They may not have an X-rating, but the films in the Wexner Center For the Arts film series “Naughty Hollywood” broke all the rules in the early 1930s.”These movies are pretty entertaining and surprisingly risque,” said David Filipi Associate Curator of film and video at the Wexner Center, “people don’t think the films of that era would be like that.”In the early 1930s, the film industry was not limited in the content of their films. At the insistence of special interest groups, films which included material that was considered explicit was censored. The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America put into effect a strict code which set forth general standards of what they considered to be good taste and specific do’s and don’t’s concerning what could and could not be shown in American movies.The code, which went into effect in the 1930s, indicated that no film could be produced that would tend to lower the standards of those who watch it and the sympathy of the audience should never be thrown to the side of the crime, wrongdoing, evil or sin.The code also specifically forbade showing interracial relationships, excessive and lustful kissing, suggestive postures and gestures, illegal drug traffic and scenes of passion that weren’t essential to the plot, among other things.”Before 1934 the code was pretty much ignored or side-stepped,” said Filipi. When the Catholic Legion of Decency started organizing boycotts and putting pressure on the film industry and the Great Depression began affecting the film industry, the code was enforced. Starting in 1934, films had to be screened for content before they could be shown to the public. The films in the “Naughty Hollywood” series are some of those that side-stepped the code before it was enforced, said Filipi. The series began on Saturday November 1 with “Freaks” and “Blonde Crazy.” The series continues with “Babyface” and “Tarzan and His Mate” on November 5, “Skyscraper Souls” and “Two Seconds” on November 12, “Employees’ Entrance” and “Female” on November 14, and “The Mouthpiece” and “Night Nurse” on November 21.
