Excerpt from The Censor and the Theatres One of the cheapest volumes ever offered the public by a British Government is the Report from the Joint Select Committee of the House of Lords and the House of Commons on the Stage Plays (Censorship), together with the Proceedings of the Committee, Minutes of Evidence, and Appendices, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed 2nd November 1909. This is far from being so barbarous a document as the title suggests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Censured Play: The Breaking Point, With Preface and a Letter to the Censor There is no money in 'the Breaking Point for a run, because the general public sets its face stubbornly against sad plays. And yours is more than sad - it is tragic. I should be proud to be the first to introduce your dramatic work to the public or to that section of the public which is alive to what the theatre might be. And Mr Harrison adds that his wish is to produce plays that will take us out of the dull, dreary round of conventionality.

Throughout his career, Alfred Hitchcock had to contend with a wide variety of censors attuned to the slightest suggestion of sexual innuendo, undue violence, toilet humor, religious disrespect, and all forms of indecency, real or imagined. From 1934 to 1968, the Motion Picture Production Code Office controlled the content and final cut on all films made and distributed in the United States. During their review of Hitchcock's films, the censors demanded an average of 22.5 changes, ranging from the mundane to the mind-boggling, on each of his American films. In his award-winning Hitchcock and the Censors, author John Billheimer traces the forces that led to the Production Code and describes Hitchcock's interactions with code officials on a film-by-film basis as he fought to protect his creations, bargaining with code reviewers and sidestepping censorship to produce a lifetime of memorable films. Despite the often-arbitrary decisions of the code board, Hitchcock still managed to push the boundaries of sex and violence permitted in films by charming—and occasionally tricking—the censors, and by swapping off bits of dialogue, plot points, and individual shots (some of which had been deliberately inserted as trading chips) to protect cherished scenes and images. By examining Hitchcock's priorities in dealing with the censors, this work highlights the director's theories of suspense as well as his magician-like touch when negotiating with code officials.
