Résumé
In 1968, Hollywood adopted a new ratings system that replaced the 1930 Production Code based on prior censorship. Vaughn (history of communications, U. of Wisconsin--Madison) describes industry and government efforts to regulate and control movie content in the wake of… that sea change. He first describes the institution of the new system and the reaction of moviemakers. Ratings and other controversies surrounding sex, profanity, violence, drugs, and religion in the movies are then discussed. A number of chapters explore the evolution of the X rating, its association with pornography, the antipornography crusades of Reagan administration Attorney General Meese and others, and the recent institution of the NC-17 rating. One chapter considers similar issues for television. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
