Résumé :
Cultural historian Thomas Doherty recounts the untold tale of the man who dictated final cut over more movies than anyone in the history of American cinema. Empowered by industry insiders and millions of like-minded Catholics, Joseph I. Breen oversaw 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-the-scenes portrait brings a tumultuous era--and an individual both feared and admired-to vivid life.

Critique:
Doherty writes with such wit and verve, bringing the past to life... a very entertaining read. Publishers Weekly 9/24/07 Compelling, colorful, insightful, and nearly encyclopedic in detail, this book seems destined to become the definitive scholarly biography of Breen. Highly recommended. Library Journal 10/15/07 [An] entertaining and rigorous biography of Breen. -- Ada Calhoun New York Times Book Review 12/2/2007 A fascinating read for anyone interested in American film history. -- Carol O'Sullivan Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 11/25/07 [An] authoritative, entertaining, unexpectedly unnerving biography. -- Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times 12/6/07 [A] brilliant and absorbing new book. -- Gerald Peary The Phoenix 12/5/07 Hollywood's Censor is a stinging portrait of a cultural strongman who made it his business to baby his fellow citizens. -- Dennis Drabelle Washington Post 12/12/07 Written with controlled exuberance, and much wit. -- Scott Eyman Palm Beach Post 1/20/08 A pleasure to read. -- Rob Hardy Commercial Dispatch 1/23/08 An exemplary biography... Highly recommended. CHOICE 5/1/08
