@hollywoodhistory: I firmly believe that Fatty Arbuckle’s party is one of the major events that created America’s current political division as it led to a filmed history that never really existed. 🎞️🥂 #oldhollywood #filmtok #hollywoodhistory #historytok #5MinutePlus
TCM shows some of those pre code films. They are pretty risqué.

notice too, how much more varied and interesting female parts in movies were before the code!

I read Hayes often “bragged” that he and his wife never consummated their marriage. He was a real wierdo fr

I try to explain the Hayes code to people who arent familiar and I end up looking like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist, I'm saving your video to send to people cause you explained it perfectly

One of the best analyses of how people believe these idyllic times existed and “if we could just go back to these times.” Christmas movies are the best examples.

I’d never scene a movie with an older Arbuckle. Incredible. Great stuff

John Stanley has said that fascism invokes a pure mythic past tragically destroyed. And the fact that this approach to filmmaking occurred concurrently with America’s ascent as a superpower both literally and culturally, you start putting a lot of pieces together!

Fun fact: in the UK we used to have restaurants called Fatty Arbuckles and they were similar to TGI Fridays

Great post! I think about that a lot. How a couple studio moguls and their producers (in some cases) dictated moral values and an image of the "ideal" society that echoes through today. Louis B. Meyer on the forefront of it all. That book "Empire of their own" was a life-changer for me in that regard.

I like what you said about films clouding our perception of history; my house was built in 1935 and I was excited to create a time capsule of that period basedon films of the time (including a framed print of FDR!) without all that pesky Depression business! 😁

May is one of my favorite actresses ever. Pre code was fascinating. Post code is also the reason for the film noire boom and why women are portrayed the way they are

You should have an entire documentary on this, this was so well laid out and very informing

I was absolutely influenced by this era in my own moral code. I even did a report in jr high about Fatty Arbuckle back in the day AND I was today years old when I learned about the death of that lovely girl…😳
