Your ignorance of America is appalling, though not surprising. The moral decency and concomitant story-telling power of the movies produced during Hollywood's Golden Age was the result of Hollywood's self-restraint, not government censorship. This self-restraint was reinforced by a public that did not patronize immoral films, preeminently in the Catholic Church's Legion of Decency.

"Self-restraint" taken as a result of government censorship threats doesn't count. (That's one reason why your form of nanny statism destroys all true morality.)
