the realistic school. The trouble was, his ideas
wouldn't pass the censors—here or anyplace else!

David Fry was a realist. And also slightly crazy. Maybe that helped in this buggy business but David Fry overdid it. "I want her nude," he screamed. "Naked."
"Impossible," I informed him as calmly as I could.
"Naked," he bellowed.
"The Breen office won't allow it and you know it."
"I defy them. Those radicals! It'll be my most realistic picture. A milestone in film making."
