Film Censorship: Regulating America’s Screen is a concise overview of Hollywood censorship and efforts to
regulate American films. It provides a lean introductory survey of U.S. cinema
censorship from the ‘pre-Code’ years and classic studio system ‘Golden Age’—in
which film censorship thrived—to contemporary Hollywood. From the earliest days
of cinema, movies faced controversy over screen images and threats of
censorship. This essential volume draws extensively on primary research from
motion picture archives to unveil the fascinating behind-the-scenes history of
cinema censorship and explore how Hollywood responded to censorial constraints
on screen content in a changing American cultural and industrial landscape. Read more at Film Censorship blog.
