00:13In 1961, Hollywood was still subject to many rules about what could be shown on screen.
00:20It is in this context that The Children's Hour, directed by William Wyler, was released.
00:24The film tells the story of two teachers whose lives are destroyed after a rumor.
00:29A student accuses the two women of having a romantic relationship.
00:33Today, the topic is completely simple.
00:36And really, that could be the script for many fictional works and many films.
00:39But at the time, there was a law that changed everything.
00:42In the early 1960s, addressing homosexuality in a Hollywood film remained extremely sensitive.
00:48For years, the famous Hays Code limited or prohibited this type of representation.
00:54The Hayes Code is a code that was established in 1930 by Senator William Hayes.
00:59who is president of the Motion Picture Production and Distributors Association.
01:03Its aim was to regulate film content by setting rules on what was considered acceptable.
01:09or not on screen.
01:11And homosexuality was unacceptable.
01:13So the film is creating controversy.
01:15There are even some theaters that are hesitant to screen it.
01:18Tell me what you knew about this in the comments.
