内容説明・目次

内容説明

Since the earliest days of the movie industry, mainstream films have been banned for their sexual, religious, social, and political content. Forbidden Films traces the efforts to censor 125 major films, ranging from the silent Birth of a Nation to the classic Gone With the Wind. This fascinating reference examines the continued efforts to regulate the industry, providing a summary of each banned work - including production details, its censorship history, and suggestions for further reading on the film.

目次

Early censorship efforts to regulate the industry, such as the Hays Code in 1922 * The Motion Picture Production Code in 1930 and the "pre-code" era * The emergence of the Catholic League of Decency, which wielded extensive power for nearly forty years * The reasoning behind different types of film censorship - including racism and anti-Semitism, sexual "indecency," and the fear of Communism * Classic and contemporary films that have faced censorship, such as La Dolce Vita, The Last Picture Show, and Scarface.
