriage turns a woman into
Speaker 1: a prostitute because she loses all ownership of herself. She's like, actually,
Speaker 1: a wife is worse than a prostitute because you don't
Speaker 1: even get paid for it. In marriage, you have no agency.
Speaker 1: You have to bear all these children you don't want
Speaker 1: to have because your husband needs to have sex. She
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, abstinence except for procreation, that's the way
Speaker 1: to go. And doctor Stockton, she was actually friends with
Speaker 1: the people over at Oneida, remember the Oneida community, and
Speaker 1: she believed in coitus reservetists, basically being like, dudes, you
Speaker 1: don't have to ejaculate to have a good time during sex.
Speaker 1: Another woman who became a follower and then a colleague
Speaker 1: of Stockton was Ida Cratic and cratic well, she was
Speaker 1: a bit kookier than Stockton. She was all about coitus reservatus,
Speaker 1: but she doubled down with spiritualism. She was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's easy not to jiz Fellas, especially if there was
Speaker 1: a quote aspiration to have a communion with God. This
Speaker 1: communion creates the most intense physical and mental satisfaction in
Speaker 1: the act. That's right, Fellas. If you embrace the Lord
Speaker 1: in the right way, you don't need to ejaculate to
Speaker 1: get pleasure from sex. Think about God while you're doing it,
Speaker 1: and yeah, this is all a bit he haha. But
Speaker 1: these were also serious people having serious thoughts trying to
Speaker 1: make life better for women at the time, and Comstock
Speaker 1: was coming after these people hard. She was trying to
Speaker 1: ruin their lives, their career. And Cratic, the same as
Speaker 1: Mademe Foistelle from the last episode, met her demise because
Speaker 1: of Comstock, because she was arrested repeatedly for one of
Speaker 1: her pamphlets that was considered super duper obscene, and then
Speaker 1: after her last arrest, she just couldn't take it any longer.
Speaker 1: But during her life she was a sex expert for
Speaker 1: young couples and she knew what she was talking about
Speaker 1: because she had a husband who was also a ghost.
Speaker 1: What this is American filth And I'm Gabby Watts. Every
Speaker 1: week I tell you a filthy story from American history.
Speaker 1: This week's episode Comstock Part three, and don't worry, guys,
Speaker 1: it's also the last part. Then we're going to go
Speaker 1: on to something very stupid. Yes, you didn't miss here.
Speaker 1: I just said that Idacratic's husband was a ghost or
Speaker 1: maybe he was a like a spirit, like an angel,
Speaker 1: But will get there. Idacratic was born in eighteen fifty
Speaker 1: seven in Philadelphia, and she was raised by a single
Speaker 1: mom and very religious amongst her Quaker Brethren. She was
Speaker 1: also pretty smart, pretty curious, and by the time she
Speaker 1: was sixteen, she was already a radical feminist. She protested
Speaker 1: against the University of Pennsylvania to be admitted as a
Speaker 1: student because at the time they were like, mmmmm, we
Speaker 1: don't want any women in here. She was denied, but
Speaker 1: that wouldn't stop her from trying to get an education.
Speaker 1: And back then, if you're a woman trying to get
Speaker 1: an education, you were limited to being taught about shit
Speaker 1: like being a secretary. So by eighteen, Kratick was the frickin'
Speaker 1: best secretary that she could be. And she even wrote
Speaker 1: a textbook called Primary Phonography, and then she taught a
Speaker 1: stenography course at a business college. But you know, once
Speaker 1: you already write a textbook, you're kind of like, well,
Speaker 1: this is boring, what do I do next? So what
Speaker 1: she did is she moved from Philadelphia to California. Another
Speaker 1: reason she did this was she wanted to get away
Speaker 1: from her doma neering mother. And after she moved, she
Speaker 1: was bopping across the United States in England getting various
Speaker 1: jobs working in business. When she was back in the States,
Speaker 1: she ended up going to Chicago and started connecting with
Speaker 1: people like doctor Stockton and other writers and thinkers, and
Speaker 1: she herself was thinking and writing about sexuality and feminism,
Speaker 1: so obviously she was set to be on Comstock's naughty list.
Speaker 1: And she was put in direct debate with Comstock in
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety three at the World's Columbian Exposition. Oh doesn't
Speaker 1: everyone love an exposition? And what happened at the exposition
Speaker 1: was that there was a performance by this woman who
Speaker 1: went by Little Egypt and her act was quite controversial
Speaker 1: because it was, oh my god, belly dancing. And Anthony
Speaker 1: Comstock hated this. He was like, a woman undulating her belly,
Speaker 1: oscillating her tom tom. That is disgusting, that is obscene.
