This new book, published in the BBFC's centenary year, traces the fascinating history of film classification, censorship and controversy in Britain, and marks an unparalleled collaboration between the BBFC and leading film critics, historians and cultural commentators. The book also features unique case studies, written by BBFC staff, focusing on significant films that have provoked debate and controversy both within the BBFC and more widely - Battleship Potemkin, The Snake Pit, A Clockwork Orange, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and many more." - taken from back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781844574766Contents: Introduction: A Centennary Book -- 1.Censorship Under Siege: The BBFC in the Silent Era / Simon Brown -- Case Study: Battleship Potemkin (1925) / Aidan McDowell -- 2.`The People's Amusement': Cinemagoing and the BBFC, 1928-48 / Robert James -- Case Study: Island of Lost Souls (1932) / Karen Myers -- 3.From the Snake Pit to the Garden of Eden: A Time of Temptation for the Board / Steve Chibnall -- Case Study: The Snake Pit (1948) / David Hyman -- Case Study: Caged (1950) / Jason Green -- 4.The Trevelyan Years: British Censorship and 1960s Cinema / Tracy Hargreaves -- Case Study: Cape Fear (1962) / David Hyman -- Case Study: Blowup (1966) / Edward Lamberti -- 5.Wake of the Flood: Key Issues in UK Censorship, 1970-5 / Stevie Simkin -- Case Study: The Panic In Needle Park (1971) / Murray Perkins -- Case Study: WR - Misterije Organizma (WR - Mysteries of the Organism, 1971) / Craig Lapper -- Case Study: A Clockwork Orange (1971) / Karen Myers -- 6.The `Poacher Turned Gamekeeper': James Ferman and the Increasing Intervention of the Law / Alex Sinclair -- Case Study: Shivers (1975) / David Hyman -- Case Study: Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum, 1979) / Craig Lapper -- Case Study: Christiane F. - Wir Kinder Vom Bahnhof Zoo (Christiane F.-We Children From Zoo Station, 1981) / Craig Lapper -- 7.More Than Just a `Nasty' Decade: Classifying the Popular in the 1980s / Sian Barber -- Case Study: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) / Edward Lamberti -- Case Study: Licence to Kill (1989) / Edward Lamberti -- 8.Head-On Collisions: The BBFC in the 1990s / Julian Petley -- Case Study: International Guerillas (1990) / Jason Green -- Case Study: Mikey (1992) / Jason Green -- 9.`The Last Days of the Board' / Robin Duval -- Case Study: Ichi the Killer (2001) / Murray Perkins -- Case Study: Lilo & Stitch (2002) / Jason Green -- 10.The Director's Commentary / David Cooke -- Case Study: 9 Songs (2004) / Caitlin O'Brien -- Case Study: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) / Karen Myers -- 11.On the BBFC in the Digital Age -- Censorship and Classification in the Free Society / Gerard Lemos -- Reflections on the 1979 Williams Report / Geoffrey Hawthorn -- Future Technologies and How They Might Impact on Film Classification and Censorship / John Carr -- A Margin of Appreciation / Stephen Sedley -- How the World Has Changed for Children and Parents, 1912-2012 / Ann Phoenix.
