If a motion picture is being distributed in a foreign tenitory which has moral rights law applicable to film, the law may well apply notwithstanding the country of origin of the film. France, for example, at the urging of the heirs of John Huston, blocked the distribution of a colorized version of The Asphalt Jungle under French moral rights law. Similariy, several intemationally recognized composers of music, including Shostakovich, sued to block the use of public domain music they had written as background music in film which espoused political views which were inconsistent with those of the composers. Their efforts to block the use of the music in the U.S. failed (Shostakovich v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp.. 196 Misc. 67, 80 N.Y.S.2d 575 (1948)), but succeeded in France (Soc. Le Chant de Monde V. Soc. Fox Europe et Fox Americaine Twentieth Century. Judgment of Jan. 13, 1984, 1 Gax Pal. 191 (1954) D.A. 16, 80 (Cour d'Appel Paris)).
