Many people probably already know about this, but I am sharing it for the few who don't...

Possible Trigger Warning for depicted cheek slapping

Classic example of how some things change, and others stay the same...

The 1933 MGM musical Dancing Lady had it all - Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, the film debut of Fred Astaire and even The Three Stooges. However, it also had a scene featuring a jigsaw puzzle that criticized the new dictator of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Now, for the first time in decades, TCM can show the movie moment that was censored by the Production Code.

1. Took 7 years but the Stooges finally succeeded

"You Nazty Spy," a Three Stroges short from 1940, is considered the first American film to satirize Hitler. It was released 9 months before the Chaplin classic "The Great Dictator."
