Film Classification Changes and Reclassification of Older Films

This chapter explores the evolution of film classification and the reclassification of older films, using examples like 'The Italian Job' and 'The Gospel According to Matthew', which were originally classified as U but later changed to PG due to mild language, sexual innuendos, and portrayal of crime. The discussion also highlights the impact of published classification guidelines and the policy of not reclassifying films unless resubmitted.
