I think in old movies it can seem strange sometimes when they don't say something, like an angry gangster. One would have expected Johnny Rocco in Key Largo to swear. "Copper, I'll say one thing for you you sure can take it. The way Toots was laying it on I thought you'd never wake up." "You hick! I'll be back pulling strings to get guys elected mayor or governor before you see a 10 buck raise!" I've often thought about this, it is a little distracting how tough guy actors in old gangster films don't really seem to swear (James Cagney in particular), though I guess those were the circumstances of the Hayes Code. Though even in "The Godfather" which came out well after the Hayes Code was lifted there wasn't a ton of swearing (at least compared to a Scorcese film) |
