Death...., very true observation about the change in movie making. At the end of the 60's the censorship was relaxing on language, nudity and violence and moviemakers were "pushing the envelope." Films like The Graduate and The Pawnbroker showed a woman's breast. That was major. Midnight Cowboy was rated X when it was first released circa 1969. There was nudity, rape, homosexuality, and basically the seamy side of NY street life. When the Godfather was released, the barriers had been broken and the Godfather fit right in. GF could never have been made in the early 60s they way it was filmed.
