Aanndd: HBO Max “temporarily”
removes Gone With The Wind from its
library.
From gunfreezone: “Beginning with wholesale changes made to
Universal’s 1930 release All Quiet on the Western Front, Hollywood
regularly ran scripts and finished movies by German officials for approval.
When they objected to scenes or dialogue they thought made Germany look bad,
criticized the Nazis or dwelled on the mistreatment of Jews, the studios would
accommodate them — and make cuts in the American versions as well as those
shown elsewhere in the world.”
(Hollywood studios “regularly” gave
scripts and finished movies to German officials for approval. Yep. The same
people who yell “Censorship!” at the slightest trace of disapproval, in the
1930s let German officials mandate cuts in films. We all know which party those
German officials belonged to.)
