Both Grant and Dunne, were in the same bed, during the first baby scene. I thought that this was against the Code, even in 1941.

...except in technical/format terms (without touching the aspect ratio) so that generations to come can treasure this picture. it is as beautiful and relevant today as the day it was conceived.

I just watched this last night, and was surprised by that too. The night before I watched 'Call Northside 777', with James Stewart and Helen Chandler (1948), and they were in separate beds.

It wasn't against the code to show that a husband and wife slept in the same bed. It was against the code to actually show them on-screen in bed together.
