Reception
Like many American films of the time, The Brazen Beauty was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required, in Reel 4, cuts of two scenes and the flashing of three scenes of a young woman in a boat where her gown was considered indecently low.[2]
gollark: Society does do some stuff which isn't exactly beneficial to sane thinking, at least, notably almost everything about schools.
gollark: Which I don't know about, but it's clearer!
gollark: It would probably be better expressed as "people are *naturally* not very good at being rational, regardless of what society does/has done".
gollark: Somewhat, which is why I did not say it unqualified as I might have.
gollark: Quality on that is apparently variable however.
