And the fact other countries' film industries were providing things (mostly sex, though they did create portrayals of violence Hollywood wouldn't allow) in their films that Hollywood wasn't allowed to put in was a key point that forced the Hays Code that ruled Hollywood between 1934 and 1966 to self-destruct.
