@Demondragonkinggav4 жыл бұрын
@@Kate-fi8oh (it means this film was made before this code was put into play in Hollywood) The Motion Picture Production Code was the set of industry moral guidelines for the self-censorship of content that was applied to most United States motion pictures released by major studios from 1934 to 1968. It is also popularly known as the Hays Code, after Will H. Hays, who was the president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) from 1922 to 1945. Under Hays' leadership, the MPPDA, later known as the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), adopted the Production Code in 1930 and began rigidly enforcing it in mid-1934. The Production Code spelled out what was acceptable and what was unacceptable content for motion pictures produced for a public audience in the United States. From 1934 to 1954, the code was closely identified with Joseph Breen, the administrator appointed by Hays to enforce the code in Hollywood. The film industry followed the guidelines set by the code well into the late 1950s, but during this time, the code began to weaken due to the combined impact of television, influence from foreign films, controversial directors (such as Otto Preminger) pushing boundaries, and intervention from the courts, including the Supreme Court.[1][2] In 1968, after several years of minimal enforcement, the Production Code was replaced by the MPAA film rating system.

Did Charlie flip Gorman off at the end there? Well, it IS Pre-Code. Not a bad little flick, but a bit on the absurd side. Regan's thug pulls his gun on the mayor in his office? That's a pretty dumb move. How has Regan stayed out of prison this long? And then he does it again in the hallway! I understand the writer needed a way to frame Butler for murder, but it's done very clumsily. There wouldn't have been any powder burns on Butler's hands, so it would be obvious that he didn't fire the gun. And presumably, the bullet fired by the thug's gun would have embedded itself in the wall, so the cops could easily determine that was the bullet fired by the thug's gun, which means Butler couldn't have shot Regan, since the bullet that killed him didn't go through his body. And apparently, this major metropolitan city has only one coroner, so nobody else can examine Regan's body and determine that there was no bullet in it and that the bullet hadn't been removed. The courtroom scenes are shot in an interesting way, though, with completely black backgrounds, giving them an ominous, surrealistic look.
