MARK A. VIEIRA -- author talk & booksigning
Saturday, October 9, 7 pm

Film historian Mark A. Vieira's lavish pictorial, "Sin in Soft Focus,"
showcases a scintillating era in movie history - "pre-code Hollywood" -
when defiant filmmakers flouted the restrictions of censors who tried to
ban everything from profanity and excessive violence to racial mingling
and "lustful kissing." The publication of this first-of-it's kind book
coincides with exhibits in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York.
Vieira's earlier books include the much praised "Hurrell's Hollywood
Portraits."
