This Film Studies series delves into the outrageous and salacious movies created by Hollywood in a time known as the Pre-Code era. These films were produced from 1930 – 1934, a period when studios pushed the boundaries of indecent and intense adult themes deemed objectionable and offensive by American morality organizations before Hollywood’s Production Code Office strictly enforced its previously ignored censorship rules. Get ready for deliriously debauched delights on a Babylonian scale!
