      Regardless of whether that rule appears in the Code itself, it could be a functioning rule that they applied through their operation. There's the Code, and then there is the way that the Code functioned in practice.

        How about some examples rather than suppositions? Anyone know movies where they did and didn't keep a foot on the floor when kissing on a bed? (I guess if they kissed in a haystack that doesn't apply.) 🙂

          I thought since they both appeared fully clothed is how they got away with it.

            The only unfortunate aspect of that scene was that when I saw it, looking back on it now and conscious of the situation with the "Code" at the time, I knew as soon as they showed them waking up together that they were going to end up together happy at the end of the film. If the story required them to break up at the end or for one of them to go to jail, that scene would not have been filmed that way.

              Otto Preminger was famous for hating censorship and worked hard to break the Hays Office code.

                  I thought it kinda odd that Faye would put her coat on after a shower. Which reminds me, that bed scene was
                  like
                  a cold shower next to the kiss/embrace with Stella outside the club.
                  In fact, as
                  smokin'
                  hot as Linda Darnell was I'm surprised they allowed Preminger to film her at all!

                    I figured that the coat was all she was wearing.

                      The exact rule was you had to keep one foot on the floor, unless you were with Alice Faye, in which case only Phil Harris had to keep one foot on the floor.
