That film received very positive critical and audience response despite being denied a seal of approval from the Production Code Administration and receiving a Condemned rating from the Legion of Decency. (These two formidable watchdog agencies would continue to be challenged--and audiences would continue to be convulsed--by the abundance of sex comedies still to come.) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   The present informal survey focuses on 25 selected examples of the genre, released between 1953 and 1964.
