The advent of moving pictures ignites the human imagination about human sexuality. While audiences gape, censors condemn the "evils" of sex on the screen. Hollywood becomes synonymous with sin, scandal, sex, and the silver screen.
In April 1894 Thomas Edison presents the "moving picture." Movie makers note early on that sex was a missing ingredient in movies. "Peep shows" offered sexy movies for individuals who wanted a sense of privacy.
Church and civic leaders are concerned over the rise in popularity of moving pictures. Too many films offend the sensibilities of the "guardians of public decency." Archival film footage shows some of the "risque" topics of early films.
Sex symbol Theda Bara first appears in 1915 in "A Fool There Was," a film about a chaste older gentlemen who falls victim to an irresistible vamp. She is the public's first real taste of blatant, feminine sexuality. In 4 years, she makes 40 films.
By 1915, the movies have moved West to California. Over the next 10 years, Hollywood becomes synonymous motion picture production--and decadence. The Supreme Court rules that motion pictures are not protected by the Constitution.
Pioneer film director D.W. Griffith was among the first to publicly protest the rising tide of censorship. He elaborates his feelings in his film "Intolerance," a film about love that included nudity and sex, but was a commercial failure.
Hollywood becomes a fantasy kingdom, one that celebrated a new breed of royalty, movie stars. Luxury industries catered to the burgeoning film industry and its stars. The dark side includes drug addicts, suicide, and orgies, until a tragedy brings the party to an end.
The Fatty Arbuckle scandal gives rise to a nationwide call for reform of Hollywood and movie stars. Congress denounces the film industry as a "hot bed of drunkenness, ribaldry, and free love." The film industry wants to police itself.
In 1930, Will Hays authors the Production Code, a detailed description of what was morally acceptable on the screen. The Law of Compensating Values dictates that if and when skin is shown in films, the character is ultimately punished.
With his appearance in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," Valentino becomes a living legend, the male version of the vamp. Archival film footage shows the actor as a lover, abuser, and dancer--the only actor in film whose persona is exclusively sexual.
Hollywood’s history is, in a sense, a narrative of the battle between artistic freedom and heavy-handed restriction. This four-part series conveys that narrative through a progression of archival film clips spanning the bulk of motion picture history.
