Just as a general rule of thumb I think violence has affected ‘modern’ films most.
If you go back to the 30’s 40’s although you don’t “see” the sexual act, you do see a surprising amount of sheer bra-less coverage on women. Find an unedited version of the original JW Tarzan, (not the one cleaned up for 70’s 80’ s morning matinees.) The scene where he rips her dress off before throwing her in the river is quite the surprise.
I thought Wendy’s comment on AH “The Birds” was on target, while it may have garnered awards in its day for FX, imagine it today in the hands of Clive Barker.
