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

    On November 1, 1968, the voluntary MPAA film rating system took effect,[2] with three organizations serving as its monitoring and guiding groups: the MPAA, the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), and the International Film Importers & Distributors of America (IFIDA).[15] Only films that premiered in the United States after that date were affected by this.

    If a movie wasn't rated it was open to all audiences, hence "G."
