Lang's '[[high culture]]' interpretation of the story is lost on Prokosch, whose character is a firm indictment of the commercial motion picture hierarchy.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Contempt |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0057345/ |access-date=13 September 2022 |website=[[Box Office Mojo]] |archive-date=14 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220914004312/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0057345/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
