Description:

The Motion Picture Production Code (MPPC), (also known as the Hays Code) was established in 1930 to regulate what was deemed as appropriate to represent within the medium of film.

The MPPDA had set up its rules of “Don’ts” and “Be Carefuls” in 1927, a set of guidelines that, among other things, said movies could not include “Pointed profanity,” “Miscegenation” (that’s relations between races), “Ridicule of the clergy,” and “Willful offense to any nation, race or creed.”