Speaker 1: He described it as a houcci coochy dance. Honestly, that
Speaker 1: description is more obscene than the belly dancing to me.
Speaker 1: And he was like, this dance is so gross, we
Speaker 1: gotta get this show canceled. But then Kratick wrote an
Speaker 1: article that was like, hmm, seems like Comstock is being
Speaker 1: a little bit sensitive. You know, Comstock, you can see
Speaker 1: stuff much worse than this on the streets of New
Speaker 1: York City any day of the week. You're saying, this
Speaker 1: dance of the belly is worse es than that, And
Speaker 1: through the article she wrote, she elaborated some of the
Speaker 1: finer points of her philosophy on sexuality. She was like, actually,
Speaker 1: I think Little Egypt's dance is pretty modest and there's
Speaker 1: no lewdness. Actually, I feel like this dance isn't promoting
Speaker 1: us to have wild, copious sex at all, but is
Speaker 1: demonstrating to us that we should show restraint in our
Speaker 1: own sexuality. She wrote, it shows that prolonged pleasure goes
Speaker 1: hand in hand with sexual self control and spiritual bliss.
Speaker 1: And she was like, this dance shows married couples that
Speaker 1: they should exercise restraint and self control in their sex life,
Speaker 1: because that would end the horrors of accidental or forced
Speaker 1: maternity without violating the natural law. At the end of
Speaker 1: the article, she was like, Oh, by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: writing a whole pamphlet about this, so you should purchase
Speaker 1: that separately from this article, and that will you how
Speaker 1: to practice coitus reservatists and all that other good stuff.
Speaker 1: And she's like, in conclusion, stupid comstock. I actually think
Speaker 1: this dance should be shown around the country so that
Speaker 1: everyone knows how to show sexual restraint. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1: She got all of that from belly dancing. And I
Speaker 1: would say Kradick won this argument because first of all,
Speaker 1: the Post Office said that her article and the pamphlet
Speaker 1: she wrote was obscene, but then she wasn't sentenced to
Speaker 1: any prison time. And then the bigger win was that
Speaker 1: the dance did not close at the exposition. In fact,
Speaker 1: it was the most popular attraction. So they're also like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can't close it because that's how we're making all
Speaker 1: of our money. Ah, so capitalism is the real winner.
Speaker 1: But this was just the beginning of her public disputes
Speaker 1: with Comstock, and he wasn't her only hater. Because many people,
Speaker 1: including her mom, wanted to throw Kratick in an asylum.
Speaker 1: Kratick's mom thought she was crazy. The main reason being
Speaker 1: was that Krati's husband, who was named soph wasn't a man.
Speaker 1: Oh no, he was a spirit slash ghost who Cratic
Speaker 1: talked to via a Oigi board. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: after these soothing advertisements. So we finally reached the husband.
Speaker 1: Sof was a ghost or a spirit or like a
Speaker 1: heavenly presence who Kratic had met on my favorite dating app,
Speaker 1: Ouiji board and According to Kratik, they had a very
Speaker 1: sexually intellectual relationship. She learned everything she knew about sexuality
Speaker 1: through Sof, her ghost husband. She was just like me
Speaker 1: and Sof, we have a lot of conversations and sexual
Speaker 1: experiences that will help me help other married couples. You know,
Speaker 1: that's why I'm a sex educator, because I've had all
Speaker 1: this experience with my ghost husband. So yes, a lot
Speaker 1: of people thought Kratick was delusional, including her mom, who
Speaker 1: had actually introduced Kratick to the world of spirituality in
Speaker 1: the first place. So Yes, Kratick was raised Quaker but
Speaker 1: also spiritual. Spiritualism became quite popular in the US and
Speaker 1: the mid nineteenth century, and it kind of kicked off
Speaker 1: in eighteen forty eight after these two young sisters, the
Speaker 1: Fox sisters allegedly talked to some spirits in their family farmhouse.
Speaker 1: What happened is one day they asked their neighbor to
Speaker 1: come over because they had been hearing this weird tapping
Speaker 1: on the wall of their home. They were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: every night around bedtime, we hear a knocking on the
Speaker 1: wall and it has this vibe of being otherworldly. So
Speaker 1: one night, the neighbored along with the sisters parents stood
Speaker 1: in the girls room and they were like, hey, spirit,
Speaker 1: if you're there, knock three times and guess what. The
Speaker 1: spirit did knock, or at least something knocked the neighbor,
Speaker 1: and the Fox parents were terrified. The Foxes were actually
Speaker 1: so terrified that they moved house. But that incident it
Speaker 1: got reported around and propelled the Fox sisters into a
Speaker 1: career of communing with the spirits, and seances and spiritual
Speaker 1: ceremonies erupted across the United States. One reason seances might
Speaker 1: have been popular at the time was because it was
Speaker 1: pretty bleak out there. There was a lot of disease.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were dying of smallpox, especially children.
