116. In the MOVIES under the new(ish) Hayes Code in 1939, there were rules about that sort of thing.

In the movies, the women who were not "virtuous" wore clothes that were too tight and too low cut and too flashy with a bit too much makeup. That way you could see 'em coming a mile away! The "rough" men who were not gentlemen didn't take off their hats in front of ladies, smoked without asking permission, and didn't stand up when a lady came in the room.

Also, in the films, there were no "shotgun weddings" in 1939, because there were only pecks on the cheek at the door, with "Paw" looking out the window or flicking the porch light on and off.

There were no adoptions from shamed teen mothers in the 1939 movies (except where the parents "died in a car crash&quot and the first baby never came anytime, while the rest took nine months.

I don't think, though, that gentlemen were always gentlemanly in real life--the movies sanitized everything back then. At least from 1930 to 1968, that is...
