In 1974, the FBI, under the direction of the Motion Picture Association, raided the film collections of underground film dealers, collectors, historians, and even well-known actors. Within months, private collections were confiscated or destroyed, and Woody Wise found himself in the crosshairs of the Motion Picture Association of America and the FBI.
