Film history traditionally plays up the inventiveness of filmmakers working under the Hays code, how they used symbolism and innuendo and all the subtleties of the medium to skirt censorship rules and ultimately advance the artform beyond the lowbrow hamfistedness of the first 5 years of talkies.

Then you watch I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932) and realize what they stole from us. 92 years ago, this movie said fuck the police, the courts, and the governor, too; and it wasn't the only one. No wonder they shut them up.
