Ep. 13 - The Legion of Decency - Part 3 - The Last Days

Hollywood Forever Podcast

Hey everyone! We are back with another episode and the finale to our Legion of Decency Trilogy. The last few years of the Legion of Decency and the Production Code in Hollywood have events that shaped many stars' careers. In this part 3, we review the last 2 episodes and focus more closely on 2 key players in the PCA. One is Joseph Breen and the other is Mae West. We talk about both their careers and show them together in this timeline.

In part one of this three-part series, we covered a movement that was sparked due to a Howard Hughes movie. In Part 2 we discuss the repercussions of Howard's fight against the state's censors. We talk about the Catholic Church's influence and what led way to the era of the Breen. (Star Trek reference) You will learn how this influence affected movies that we know and love today like Casablanca.
