March 6 movie: Thou Shalt Not: Sex, Sin and Censorship in Pre-Code Hollywood. This was an interesting documentary about the Hayes Code. They shows lots of clips from pre-code movies. Most of which I had seen already, but a few I hadn't. More interesting to me was the history of the code: who was Hayes, who actually wrote the code, why wasn't it enforced at first, and then why did they start enforcing it.
