Nude male scene

Very surprised to see the nude male chained up in the galley where is bare backside can be seen. He's chained, slightly struggled, very well toned and his muscles and buttocks glisten. It was highly homoerotic, almost like a scene from a gay porn bondage film. Quite amazing for a 1925 Silent movie with a general certificate.

"power steering"? Is that a euphemism?! 

You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

Pre-code films were often quite daring. You can usually pick them even if you don't know the shoot date.
