Alfred Hitchcock and the Censors. Talking with author John Billheimer.
Hitchcock successfully navigated the censors in the UK and US to be the greatest filmmaker of mystery and suspense films of the 20th Century.
Movie Codes were introduced in the UK and the US in the 1920s and 30s. The US model focused on sex and violence while the UK monitored class divisions and other social issues. Alfred Hitchcock successfully navigated both Codes first in the UK where he began his film career and then in the US.
