...wrestled with but did not solve. As pornography has proliferated in ever-ranker forms, an increasing number of people are demanding a return to some kind of censorship. Nowhere have they made this demand more insistently than in Warren's home state of California, where Sunset Strip in Hollywood flaunts all sorts of sex shows, with total nudity advertised on every block to the point of total boredom, and factory-like publishing firms flooding the rest of the country with glossy porno magazines and books. In a whirlwind campaign of only 17 days, sponsors of an antismut initiative gathered...
...heart attack; in New York. A vivacious talker with a honeyed Georgia drawl off-camera, Hopkins on-screen cast shrewd eyes on her leading men.

She heightened her stardom with the title role in Hollywood's first full-length Technicolor feature, Becky Sharp (1935), and the controversial These Three (1936).

One is forced to agree with Griffin when...
...matter how poor black movies are, they are probably no worse than 75 per cent of the trash Hollywood has continually turned out for the white market. In recent years there has been a steady deterioration in the quality of American films marked by the swift move to exploit new markets soon after they are discovered. After the success of Easy Rider, we were forced to endure countless poor imitations produced in an attempt to drain the maximum amount of dollars out of a new consumer group...
