More About This Book

Overview

The 1967 film version of Ulysses was banned in Ireland for 34 years, during which time video copies of Deep Throat were sold on the streets of Dublin. From 1939 to 1945 "Rule Britannia" was cut from a Hitchcock film as well as newsreels. And now, with very nasty stuff indeed on the Internet, what is decent society to do? Rockett (film studies, Trinity College, Dublin) examines the power of film as it was understood by Irish politicians, social commentators, and official censors from the moment the very first reels hit the shores. In the process he examines over 1,500 films and their fates, the organizations and leaders of the censorship effort and their special interests, and the reaction of ordinary filmgoers, who may have wondered what Bogart and Bergman were really up to, considering how much was cut from Casablanca.
