Steve - I rewatched "Black Narcissus" this weekend [BBC catch up]

A classic of post war British cinema,
which could only be permitted to be viewed in the land of 'freedom of speach' America
after their censors cut it to shreds in order to be more tolerable to American over-sensitivites.

This rendered the near perfectly constructed work of cinematic art
so incoherent it lost most meaning, and was near unwatchable.

The same fate befell many other British film makers, writers, and creatives.


.. not much changed then, since 1947...
