On July 1st, 1934, the PCA began rigorously enforcing the Hays Code, and a period of moralistic governance and censorship in the motion picture industry commenced. It was the Great Depression, also a period of economic hardship. America wouldn’t enter World War II until the end of 1941. The people wanted entertainment… a distraction from the realities of life.

And despite having to wear a code-adorned straitjacket, Hollywood delivered… producing some of the most epic, memorable, cherished, and enduring films ever made.

Take a journey with former Sentinel Ridge Pictures producer and studio head M.G. Kenilworth and explore twenty-four of these groundbreaking and influential pictures from this era. Facts, insights, trivia, behind the scenes moments… and a few surprises as well. Show business… there ain’t no business like it!
