Early Hollywood was pretty racy.

Lots of violence and nudity in movies.

So, the Catholic Leagues would produce lists of movies with ratings of each.

Some were safe, that their parishioners shouldn’t see.

Others weren’t safe.

And then some they said if you saw them, you’d go straight to Hell.

Sure enough, people used the lists.

They skipped the safe movies and went to the naughty nasty smut shows.

When the Hayes Production Code arrived, nudity and violence were curtailed and censored everywhere.

And the churches stop publishing the lists.

But people still went to Hell for their earlier transgressions.
