Summary:
These records were apparently generated by the Motion Picture Division in order to gather background data on the activities
of other censorship boards on questionable films, on court opinions regarding freedom of expression, about various motion
picture associations and unions that advocated freedom from censorship, and other subjects dealing with film censorship. The
files contain records that document the Division's approach to sensitive film topics, such as burlesque, liquor, religion,
sex, communism, crime, narcotics, prostitution, and birth control.
