This entertaining and insightful book is the first devoted
exclusively to the films that have earned a special place in motion
picture history by pushing the 'cinematic envelope' with their
treatment of provocative subjects and themes. "Obscene, Indecent,
Immoral & Offensive: 100+ Years of Censored, Banned and
Controversial Films" chronicles the history of Hollywood censorship
and the films that were banned, censored, and condemned by the
Production Code Administration and the Legion of Decency. Stephen
Tropiano offers readers insightful and accessible analysis of films
that were branded 'controversial' at the time of their release due
to explicit language, nudity, graphic sex, violence, and their
treatment of 'adult' subject matter and themes.The films profiled
include "The Birth of a Nation", "Anatomy of a Murder", "Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", "Baby Doll", "Blackboard Jungle",
"Bonnie and Clyde", "The Wild Bunch", "A Clockwork Orange",
"Natural Born Killers", "Caligula", "Rosemary's Baby", "Life of
Brian", "The Last Temptation of Christ", and "The Passion of the
Christ".
