Why Be Good? Sexuality & Censorship - 2008 - 6/10

Hugh Hefner produced documentary about risqué goings on in the Silent era and Pre Code Hollywood.
Slick rehashing of well worn terrain. Sex sells, it always has.
Folks who protested seldom went to movies anyway.
Onscreen and off, misdeeds included Fatty, the murder of William Desmond Taylor, mantraps Clara and Louise.
No mention of Convention City, Chaplin’s escapades, Gary Cooper, Flynn , etc …
