Segregation Spread?
(Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) SYDNEY, May 5. Australia might follow New Zealand’s example and allow the controversial film of James Joyce's novel, “Ulysses,” to be shown to separate male and female audiences. The film has been banned as “indecent and obscene” by the Australian Film Censorship Board. A spokesman for the distributors, British Empire Films Limited, said in Sydney today that the company was continuing its efforts to have the film screened in Australia. The company’s sales manager, Mr F. J. Crouch, told the N.Z.P.A.: “We have been favourably impressed with the New Zealand Censor’s solution to this problem. “It’s a most unusual idea, and we are most interested in his approach, particularly as the censor has passed the film uncut. “We were very surprised that this idea should have come from New Zealand, as we have always felt that censorship in New Zealand was not as advanced as it is here.”
