PM Yoshida's "sports, screen and sex"

[eigagogo at free.fr]

Dear all,

While browsing through the informative Abe Sada wikipage, i found a mention
about PM Yoshida Shigeru's "sports, screen and sex" policy:
'... Wishing to divert public attention from politics, and criticism of the
occupying authorities, the Yoshida government openly encouraged a "3-S" policy--
"sports, screen and sex"

As it features words 'screen & sex', i was wondering whether this policy had an
effect on the rise of erotic-themed movies production? By the way, when was this
policy applied  (1949 ..54?), did it interfere with the occupying authorities
own policy (in something similar as the jidai-geki ban)?

I doubt it proved to be of any significant importance movie-wise .. but maybe
some interesting historical facts can emerge?




Regards,

Martin
