Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Alfred Hitchcock navigated a complex landscape of censorship throughout his filmmaking career, facing strict scrutiny from the Motion Picture Production Code Office between 1934 and 1968. This organization monitored and controlled film content, targeting sexual innuendo, violence, and even mild language. Censors eliminated "excessively lustful" scenes and mandated that criminals face consequences, reflecting societal norms and sensitivities of the time. The book explores the challenges Hitchcock encountered while pushing creative boundaries within these restrictive guidelines.
