I'd heard second-hand about Caught's psychological complexity, but never about the miscarriage subplot--that's hard damn stuff to be slipping past the censors, subtly or not! Bravo, Mr Ophuls.
It's right out there in the text! I have no idea how they did it. I'm sure there were other compromises that had to be made to the Breen office, but there's so much else that looks as though it's just ignoring the existence of the Production Code, full steam ahead. When I described it to my father, he thought it was pre-Code. I couldn't blame him.
(Unlike The Reckless Moment, Caught is available on DVD, so there's a chance of people seeing it sometime soon.)
