Reception
Like many American films of the time, Tad's Swimming Hole was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors cut all closeups of naked boys facing the camera.[1]

gollark: Oh, that's one of mine!
gollark: <@282594912682115074> There's someone with a 3G prize on the hub asking for a 2G prizekin.
gollark: Er, basically, I can do most things not involving viewing dragons in bulk or scroll access.
gollark: Anyone got ideas for useful stuff to put up on YAH, then? Ideally ones not requiring API access.
