It did so with a handful of other pictures released in 1967,       including Point Blank (John        Boorman) and Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn). These character-driven, European       influenced features included violence and sexuality, and, most significantly,       moral ambiguity. Films with these elements would not have been able to find       distribution in        mainstream theaters just a few years prior. The very subject matter of The       Graduate would have been deemed “un-filmable” by the PCA. Indeed, the       possibilities of U.S. cinema were transformed by the commercial success of       films such as Virginia Woolf        and The Graduate.              http://bostonreview.net/arts-society/jonathan-kirshner-mike-nich       ls-and-american-century              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
