Funny thing, I remember seeing the film on HBO while I was living in Oklahoma!

For a brief time back in 1979 or 1980 the movie was shown on HBO until it was quickly pulled due to the suggestive nature of it's content; I thought the movie was excellent, but it was controversial over here from the get-go. OTOH, even suggesting that The Tin Drum ventures into the realm of kiddy porn is a real stretch (i.e., for anyone but the most ardent uptight holy-rollers) since the chrarcter of the little boy continues to mature mentally in spite of the fact that his physical appearance is stunted in response to the horror of growing up Nazi Germany.
