Censortive subject



This bizarro and grotesque 1968 satire "The Glass Harmonica" was the only animated film banned by Soviet censors, apparently for the recursive reason that they didn't like how the film portrayed censorship, a mainstay of their "union".

And some amusing proofreader's marks, at least as these things go.
