I watching the movie This Film Is Not Yet Rated and they said in the movie that the Hays Code was started because of the Fattie Arbuckle manslaughter scandal. Side note, why hasn't Hollywood made a movie about that yet!?
Anyway, I did research on it later, and I just don't get how a movie production code like that would come about from a manslaughter scandal. That would be like OJ Simpson murder case, leading the American football industry to make football a non-contact sport, cause one of their former players committed a murder. It just makes no logical sense to connect one thing to another like that.
Unless I'm wrong, and this code was not as such of a reach as I'm thinking?
