Falwell v. Hustler Supreme Court Oral Argument

There is great movie clip from The People v. Larry Flynt portraying the oral argument before the US Supreme Court in Hustler v. Falwell.

Unfortunately, I can't find an easily accessed public video of the whole argument.  The following video has part of it:

Featured Case - Hustler v. Falwell: Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

The U.S. Supreme Court opinion in this case is well known both in and out of the academy. Access to a picture of the "ad parody" is readily available.  A copy is reproduced below.  Less available is a picture of the Campari ad campaign which the Hustler ad parodied. A copy is provided, below. Also provided below is a clip from "The People vs. Larry Flint" dramatizing the argument before the Supreme Court in Falwell.
