HOLLYWOOD BABYLON is one of two new documentaries about the untold history of Hollywood, world premiering at the festival as a double bill ... More About Hollywood Babylon -- In the wild 1920s, Hollywood produced up to 700 films per year, showing adultery, homosexuality, abortion, and corruption without restraint. In response, puritan America fought back against these “dirty films.” In 1934, the Hays Code—a code of good conduct under lawyer William Hays—was introduced. But Hollywood, with its rebellious spirit, continued to dodge censorship with wit and talent.
