§ 86. Mr. Bennasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies for what reason the film "Iron Mistress" was considered unfit for African audiences when advertised for showing in Lusaka; and how long notice was given to the proprietor.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe Governor informs me that an African member of the Native Film Censorship Board recommended the banning of this film and was supported by the other members present because it depicted many violent scenes of stabbing with knives. The film arrived in Lusaka from the distributors on 29th May and was censored on 31st May. It was due for showing on 5th June.
