A Taste of Pre-Code: Selection 3
Welcome to the world of Pre-Code Hollywood! Watch for these movies on TCM or find them on DVD.
Since its strict enforcement starting in 1934, the Production Code sanitized Hollywood movies for decades. Viewers accustomed to the innocent classics of the Golden Age may be surprised at what they find in films released prior to 1934: racy dialogue, gritty violence, indecent exposure, immorality and stories that didn't have a happy ending. And no background music score. This gives movies from the early sound/pre-Code era (1929-1934) a unique flavor that I've learned to like.
This is another grouping of pre-Codes that stood out to me. Check 'em out and whet your appetite.
