Pasirodo net visagaliame Holivude buvo savos taisykles ir stipri 
cenzura, o visi sovietai vare ant senio stalino su jo draudimais 
(apeliuoju tik i kinematografija)...

* Nakedness and suggestive dances were prohibited.

* The ridicule of religion was forbidden, and ministers of religion were 
not to be represented as comic characters or villains.

* The depiction of illegal drug use was forbidden, as well as the use of 
liquor, "when not required by the plot or for proper characterization".

* Methods of crime (e.g. safe-cracking, arson, smuggling) were not to be 
explicitly presented.

* References to alleged sex perversion (such as homosexuality) and 
venereal disease were forbidden, as were depictions of childbirth.

* The language section banned various words and phrases that were 
considered to be offensive.

* Murder scenes had to be filmed in a way that would discourage 
imitations in real life, and brutal killings could not be shown in 
detail. "Revenge in modern times" was not to be justified.

* The sanctity of marriage and the home had to be upheld. "Pictures 
shall not imply that low forms of sex relationship are the accepted or 
common thing". Adultery and illicit sex, although recognized as 
sometimes necessary to the plot, could not be explicit or justified and 
were not supposed to be presented as an attractive option.

* Portrayals of miscegenation (inter-racial marriage and procreation) 
were forbidden.

* "Scenes of Passion" were not to be introduced when not essential to 
the plot. "Excessive and lustful kissing" was to be avoided, along with 
any other treatment that might "stimulate the lower and baser element".

* The flag of the United States was to be treated respectfully, and the 
people and history of other nations were to be presented "fairly".

* The treatment of "Vulgarity", defined as "low, disgusting, unpleasant, 
though not necessarily evil, subjects" must be "subject to the dictates 
of good taste". Capital punishment, "third-degree methods", cruelty to 
children, animals, prostitution and surgical operations were to be 
handled with similar sensitivity.
