I was watching _Duck Soup_ today, and that got me wondering. How many movies that were made because of the NRA are available today? ---

I don’t think any films were made _because_ of the NRA (I assume you mean “National Recovery Administration”). However, films made during the NRA era (1932-1935) often displayed the NRA Eagle. It merely meant that the filmmakers agreed to abide by the NRA codes for workers (which were voluntary). You can see a reference to the NRA eagle in films like “Footlight Parade,” where the dancers display it. Just about any film of the era probably has the NRA symbol. ---
