Ireland's Last Film Censor
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
It wasn’t that long ago that Irish moviegoers were subjected to a butchered version of the 1967 film 'The Graduate', intended to leave audiences completely unaware of the relationship between Benjamin and mrs. Robinson.
Why was this the case?
Joining Pat to explain this case of chopping scenes, and the history of banning films in Ireland, is John Kelleher, Ireland’s last film censor, to tell us all about his new documentary on the subject.
