"Lately I've been watching lots of pre-code Hollywood films, i.e., the brief period (roughly 1929 to 1934) when movies were a little more adult, racy, politically provocative...before the Hayes code kicked in and everything had to conform to a wholesome, decent, white bread standard."
"From a U.S. standpoint, we've moved past the Hayes Code etc. into an oversaturation of sexuality in popular media, but it seems to only serve the purpose of being sexy for itself."
