Description: The New Censors reveals the many complex ways movies have been shaped in the years since the demise of the Hays Production Code. The author links a study of public outrage against movies to the broader culture wars over "family values," pornography, and various lifestyle issues. This book provides a contemporary history of controversial movies and a timely discussion of how cultural politics continues to affect the movie industry.
