Today, yes, often so. Not always so... One of my fave old movies is the "Devil and Miss Jones"... With a very sexy Jean Arthur as a retail clerk with a unionizing boyfriend. Evil boss goes to work in the shoe department to weed out "unionists" and meets her. Very funny ("What's a doomsday book?"). But that was a rare moment in U.S. film history.
