Description de l'ouvrage :
The new edition of this seminal work takes the story of the Production Code and motion picture censorship into the present, including the creation of the PG-13 and NC-17 ratings in the 1990s.

À propos des auteurs :
Leonard J. Leff, professor of English at Oklahoma State University, is the author of Hitchcock and Selznick. Jerold L. Simmons, professor of history at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, is the author of The Campaign to Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Revue de Presse :
A readable, intimate account of the rise to near-tyrannical power, and the fall to well-deserved ignominy, of the old Production Code Administration. -Atlantic Monthly

A valuable insight into our own innocence and naiveté. -New York Times Book Review

The triumph of Leff and Simmons's fine work is that they have reminded us of how fatuous and inimical a code of conduct can be: how tempting it is as a theoretical answer, and how intrinsically flawed it is as a working solution. -Times of London
