A valuable and thoroughly researched history of Hollywood censorship.--The Philadelphia Inquirer. As the debate over the current movie rating system rages, no book could be more topical than this. Using 12 movies to explore the history and implementation of the Motion Picture Production Code, the authors combine a lively style with provocative insights and a wealth of fascinating anecdotes to show how this sytem helped shape screen content for nearly 50 years of American life. 16-page photo insert.
