Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article focuses on the activities of the BBFC in the 1970s and uses archival research to explore how popular films fared during a decade of shifting permission and increasing levels of sex and violence on the screen. By focusing on less well-known examples this work directs attention to a broader range of texts than those previously used to explore cenorship in this decade.
