In the 1930s, the Hollywood Production Code, also known as the Hays Code, banned the word 'damn' from films, leading to iconic alternatives like Clark Gable's famous line in 'Gone with the Wind' (1939), where it was allowed as an exception and became one of the most memorable uses in cinema history.
