China cancels release of 'Memoirs of a Geisha'
The Chinese government has canceled the release of &to=http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/90/361/16772_film.html' target=_blank>"Memoirs of a Geisha" _ a decision made amid speculation that officials are worried the sight of Chinese actresses playing Japanese geishas would stir a backlash.
The film originally was cleared for distribution on Feb. 9, but the State Administration of Radio, Film and TV reversed itself over the weekend, a U.S. film industry official said Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release that information.
