This controversial film, which featured a male homosexual rape scene, was first banned in Sweden, but was rereleased after reediting.[1] One of the excised scenes depicted a woman being raped by a dog.[2] The film was also banned in Norway until 1971. The reactions from especially conservative circles in Sweden were of disgust and outrage, and the outrage was among the reasons why the Christian Democratic Party was founded in 1964.

491 ist ein 1963 entstandenes schwedisches Filmdrama von Vilgot Sjöman mit jugendlichen Laiendarstellern in den Hauptrollen. „Der untersetzte, rotbärtige Arbeitersohn Sjöman hat die sexuellen Ausschweifungen seiner Hauptfiguren zu einem gezielt-polemischen Zweck inszeniert: 491 stellt die Methoden in Frage, mit denen im schwedischen Wohlfahrtsstaat die Resozialisierung straffällig gewordener Jugendlicher betrieben wird.“[1]