Speaker 1: Women were dying in childbirth, men were dying at war,
Speaker 1: so there was a lot of loss, so it makes
Speaker 1: sense that people would want to talk to the beyond.
Speaker 1: Even Mary Todd Lincoln had a seance at the White
Speaker 1: House after her son died. And this is when ougi
Speaker 1: boards became popular. Because the thing about a seance is
Speaker 1: sometimes it can get a little tedious, a little annoying,
Speaker 1: because usually what would happen is you would call out
Speaker 1: to the spirits and be like, hey, are you there,
Speaker 1: and then you would start calling out the alphabet and
Speaker 1: so the spirit could tap when you say the right letter.
Speaker 1: But that's tedious. That takes a long time. So people
Speaker 1: started making boards with the alphabet on them and then
Speaker 1: having a little tool that would then move them around
Speaker 1: the board. And then this guy in Marylyn was like, huh,
Speaker 1: this seems like a good opportunity to make money, so
Speaker 1: he created a Ouiji board, got the patent, and then
Speaker 1: was able to make a lot of money off of
Speaker 1: this niche spiritual community and cratics. She was all about
Speaker 1: spiritualism as she was working as a secretary. She was
Speaker 1: also looking into stuff like which folklore the occult and
Speaker 1: she had a weija board or some sort of tool,
Speaker 1: and that's how she met soph who she called her
Speaker 1: borderland husband. So anyway, after Kradik got all that public
Speaker 1: attention because of her article about the belly Dancer, she
Speaker 1: pitched herself as a lecturer and toured around the country
Speaker 1: being like, I'm an expert on sex education and maritual affairs.
Speaker 1: Obviously I know all about this stuff because I have
Speaker 1: a husband, and yes he is a spirit but whatever.
Speaker 1: So yeah, she was writing all these pamphlets about sex,
Speaker 1: and then in eighteen ninety four ninety five, she wrote
Speaker 1: a pamphlet called Heavenly Bridegroom, where she talked about her
Speaker 1: spirit husband's soph She was like, yeah, he's my heavenly bridegroom,
Speaker 1: and I'm his earthly wife. And she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: now I go by missus Kratick. But obviously she had
Speaker 1: a lot of critics about this. They're like, what, You're
Speaker 1: married to a ghost? That is ridiculou Liz. People were
Speaker 1: accusing her of all sorts of stuff. They're like, you're
Speaker 1: just creating this mystical husband because you're trying to hide
Speaker 1: all of your illicit affairs, or you're an absolute crazy person.
Speaker 1: We can't trust you. And Kratick's mom was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I do feel like you're getting a bit too into
Speaker 1: this spiritualism stuff, so I think you should be institutionalized.
Speaker 1: Kratick hated that, but in eighteen ninety five she did
Speaker 1: spend a short time in an asylum, but then she
Speaker 1: was able to get out and she went to London
Speaker 1: to avoid legal action against her and her crazy writings.
Speaker 1: When she moved back to Chicago, she was giving lectures
Speaker 1: and opened up a sex clinic, basically pitching herself as
Speaker 1: a sex expert for young couples, and then if couples
Speaker 1: were too embarrassed to see her in person, she would
Speaker 1: send them pamphlets through the mail. And so you guys
Speaker 1: know where this is going. She's sending of material through
Speaker 1: the mail. So Comstock came callin. In eighteen ninety nine,
Speaker 1: Credit got arrested after a medical journal published her pamphlet
Speaker 1: Right Marital Living, which she had also been sending in
Speaker 1: the mail. After that, her place was raided, her pamphlets
Speaker 1: were confiscated and destroyed, so she was arrested and she
Speaker 1: was able to get out of jail because a free
Speaker 1: speech advocate paid her bail, and then she was only
Speaker 1: able to avoid prison time by pleading guilty. After this happened,
Speaker 1: Cradock was so depressed that she contemplated committing suicide, but
Speaker 1: instead she decided to write another pamphlet. This one was
Speaker 1: called The Wedding Night. And it's The Wedding Night that
Speaker 1: led to Cradock's end. So what was it about cratics
Speaker 1: writings that were so abhorrent to Comstock? It's weirdly she
Speaker 1: and Comstock actually agreed on a lot of things they
Speaker 1: both didn't like, prostitution, masturbation, contraception, abortion. By the thing
Speaker 1: that they disagreed on was talking about this stuff in public.
