Yesteryear's "Woke" Movies, TV or Musicals that would be problematic today.

And yes, I know "woke" didn't exist then, but you get the idea. Can you think of any movies, TV shows or Musicals that embraced the liberal ideology of their time but would be found to be problematic today after close examination?

I was thinking of the musical RENT and how it's main plot device revolves around the character Angel, the heart of the story, and his whole "Today for you Tomorrow For Me" song where he sings about earning enough money for everyone to go out and enjoy a beer from the proceeds he got from killing a woman's dog.
