We did actually get some enlightened films shown to us in that era, including one in high school in the fifties about having babies. It showed a live birth and more or less what a woman goes through during pregnancy and child birth. It wasn't trying to scare us either but just explain our biology. I don't know if they showed it to the boys cause I went to an all girls' high school.

We also got the usual other misleading films like reefer madness and the duck and cover in case of a nuclear bomb attack ones. It was a mixed bag.