Speaker 1: She said, I need make no plea for the propriety
Speaker 1: of my subject. What concerns us all is imminently fit
Speaker 1: for discussion by all, and too much light cannot be
Speaker 1: thrown upon it. So let's take a look at the
Speaker 1: Wedding Night. It's a pretty short pamphlet, about thirty pages,
Speaker 1: and what it does is outline how traumatic sex can
Speaker 1: be for a woman on her wedding night. She was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: women don't usually know about this stuff, and then on
Speaker 1: their wedding night they're expected to just show men their genitals,
Speaker 1: even though they've been told their whole lives. Don't show
Speaker 1: anyone your genitals. But let's have a reading, shall we.
Speaker 1: The young girl who has never been alone in a
Speaker 1: locked room with a man in all of her life,
Speaker 1: suddenly finds herself, as though in a dream, delivered over
Speaker 1: by her own innocent and pure affection, into the power
Speaker 1: of a man to be used at his will and pleasure.
Speaker 1: She who has never bared more than her throat and
Speaker 1: shoulders and arms to the world now finds that her
Speaker 1: whole body, especially those parts which she has all her
Speaker 1: life been taught it was immodest to fail to keep covered,
Speaker 1: are no longer to be her own private property. She
Speaker 1: must share their privacy with this man. Fortunate, indeed is
Speaker 1: the bride whose lover at such a moment is a
Speaker 1: gentleman in every fiber of his being. For there is
Speaker 1: a wrong way, and there is a right way to
Speaker 1: pass the wedding night. In the majority of cases, no
Speaker 1: genital union at all should be attempted, or even suggested
Speaker 1: upon that night. To the average young girl virtuously brought up,
Speaker 1: the experience of sharing her bedroom with an man is
Speaker 1: sufficient of a shock to her previous maidenly habits without
Speaker 1: adding to her nervousness by insisting upon the close intimacies
Speaker 1: of genital contact. And incredible as it may sound to
Speaker 1: the average man, she is usually altogether without the sexual
Speaker 1: experience which every boy acquires in his dream life. The
Speaker 1: average typical girl does not have erotic dreams. In many cases, too,
Speaker 1: through the prudishness of her parents, a prudishness which is
Speaker 1: positively criminal. She is not even told beforehand that genital
Speaker 1: union will be required of her and the ideal honeymoon.
Speaker 1: The bridegroom will not seek genital contact until the bride
Speaker 1: herself shows indications of desiring it, but she might never
Speaker 1: want it. My dear sir, you must be indeed lacking
Speaker 1: in manhood to be unable to arouse sex desire in
Speaker 1: a bride who loves you with even a halfway short
Speaker 1: of affection. Cratig then goes on to talk about how
Speaker 1: while a man thinks a penis is awesome, women think
Speaker 1: they are disgusting. She says, you should remember that that
Speaker 1: organ of which you are justly so proud is not
Speaker 1: possessed by a woman, and that she is utterly ignorant
Speaker 1: of its functions practically until she has experienced sexual contact,
Speaker 1: and that it is to her who is not desirous
Speaker 1: of such contact, something of a monstrosity. Even when a
Speaker 1: woman has already had pleasurable experience of genital contact, she
Speaker 1: requires each time to be aroused amorously before that organ,
Speaker 1: in its state of activity, can become attractive for a
Speaker 1: man to exhibit to even an experienced wife, his organ
Speaker 1: ready for action when she herself is not amorously aroused
Speaker 1: is as a rule, not sexually attractive. To her. On
Speaker 1: the contrary, it is often sexually repulsive and at times
Speaker 1: out and out disgusting to her. But then Krata gets
Speaker 1: into the willy nilly of how you should have sex
Speaker 1: first for play. If you will kiss and caress her
Speaker 1: in a gentle, delicate and reverent way, especially at the
Speaker 1: throat and bosom, you will find that little by little,
Speaker 1: you will, by reflex action from the bosom to the genitals,
Speaker 1: successfully arouse within her a vague desire for the intertwining
Speaker 1: of the lower limbs, with ever closer and closer contact,
Speaker 1: until you melt into one another's embrace at the genitals
Speaker 1: in a perfectly natural and wholesome fashion. You will then
Speaker 1: find her genitals so well lubricated that your gradual entrance
Speaker 1: can be affected not only without pain to her, but
Speaker 1: with a rapture so exquisite to her that she will
Speaker 1: be more ready to invite your entrance upon a future occasion.
