By: Will H. Hays [Raymond Moley]

Price: $150.00

Publisher: Indianapolis, The Bobbs-Merrill Company: 1945

Seller ID: 14bn

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Very Good

Hays set up a strict movie production code that saved Hollywood from government censorship by imposing limits on acceptable screen behavior; it became the basis for an early industry movie rating system.
