Pre-Code Hollywood | Hollywood Before The Hays Code
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- This is the second episode in a series where I discuss censorship in film and TV. Today I talk about the 5 year period between the instatement and the enforcement of the Hays Code. Known as Pre-Code Hollywood, the era consisted of many films that dealt with difficult subject matter as well as comedies full of innuendo.
This is The Quiet Riot where I discuss whatever tickles my fancy. There will be in depth discussions on film, tv, media, and history.

This is such a great video essay. I am studying this era in Hollywood, it's my favorite from "classic Hollywood"
Thank you! I need to do more videos on this era. It’s Hollywoods most interesting period for sure. So much to dive into.
My favorite movies are the ones in the pre-Code era. The difference in quality between pre and post-Code eras is amazing. I understand why they created the Code, but it came at a high price. The world was cheated.
👨🏼🦰 HI IM JIMMY I WAS THERE AND DOES FILMS WAS DUH BOMB I CALLED BETTE DAVIS UP AND SHE GAVE ME A PICTURE OF HER TEE HEE IM JIMMY AND IM I WAS BORN IN 1899 Brooklyn ny
So, oddly enough these films were played on continuous loop on the weekends on local broadcast stations. There was no "censorship" and no "age appropriate" warnings.. This was the 1970's and 80's. PBS actually broadcast the "uncensored" version of Caligula.
Caligula? That’s insane. I’ve never seen the film but I know what it’s about. I’ve heard some things. Can’t imagine coming across it as a kid. I remember my dad telling me how a station forgot to censor the phone number scene in Black Christmas and being shocked.
The lost Convention City in 1933. The sequel still exists, but not as a lot of innuendos.
And hardcore stag films were being produced underground and distributed illegally back then
One has think on how once the Hayes Code was enforced how it effect American society as a whole.
Thank you for commenting! There’s a lot to look into as far as censorship is concerned. I can imagine it had a huge grip on American Society and possibly held it back.
I’m making a video on Pre Code Hollywood! Your channel deserves more views!
That’s awesome. Would love to see it. Thank you for your kind words.

👴🏻🥃 WHAT IS THIS JUNK????
1934
I think the Hays code was a good thing.
While it had its upside, think Casablanca it was unfortunately racist and misogynistic in nature. Among other things.
