The beginning of a real night of fifties Rock’n'Roll with many singers sitting in throughout the evening including Cliff Edmunds (the Avengers), a perfect rendering of ‘Move It’ and ‘Brand New Cadillac’; Pete Stockton ‘Girl Of My Best Friend’; Dave Sampson (the Hunters) sang ‘Love Me’; Danny Rivers, ‘Can’t You Hear My Heart’ plus Ray Lee (Dream Lover) and of course Rockin' Gerry Champion of the 2i’s coffee bar, rocked ‘I Go Ape’.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

Description Whatever the neighbours insisted would be worth keeping a body for, he always responded that he would still prefer to live as data. A young man breaks the news to his family that he is going to transition from an analogue body to a digital existence. A young woman abducts a child Co her own Co from a government-run childcare facility. The citizens of Plainfield, Texas, have had it with the United States. So they decide to secede, rename themselves America in memory of their former country, and set themselves up to receive tourists from their closest neighbour: America. The stories in Matthew Baker's collection portray a world within touching distance of our own. This is an America riven by dilemmas confronting so many of us Co from old age to consumerism, drugs to internet culture Co turned on its head by one of the most darkly innovative and defiantly strange voices of the moment.

Three characters who have been thrown together by the war pursue the man: a land girl, a British soldier and an American GI played by John Sweet, a US Army sergeant serving in the UK at the time of filming.
