La mayor parte de la investigación realizada para este libro se encuentra en los archivos que figuran en la lista más abajo. El debate sobre la censura y sobre el contenido de las películas generó miles de artículos en los periódicos y las revistas contemporáneos durante los años 30; sería muy poco práctico hacer una lista de incluso una pequeña fracción de los artículos escritos y publicados sobre este tema. Los utilizados de un modo sustantivo aparecen citados en las notas de los capítulos respectivos; esta bibliografía sólo incluye las obras de índole más general que podrían consultar los lectores interesados.
