Galamian constantly worries that...

Censorship is so repugnant to most moviemakers they would rather have Mondo Freudo shown in a kindergarten than let a censor bowdlerize Ulysses. On the other hand, many parents would sooner burn a theater than let their children watch the crudity visible in all too many "adult films...
