Inhaltsangabe

For more than three decades the Catholic church powerfully influenced Hollywood by means of its ratings system. The Catholic Crusade against the Movies examines how the Church acquired such control, and how the changes in the movie industry and American society eventually lead to its demise.

Críticas:

"In this worthy sequel to his Hollywood Censored (1994)...Black chronicles how the Legion of Decency imposed its taste and its fear of serious issues on films worldwide." Choice "Black is particularly helpful in shedding light on the complex issue of filmscript revision....With clarity and insight, Black has traced the influence of Catholic forms of film censorship as reflecting the maturing process within the church since the days of the Second Vatican Council."
