Title: Freedom of the Screen
Subtitle: Legal Challenges to State Film Censorship, 1915-1981
Description: Freedom of the Screen examines the challenges to governmental film censorship, both state and municipal, in the context of the concurrent censoring of the Hollywood Production Code. While many books have studied Hollywood's self-regulation under the Production Code Administration, Freedom of the Screen is the only book to examine governmental film censor boards (which existed in various locations between 1911 and 1981) and the film distributors who challenged them in court.
