Swipe File 22: "Movie Dos and Don'ts"

The Production Code Administration's new movie content restrictions were parodied by Hollywood photographer A.L "Whitey" Schafer in his famous "Thou Shalt Not" (various cited as 1934 or 1940 -- it also appeared in "Life" magazine October 28, 1946). An unidentified artist recreated this for the cover of "American Detective Magazine" (Australia, 1952), and the cover of Thomas Doherty's 1999 book "Pre-Code Hollywood" re-used the original image.

"The trouble with many Hollywood beauties is that they look alike. But Veronica Lake is a type all her own. Because of her distinctive loveliness, she is my idea of a really beautiful woman. Veronica is unlike many actresses because all her natural attributes are in her favor. For example: She is a natural blonde. This means that her hair presents no lighting problems to the photographer. Although she is a small woman - 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing 98 pounds - her figure is excellently proportioned. Her lovely throat, shoulders and bosom are perfect for glamor poses. Miss Lake's beauty offers no problems for photographers to overcome for there is no need to highlight some of her features at the expense of others. To make the cameraman completely happy, she has a definite sense of rhythm of line. Her inherent ability to assume just the right pose easily and gracefully makes her a truly delightful subject to photograph."

- A.L."Whitey" Schafer, Paramount's portrait photographer
