Sirk, the Family Melodrama, and the Production Code
For Sirk, all that the Motion Picture Production Code disallowed served as a stimulus to creativity, a challenge he didn’t exactly welcome but that turned out to be beneficial. His melodramas about families and would-be lovers become tales of ideological entrapment, of characters locked behind bars that they can’t see and so can’t escape.
