well, it didn't seem to make that much difference in the early 30s, seems to have been from 1934 it got more restrictive. instance, I never thought the Marx Brothers were as funny in their later films - Harpo no longer chasing women etc. ANd Mae West's later films likewise were pretty bland compared to her early 30s stuff. but there are a lot of very good films that I don't think could have been any better if the Hays code hadn't happened.
