Film-regulation body in the USA. Officially
known as the Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America, it was created 1922
by the major film companies to improve the
industry's image and provide internal
regulation including a strict moral code. It
terminated in 1945. The office was headed by
Will H Hayes (1879-1954). A Production Code,
listing all the subjects forbidden to films,
was begun in 1930 and lasted until 1966, when
it was replaced by a ratings system.
