Here’s a great article I found which will help you if are new to the site.Pre-Code Hollywood (Green Cine)-What is great about this article is it’s clear time definiton of the five year period and the local aspect of film censorship

” The “pre-Code era” refers to a roughly five-year period in film history, beginning with the widespread adoption of sound in 1929 and ending on July 1, 1934, with the inauguration of the Production Code Administration and a policy of rigid censorship. Before July 1, 1934, restrictions on movie content varied widely, depending on local laws, mores and public taste. As a result, “pre-Code films” tend to be racier, sexier, more adult, more cynical, more socially critical, more honest and more politically strident than the films produced by Hollywood on up through the early 1960s.”

1. (The Devil’s Cabaret) This one in color, I have no idea what the title is but it’s all about Sin and I think it may be called “The Devil’s Cabaret”. I love the dancing devils in tutus outside of a fondue pot. I also love the dancing lingere girls. Some cute outfits!

2. Dancing the Devil Away (those are some serious mylar merkins!)
