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.

@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.
