February 1 and 4: Sin and Censorship in American Film
Between 1934 and 1968, the films Americans saw were strictly scrutinized by

divorce, miscegenation, unpunished crime, criticism of the clergy or foreign
nationalities, and all forms of what was deemed to be sexual immorality. When cultural
styles changed in the 60s, Hollywood tried to keep up.
