SOLVED. Book about Film Censorship, the Hays Code, and the MPAA. [s]

[Trejon]

I read this book when I was maybe 12, so about 8 years ago. It's a book about the history of film censorship, it talks extensively about the Hays Code, the MPAA, the beginnings of the X Rating.

I know for a fact that they talk about the following films: Ecstasy (1933), Mom and Dad (a 1950's exploitation movie), Henry and June (1990)

They also talk about a movie where a woman is sexuall assaulted with an ear of corn? And in the pictures inset, there's a still of Wild Sargasso Sea.

I've been looking for this book and I can't remember anything but those couple of snippets.

Forbidden Films: Censorship Histories of 125 Motion Pictures by Dawn B. Sova?
Freedom of the Screen: Legal Challenges to State Film Censorship, 1915-1981 by Laura Wittern-keller (2008) seems to new?

Trejon, did you check out Kris's suggestions, and did either one seem right to you?

I actually found it a few months ago! It's "Censored Hollywood" by Frank Miller!

Trejon, thanks for the update. Here's the link - Censored Hollywood: Sex, Sin, and Violence on Screen by Frank Miller.
