Let's go through the list shall we?
According to the poster, thou shalt not show:
* Law defeated - check
* Inside of thigh - check
* Lace lingerie - check
* Dead man - check
* Narcotics (syringe on table) - check
* Drinking (booze on table) - check
* Gambling (strewn cards on floor) - check
* Pointing gun - check
* Tommy gun - check
*Exposed Bosom - ch... hey, wait a minute. A shoulder strap hanging down over the right shoulder does not count as an exposed bosom. Rip-off!
So apparently not even posters mocking the Hays Code could show a nipple or two (and never three until Total Recall). Well, I guess we better explore sex and nudity next, as we wind our way through the Production Code years here at Cinema Styles.
