DESCRIPTION

Breen, a media-savvy Victorian Irishman, reigned over the Production Code Administration, the
Hollywood office tasked with censoring the American screen. Though little known outside the
ranks of the studio system, this former journalist and public relations agent was one of the most
powerful men in the motion picture industry. As enforcer of the puritanical Production Code, Breen
dictated "finl cut"over more movies than anyone in the history of American cinema. His
editorial decisions profoundly influenced the images and values projected by Hollywood during the
Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. Cultural historian Thomas Doherty tells the
absorbing story of Breen's ascent to power and the widespread effects of his reign. Breen vetted
story lines, blue-penciled dialogue, and excised footage (a process that came to be known as
"Brening" to fit the demands of his strict moral framework. Empowered by industry
insiders and millions of like-minded Catholics who supported his missionary zeal, Breen strove to
protect innocent souls from the temptations beckoning from the motion picture screen. There were
few elements of cinematic production beyond Breen's reach—heoversaw the editing of A-list
feature films, low-budget B movies, short subjects, previews of coming attractions, and even
cartoons. Populated by a colorful cast of characters, including Catholic priests, Jewish moguls,
visionary auteurs, hardnosed journalists, and bluenose agitators, Doherty's insightful, behind-thescenes
portrait brings a tumultuous era—an an individual both feared and
admired—tovivid life.
