  • Say what you will, but it's no coincidence that the Hayes Code ushered in Hollywood's golden age. U.S. cinema slipped from its pinnacle when it abandoned the code and has never returned. See Dr. Ted Baehr's comments for more insight into this topic.

  • @SonicFamilyGal Oui! Revolutiom!

  • i wanted him to never get the chance to get the job in the first place or right the code. ppl storming into his home to torture him and his family.

  • @opelske Well, after learning about this in a Mass Communications course I took in the Fall 2009 semester at my college, I'm starting to think that tolerating and allowing various types of content in film and other forms of media had to go through a so-called "evolutionary process" possibly due to psychological advancements in American societies over time in order to become as permissive as it is today.

  • @BRm2008 Ah...the joys youthful rebellion!

  • A lesser version of the Hays Code still exists today. They call it the MPAA Rating Board.

  • and  the code inforced that movies had to end a way that showed ppl got punished after doing bad stuff even if thats not what was meant to happen in the story.

  • the guy should have been killed right when he was offered the job.,

  • @SpaceCowboy641 Viva la resistance!

  • @SpaceCowboy641 Thank goodness for being born in much later years when tolerance levels were cranked up!
