According to Today, in the early 1930s the film industry adopted the Hays Code, a self-regulated set of rules that dictated what was acceptable to show on screen — and expletives were a big no-no. Gone With the Wind producer David O. Selznick wanted to stick to the line in the book, but profanity-free phrases, such as “I don’t give a hoot” and “Frankly, my dear, nothing could interest me less,” were considered.
