There has been a long history of films being banned in the United States dating back to 1915, but some of these films were banned for strange reasons.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There are plenty of movies that have been banned across the world, usually because of one or more elements within them that are deemed offensive, but there are some cases in the United States where movies were banned for surprising, and sometimes even silly, reasons. From 1934 to 1968, films released by major studios in the United States were subject to the Motion Picture Production Code, more commonly known as the Hays Code.
Chewing tobacco is prevalent throughout Babe Comes Home and an essential part of the story of Dugan and his burgeoning relationship with laundress Vernie , who tries to clean up his act. This ban preceded the discovery of the link between tobacco and cancer, which means that it was simply banned because chewing tobacco, and the spit involved in it, was deemed to be gross and inappropriate.
7 G-Men In 1935, G-Men, another major crime film, received a ban despite following the Hays Code guidelines it was subjected to. Like Scarface, the film was violent and featured many deaths, though it was able to pass the production code because the hero was a lawyer-turned-FBI agent. Warner Bros. made G-Men to counteract the trend of the glorification of crime that was seen in many popular films of the time.
5 Brewster’s Millions Many of the rules of the Hays Code were rooted in racism, including rules that prevented the depiction of “white slavery” and miscegenation, or interracial relationships. Prior to the Code, the first film banned in the United States in 1915 was The Birth of a Nation for its extremely racist content and portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan . On the flipside, in 1945, Brewster’s Millions was banned in Memphis, Tennessee for not being racist enough.
