In 1934 the MPAA voluntarily passed the Motion Picture Production Code, more generally known as the Hays Code, largely to avoid governmental regulation. The code prohibited certain plotlines and imagery from films and in publicity materials produced by the MPAA. Among others, there was to be no cleavage, no lace underthings, no drugs or drinking, no corpses, and no one shown getting away with a crime. A.L. Shafer, the head of photography at Columbia, took a photo that intentionally incorporated all of the 10 banned items into one image. The photograph was clandestinely passed around among photographers and publicists in Hollywood as a method of symbolic protest to the Hays Code. 1934年に定められた映画検閲ヘイズ・コードに反対するため、禁止された10か条を、一枚の写真のなかで全部やっちゃったっていう、気の利いたポスター。法律違反、太腿の内側、レースの下着、死人、薬、酒を飲む事、胸、ギャンブル、銃を人に向ける、機関銃が禁止された。しかし、このポスターの女のかっこよさったら！！映画で観たかった。
