Watch why be good?: sexuality & censorship in early cinema Movies2Watch. Before the G, PG and R ratings system there was the Production Code, and before that there was, well, nothing. This eye-opening documentary examines the rampant sexuality of early Hollywood through movie clips and reminiscences by stars of the era.

Diane Lane narrates.
