Just watched "Crime Wave" (aka "The City Is Dark"), 1954. It showed Gene 
Nelson and Phyllis Kirk sharing the same bed. I understood this to be a 
no-no under the Hays Code, unless the couple were actually married to 
each other in real life, which these two weren't. I note that Hays died 
in 1954, so was this the start of "The Hollywood Spring"?
