CGiii Comment
Forman makes Flint into the hero of free speech...which is quite a clever move - he was a money-making pornographer...first and foremost.
As to accuracy - we will never know - but, it is entertaining/informative into the workings of the US Constitution...as to accuracy...?

Larry Flynt is the hedonistically obnoxious, but indomitable, publisher of Hustler magazine. The film recounts his struggle to make an honest living publishing his porn magazine and how it changes into a battle to protect the freedom of speech for all people.
