How has America censored British films? In this original,
fascinating book, Anthony Slide answers this question, making full
use for the first time of the recently opened US Production Code
Administration files. Film by film from the 1930s through to the
1960s, he tells the inside story of the ongoing dialogue between
the British film making industry and the American censors. The book
shows graphically how the Production Code system operated,
revealing how the censors viewed moral issues, violence, bad
language and matters of decorum as well as revealing acute national
differences, such as American concern over the British
preoccupation with toilets. It also dispels myths, depicting chief
censor Joseph Breen and his staff as knowledgeable people who
sympathized with and admired the British film industry.
