Response
The Scarlet Empress was one of the last mainstream Hollywood motion pictures to be released before the Hays Code was strictly enforced, but was "condemned" by the Catholic Legion of Decency as "morally objectionable".
The Scarlet Empress was described as one of Marlene Dietrich's most frank and suggestive films, which portrays Russia's future queen Catherine the Great as an oversexed, sexually-depraved dominatrix. The historic film is filled with erotic images and motifs. It also contains depictions of torture.
