LONDON. Dec. 17.-Movies with
a "basically sadistic theme" are
to be banned outright in Britain
under a ruling of the Board of
Films announced today.
"Sadism-rather than sex-has
been the biggest headache of
1949," said A. T. L. Watkins,
secretary of the board.
1--WE are convinced that the
average member of the public is
becoming increasingly disguised
at the sight of pulverized flesh. "
Mr.. Watkins said the board has
sent an ultimatum to American,
European and British film makers
because a first warning 18 months
ago met with insufficient response
The censors have been trying
to cope with make-believe bru-
tality by cutting scenes they re-
gard as Objectionable. Now,r said
Mr.. Watkins, they will throw out
the whole movie.