Speaker 1: Kratik then gives some more advice. She's like, you got
Speaker 1: to stop smoking and drinking alcohol will lessen that coordination
Speaker 1: among your nervous ganglia, accentuate your prominent weaknesses, and inhibit
Speaker 1: your powers of self control. Basically, you'll get whiskey dick.
Speaker 1: But then Krata gives some weird advice. She says, do not,
Speaker 1: upon any account use the hand for the purpose of
Speaker 1: sexual excitation at the bride's genitals. There is only but
Speaker 1: one lawful finger of love with which to approach her genitals,
Speaker 1: and this is the male organ. That's right, fellas, don't
Speaker 1: stimulate the clitteris with your hands disgusting, And she says
Speaker 1: that which is confusing. She's like, don't touch the clitterists.
Speaker 1: But still try to make a woman come, she says.
Speaker 1: When you are performing your movements, do not indulge in
Speaker 1: the thought of how much you are enjoying them. Rather
Speaker 1: dwell in thought upon how much pleasure you are giving
Speaker 1: your bride, and study carefully every movement with reference to
Speaker 1: its pleasure producing effect upon her. For the lady, bear
Speaker 1: in mind that it is part of your wifely duty
Speaker 1: to perform pelvic movements during the embrace, riding your husband's
Speaker 1: organ gently and at times passionately, with various movements up
Speaker 1: and down, sideways, and with a semi rotary movement resembling
Speaker 1: the movement of the thread of a screw upon a screw.
Speaker 1: And then she gives this really great advice. She's like, hey, ladies,
Speaker 1: before your wedding night, you should go to a doctor
Speaker 1: and ask him to snip your hymen with surgical scissors.
Speaker 1: So obviously this pamphlet caused quite a stir with the
Speaker 1: Comstockians of the time. She moved to d C and
Speaker 1: was arrested there for her distribution of The Wedding Night,
Speaker 1: and then she moved to New York City, which was
Speaker 1: Comstock country. That's where he was from, that's where he
Speaker 1: was living. An idocratic said about her move, I have
Speaker 1: an inward feeling that I am really divinely led here
Speaker 1: to New York to face this wicked depress man Comestock
Speaker 1: and open court. So she moved and she started reprinting
Speaker 1: The Wedding Night and sending it out through the mail.
Speaker 1: State police raided her home and busted her. They were like, wahaha,
Speaker 1: are these your pamphlets? We're taking you to jail. In
Speaker 1: the courtroom, the legal people were like, hey, if you
Speaker 1: plead insanity, we can probably get all these charges dropped.
Speaker 1: You know, you have your spirit ghost husband's soaf, that's
Speaker 1: pretty good evidence that you're insane. But she was like, no,
Speaker 1: I refuse, so She was sentenced to three months at
Speaker 1: Blackwell Island. As she was taken away in the courtroom,
Speaker 1: one newspaper wrote, Kradick took her sentence in stoic silence
Speaker 1: and looked neither to the right nor the left as
Speaker 1: she was led away. Right as she got out, Comstock
Speaker 1: then arrested her on federal charges of obscenity. Her mom
Speaker 1: even was like, hey, please, just plead insanity. Honestly, an
Speaker 1: indefinite stay in an asylum isn't going to be nearly
Speaker 1: as bad as five years in prison. Just say you're crazy.
Speaker 1: But again Kradick refused. She locked herself away in her room,
Speaker 1: wrote a series of letters, and then she drank some
Speaker 1: lamp oil and cut her wrists and died. I know
Speaker 1: it's another sad one I told you in those letters.
Speaker 1: She wrote to her mom, I maintained my right to
Speaker 1: die as I have lived, a free woman, not cowed
Speaker 1: into silence by any other human being. She ended her
Speaker 1: letter to her mom saying that they would meet beyond
Speaker 1: the grave, where Comstock and corrupt judges and impure minded
Speaker 1: people are not known. Twelve hundred people came to her funeral.
Speaker 1: She was heralded as a martyr fighting obscenity, and that woman,
Speaker 1: doctor Stockton, gave a speech where she was, like Kratik,
Speaker 1: spent her life nobly teaching tabooed subjects and seeking to
Speaker 1: educate where she found ignorance Anthony Comstock. He finally died
Speaker 1: of pneumonia in nineteen fifteen, but don't worry. The Comstock
Speaker 1: Act is still around, and it's what a lot of
Speaker 1: conservatives are trying to use right now to block people's
Speaker 1: access to the abortion pill. Isn't life amazing? As always,
Speaker 1: we learn a lesson on American Filth, and I think
Speaker 1: that lesson today is that if you can't find that
Speaker 1: man of your dreams, get a Ouiji board. You might
Speaker 1: be there. Cure the credits. American Film is a production
