1947. Stamped on the back of this photo is ‘APPROVED / ADVERTISING COUNCIL / SEP 24 1947 / HOLLYWOOD’ and ‘RETOUCH AS INDICATED’. The indications are touched over Hazel’s décolletage. This is enforcement of the Hays Code, which spelled out what was acceptable and what was unacceptable content for movies produced for a public audience in the US. Photo by Bud Graybill.
