![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | Sex Madness

The Code forbade the portrayal of immoral acts like drug use. (The illegal drug traffic must not be portrayed in such a way as to stimulate curiosity concerning the use o...

The film tells the story of the mutiny on the Russian ship Prince Potemkin during the 1905 uprising.
