Hollywood V. Hard Core

Angebote / Angebote:

Between 1968 and 1973 Hollywood films were faltering at the box office, and the major studios were in big trouble. Hollywood's principal competition came from a body of independently produced and distributed films like Last Tango in Paris and hard-core pornography like Behind the Green Door. These films were at once disreputable and chic. In response, Hollywood imposed the industry-wide MPAA film rating system that pushed sexually explicit films outside the mainstream, and a series of Supreme Court decisions all but outlawed the theatrical exhibition of hard-core pornographic films. Together, these events allowed Hollywood to extend its iron grip over which films got made and where they were shown, thus saving it from financial ruin.
