John Wayne Was In A Shocking 90-Year-Old Sex Drama That Completely Changed Hollywood Censorship

Though John Wayne is immediately associated with Westerns and war movies, he was, surprisingly, in a 90-year-old sex drama that was so shocking at the time that it completely rewrote Hollywood’s censorship laws. Though most tend to think of his career in the era of the 1950s-60s, Wayne’s Hollywood career started much earlier than that. His first feature film, Men Without Women, came all the way back in 1930, but it wasn’t until 1939’s Stagecoach that he really broke out and became a mainstream star.
