...Cinema has not been forced to cancel any film showing because of industry pressure (or "crackdown" as you so dramatically phrase it).

"In the past two months two distributors have broken relations with us," he continued. "Ivy was also forced to cancel the showing of "Kind Hearts and Coronets" some time ago," said Charles Kadison '55, president of Ivy Films. The reason he gave for cancellation was similar to Krauss...
