Quotes by Mark A. Vieira (?)

“The market was mostly Protestant. The industry was mostly Jewish-run. Yet a Midwest Catholic minority gained control.”
― Mark A. Vieira, Forbidden Hollywood: The Pre-Code Era (1930-1934): When Sin Ruled the Movies

“These are the facts of pre-Code Hollywood. The story behind it is monumental, because it deals with struggle for power. The stakes were high: the billion-dollar market for America's sixth-largest industry. The market was mostly Protestant. The industry was mostly Jewish-run. Yet a Midwest Catholic minority gained control. This is the story of *Forbidden Hollywood.*”
― Mark A. Vieira, Forbidden Hollywood: The Pre-Code Era [1930-1934]: When Sin Ruled the Movies

“In March 1930, representatives of every studio signed the agreement. This “Production Code” should have kept forbidden elements off the screen, but the Great Depression arrived, emptying theaters. To lure patrons back, producers began to violate the agreement”
