Subject: 70's Movie Ratings
Do you remember when the MPAA would put any old rating on a movie regardless of how much sex, violence, and drug usage there was? A lot of G and PG-rated movies in the 70's era would have been rated R or X (or NC-17) today. And visa versa. Example: "Midnight Cowboy" was originally X-rated but is an R today. And the crappy films Elvis put out during the late 60's and early 70's would not have been G but PG-13 in the modern era. (Side note: Critic Leonard Maltin called the film "The Impossible Years", with David Niven 'the most offensive G-rated film ever'. I'm thinking PG-13 or R territory.)
