‘Forbidden Hollywood’: Pre-Code Flicks to Make You Blush
3/3/08 at 5:15 PM
American movies are filthy and depraved nowadays, sure, but in the years before the Hays Code passed in 1934, Hollywood turned out flicks that make even us blush. This set, the second in a series, collects five more features starring loose women, wannabe child murderers, gold diggers, and gangsters. Start with Three on a Match: Set in New York, it’s about three ladies who lunch, and is more than a little like Sex and the City — if Samantha was a dissolute chorus girl and Carrie fell for a mobster.
