I saw Suspiria (doubled with Ryan O'Neal's The Driver) on a reissue in late 1981. Brilliant double bill. Also caught The Evil Dead (cut alas, though not yet massacred) on the flicks the following...

The 70's and 80's were truly great times for cinema double bills. I remember them with affection.
Basically yes. His memoirs (What The Censor Saw), though limited in cuts details, are quite...

I first saw The Exorcist on pre-cert video in 1981, though I did catch it on the cinema about a year later at a Sunday late night showing.
No other viewing of the film ever made such an impact as...

It's great fun and a real howl. Surprisingly sleazy for its time too. I enjoyed it far more than Empire Of The Ants (another BBFC problem film).
It features a new breed of arachnid. The Hairy...

Anyone a fan of Eight Legged Freaks? Censorshipwise it was rated higher than Arachnophobia.
The Giant Spider Invasion was heavily cut for an 'A' though now uncut for DVD as a 15.

I'd love to see the Ferman print of Salo. Apparently cut by 6 mins though it would be interesting to see just what was removed. The coprophagia, gay sex, and climactic torture scenes were among the...

He rejected it for cinema but felt it was too important a film to discard or cut, and instead suggested it was shown at licensed film clubs (as Trevelyan did with Flesh). As with the latter the...

It's astonishing to think that Ferman passed In The Realm Of The Senses uncut (bar for the bathroom edit) for cinema back in 1991. Especially given the hardcore scenes involved. Incidentally quite a...

It's a scene in a bathroom where Sada (the nymphoid, and somewhat psychotic, maid) yanks the young boy's penis after he starts running round the room misbehaving. The UK release reframes the scene by...

My own personal views on censorship aren't exactly in line with the BBFC but I understand what they do and mostly why they do it. The old days of censorship (the Trevelyan/Murphy/Ferman years)...
