Funny story.

Any movie made before the MPAA system was implemented was grandfathered in as "G"

There were some wild pre-Code movies that are legally G.

That's objectively not true. Studios could choose to have a movie rated or not. Many are just "un-rated".

Many were rated as G because post-Hayes Code but pre-MPAA ratings, most would have earned a G anyway
