MOVIES - Jan. 17, 1991

More on the NC-17 Flap: People for the American Way, the group devoted to protecting constitutional liberties, is not happy about Blockbuster Video’s recent decision to bar NC-17 films in its 1,600 stores nationwide. The group’s president, Arthur J. Kropp, wrote a letter to the CEO Wayne Huizenga of Blockbuster, the nation’s largest video outlet, urging him to reconsider the decision and not bow to the pressure of the American Family Assn. and its family-values leader, the Rev. Donald Wildmon. Wildmon had threatened a boycott of the stores if they stocked NC-17 films.
