17 Old Hollywood Movies That Were Almost Banned For Being Gay
The old Hollywood films had to follow strict guidelines during the 1930s, known as the Hays code. This mainly prevented all American films from displaying anything that was sexual or “inappropriate”, forcing many filmmakers to be creative on how to move in potential censorship. I have runboxd lists of each Old Hollywood and LGBTQ+ The movie I watch, so I took off through them to find a handful of the Hays code, which is skillfully (not skillfully). Here are some favorites. Enjoy!
1.
The rebel for no reason (1955) James Dean Stars bisexual Hottie, so you can’t really order more. The original scenario was his personality kissing Plato, who was one of the first gay teenagers on the screen, but the Hays code quickly crushed it from occurrence. However, this film is excited, trained, romantic, and all actors are very fun to look at.
2.
Everything about Eve (1950) She is a brilliant drama and a toxic drama for an actress aging that befriends a fan that ultimately tries to rape. This film shares the record for most Oscar nominations ever, with 14, and distinguishes for a short period Marilyn Monroe In one of its first roles at all. There are a lot of strange tones and characters, all of which are very delicious. Also, I personally think that this is the best movie that has been produced ever, so I begs you mainly to watch it.
3.
Killing (1961) It was made at the end of the Hays icon and a kind of the limits of what is permitted. You will see why a great development is detected in this horror, so I will not spoil anything for you now. Just know that this film was so frightening that it literally included a “45 -second fear break” that appeared on the screen before its climax, which told the viewers that they could request a full recovery from the movie theater if they were very afraid to finish watching.
4.
Tea and sympathy (1956) The teenager of the preparatory school “sensitive” is subject to intimidation by students and other teachers. He finds consolation in an older woman, played by Deborah Kiir, and the whole thing is very beautiful to look at it.
5.
coercion (1959) Two hot, wealthy, and strange university children who commit a murder and believe they are very smart so that they cannot be away from. It depends on a loose trial on the trial of Leopold and LOEB, so only trust me in this trial.
6.
pregnancy (1948) is Alfred Hitchcock Air Conditioning to play that was also inspired by the trial of Leopold and Louba. This focuses on two young (strange) murderers who host a dinner after hiding the body in their apartment. The film was filmed to look like it was filmed in one, which increases suspense and helps to preserve the characters (and viewers) on the edge of the abyss.
7.
The edge of the city (1957) is a severe drama about friendship between John Casavits and Sydney Better’s characters. It is harsh and difficult and has a text from the sub -text. Ruby Dee is also in this movie, and it is especially great.
8.
Children’s watch (1961) Audrey Hepburn and Shirley McLean Stars as a woman who broke an internal school for girls in the 1930s in New England. One of the students is rioters who start rumors that they are in a lesbian relationship, and all hell collapses. The film relies on the famous Lillian Hilman play of the same name, which is a must.
9.
Purple (1960) It was already adapted from the book Gifted Mr. Ribli. This French film is just very hot, and if you are in amazing dramas or even liked the 1999 release dimension with Jude Lu and Damedon, you completely need to check it.
10.
Strangers on the train (1951) is a psychological excitement of Alfred Hitchcock. It comes to strangers who want to kill someone, so they exchange victims to prevent anyone from suspicion. It is a very fun watch, and so that it will take your breath.
11.
Suddenly, last summer (1959) Astrate around a rich widow who tries to get her sister’s daughter to cover up the truth about her strange son (and now the deceased). This is the one there, but Catherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor got the best Oscar nominations for their roles, so there is that.
12.
Height obstacles (1953) is about two male friends who are eaten mainly after taking an obstacle on their way to the hunting journey. The film depends on the 1950 -Billy Cook killing, examining gay, masculinity and traditional gender roles.
13.
Server (1963) Deals with unannounced desires, homogeneous tensions, and dynamic DOM-ultimately. In this, the young wealthy young people rent a man to be his servant. The server is slowly controlled and treats “his master”, which is the WildDDD journey.
14.
victim (1961) It is concentrated around a lawyer in London, and a blackmail for being gay, who was illegal in England until 1967. This is a pioneering piece in the history of the movie because it was the first British movie that expresses homosexuality explicitly, and it must be required for everyone.
15.
Provide advice and approval (1962) It is a political drama adapted from a prize -named Politzer book. Approval of the assertion of a candidate for the Foreign Minister, who coincides with being a married American Senator who has been blackmailed due to secret relations with a man.
16.
Dubbed (1963) is a revolutionary horror film that shows one of the only lesbian characters in its time to be feminine, not a predator. The film depends on the book Hill HouseAnd that eventually turned into the Netflix series is very common, so if you like either of them, you should watch this too.
17.
finally, Rebecca (1940) is the only movie Alfred Hitchcock that wins the Best Photo Award at the Academy Awards. It features one of the most famous characters ~ encrypted by ancient Hollywood: Mrs. Danfars. Throughout the movie, her obsession with Rebecca becomes more prevalent, although it should have been implicit through the Hays icon, it should be implicit instead of mentioning it completely.
