1937-38 1949-50 1940-41 Title and Distributor Rating Year of Review This Marriage Business (RKO) A-I This Side of the Law (Warners) A-II This Thing Called Love (Revised Version) (Columbia) B Objection: The treatment of the plot concentrates throughout the greater portion of the film upon a marriage situation which as screen material is highly suggestive and objectionable. The film, moreover, reflects ideas contrary to the Christian concept of marriage. Notation: The many and important cuts which were made in the original version of the film have been deemed sufficient to warrant a change in classification from "C" — Condemned (1940 41) to "B" — Partly Objectionable. The cut version of the film has been rated as Partly Objectionable because of the original theme — emphasis on which, however, has been considerably lessened.
