Yep and 'The Production Code' (aka: Hayes Code iirc). At least with 'The Code' in effect all movies were 'family movies'. So despite the private perversions of those involved in any Movie the good guy won, crime didn't pay, religion was respected, families were families, and nobody ran around butt naked. (As I recall there were like Ten Basic Rules in the code that studios had to follow).
When I watch the Maltese Falcon, or a Classic like it, I imagine how it would be made today. I thank God nobody has thought of remaking it -- 'yet'.
