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-ni       hols-and-american-century       What you really mean is Blow-Up, A Taste of Honey, and other foreign films       that signaled the end of the Hays Code. Keep dreaming that the gutless       Hollywood directors did anything.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
