The Hays Code was a set of rules that governed the content of films made in Hollywood during the 1930s. The code was named after Will H. Hays, the head of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), which was the trade association for the film industry. The code was intended to ensure that movies were family-friendly and did not contain any content that might offend the public. The code was enforced by the Production Code Administration (PCA), which was a division of the MPPDA
