Back in the Golden Age Of Hollywood, the Production Code literally meant that you weren’t allowed to mention homosexuality, but filmmakers still found ways to sneak things in. It appears the Coen Brothers are playing with that in their new movie, Hail, Ceasar!, at least if these new clips are anything to go by.
They feature Channing Tatum as movie star Burt Gurney, who’s filming a musical where he has to put up with the fact that at sea, there will be ‘No Dames’.

The film will be in UK cinemas on March 4th. Take a look at the clips below.
