What is Censored! only in Canada : the history of film censorship : the scandal off the screen about?

Quebecs powers over film were described as dictatorial. Children under sixteen were not admitted to cinemas. In Paris film studios, a standing joke emerged. When a spicy scene was completed, someone would shout, Now lets shoot a Canadian version. In December of 1984 the Edison Kinetoscope made its Canadian debut in Toronto, spawning a new form of art and entertainment in Canada the moving picture. By December of 1908 the Toronto City Council was petitioning the Police Commissioners Board to grant no more licences for moving picture shows until the city was granted the power to regulate them. The battle was on. CENSORED! ONLY IN CANADA reveals, for the first time, correspondence and documents from the previously confidential files of Canadas film censors. The result is an intriguing expose of how film censors have determined the destiny of film in Canada. Malcolm Deans fascinating text contrasts the tragedy of censorship with its innate humour. It is the first complete history of film censorship in Canada, and an authoritative source of Canadian film history. CENSORED! ONLY IN CANADA includes stills from many censored films, tables, brief histories of U.S. and British film censorsh
