Fast success in Hollywood brings a cavalier party lifestyle, which led to shocking scandals such as Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle's trial and subsequent acquittal for manslaughter. To tone down the image of Hollywood and curtail films with footage unsuitable to all audiences, Will H. Hays is appointed and introduces Hollywood's self regulated Production Code, which would be enforced well into the 1960s, while filmmakers still found creative ways to present 'adult' situations. Interviews include King Vidor and Gloria Swanson.

These videos are really historical treasures from those who lived them, always reinforcing that times change but people don't. Thank you!

[@suzannequinson8439]

It makes me so angry how they did that to Arbuckle. To ruin a man's name without cause is a horrible sin.

[@VickieannOglesby]

Those who ruined Arbuckle would pay for what they did

Miss rappe should not have been drinking knowing she was sick

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

In his autobiography, Buster Keaton said the scandal against his friend was utterly "baseless".

[@paulakpacente]

Arbuckle was framed and ultimately acquitted, but his career was ruined forever. What a shame.

[@tracypattin3746]

Arbuckle was acquitted but it was too late for his career. Tragic.

[@CEngelbrecht]

But politically expedient. Like Kevin Spacey now.

[@bostonblackie9503]

Rascoe was not enormously fat, plus he wore clothes too small to make him look fatter. It is generally agreed nowadays he was innocent after being tried three times and apologised to by the judge, Hearst and his Scandal Sheets ruined his career and life. Those in the industry were behind Fatty.

[@Elvisultimatefanchannel]

Roscoe became too successful and had to be brought down. Thats what happened It happened then and it still happens today. If ,for whatever reason, its thought you are too successful there are members of society that will finish you. Roscoe Arbuckle was completely innocent but the censors cancelled his movies,used him as a scapegoat and his career was finished.Yet he did nothing wrong

[@colincampbell7027]

I read somewhere that Oliver Hardy, Bing Crosby and others would go on fishing trips to Canada and drive back with the cars filled with liquor.

If you get the chance check out Colleen Moores dolls house. I used to love to check out her book from the library. It’s on display at the Chicago museum of science of industry. I loved old Hollywood. I guess many coming from Poverty really Enjoyed their wealth, created A lot of jobs with their ostentatious life of luxury and really seemed to enjoy theirs fans.

They've always been phonies since the old days although very talented ones

[@inkyguy]

That’s what acting is. It is adult make believe with a social purpose. It’s no different or any more or less pure than any from any other area of life. You’re issue isn’t really with “Hollywood” or the entertainment history; it’s with human beings.

[@johnking-wm1oz]

The powers that be tried their hardest to cover it up, but they couldn't quite pull it off... great series though.

[@prabhakarv4193]

Very nice

[@georgerodriquez7744]

I love to see program like this.ypu get to see the real making of Hollywood from dustfrom nothing and its what its called the movies.

[@pjb98422]

Apologies if this has been covered already but who is the actress with the head scarf sitting on the chair at 1:15 +/1 please?

Clara Bow.

YankeeFan091472 Thanks. Wow, what a history.

Fabulous series but.....Where is Episode 7 ? Cannot find anywhere. What IS episode 7 and why is it not available?

[@taralang8854]

Does fatty arbuckle have a star on the walk of fame? I just wondering if they have done anything to recognize him again.

[@marcdelente2456]

Après avoir acquitté fatty pris un pseudonyme et malgré ces efforts ne retrouvera jamai le succè. Et décédera quelque temps après. Pourtant Buster Keaton sont ami a fait un témoignage très loyale sur l homme qu' était Fatty.

[@agerard6297]

24:53 anyone know the musical piece Davis used for THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Clip?

[@zieten9983]

It's a part from the "Polovtsian Dances" (the dance of the Polovtsian warriors) from Russian composer Alexander Borodin's opera "Prince Igor"

[@agerard6297]

Thank you very much.

[@Terry-te1ij]

Do know about the music used in the other episodes of "Hollywwod?" To wit, the one on Clara Bow.

[@stephenoconnor9904]

We all know that Everyone is Entitled to his, or her opinion about the Fatty Arbuckle case, but in my own personal opinion, he was, as was every one should already know, purely baseless.

Ewww. Colleen is way above that.

*Kevin Spacey, anyone?*

[@clydecessna737]

People laugh, even condemn Will H. Hays but there is one good thing he did do: He stopped in its tracks the making of nakedly racist films.

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

But I can't understand the Production Code, not approving the movie "The Moon is Blue"? I read the entire script of the Broadway play its based on, and its squeaky clean; (that's my opinion). I'll even let a 5 year old see it (they'll be bored by it, though).

[@inkyguy]

I didn’t know that. Thanks for that piece of information.

[@bostonblackie9503]

@@bobbyfrancis8957 In those days you couldn't say the word virgin, or talk about sex. The movie is boring. Wasn't shown on TV for about twenty years.

[@awsome1605]

Is there any information regarding this, to the best of my knowledge the Hays Code was very explicit in forbidding any insinuation of interracial relationships. Imitation of Life (1934) was rejected numerous times by Hays Code censor Jospeh Breen on the basis of the mixed race protagonist. I can find no information regarding the Hays Code's objection to racist films, if there is I'd love to know.
