I just finished the bio of Joe Breen which is a history of the Hayes and Breen
era of censorship in Hollywood from 1934 to the mid-1960s. It's one of the
most fascinating books I've ever read!! Little did I realize as a 1950s teen,
fascinated in the Catholic school library reading about forbidden movies, that
it was representatives of what was then "my" church that controlled Hollywood
censorship for 30 years!! The production code was written by a Jesuit-- Fr.
Daniel A Lord, S.J. Please let no one be offended when I point out (as I
learned in this book) that the Irish-Catholic point of view prevailed in most
Hollywood films for over a quarter of a century.
Read it and be amazed!! Fascinating stuff.
