Following Rules
Holy moly, Old Hollywood was even more uptight than my grandma! Can you imagine being married in real life and then having to pretend to sleep in separate beds on camera? That’s just nuts. Would the sight of a married couple sharing a bed cause the audience to burst into flames?
Society was just extremely repressed and prudish back then. Thank goodness we’ve come a long way since then. Nowadays, we’ve got all kinds of couples sharing all kinds of beds on screen, and nobody even bats an eye. It’s like, if you’re not pushing boundaries, what’s the point of doing anything at all?
