Let's say the motion picture production codes never happens. Maybe someone publicly exposes Catholic involvement in it and greatly play up anti-Catholic feelings to prevent people from approving it. "Papalist are trying to take over Hollywood and spread their propaganda" is what some papers could report. Maybe also use this as a excuse to turn public opinion against censorship of film. How would film, tv, and Hollywood develop without these codes? What would be public reaction to some films be? I could see censorship being mostly restricted to local areas or states but not nationally. Also censorship enforcement would stay inconsistent even within local areas and states.
