Forbidden Hollywood Collection Volume One Warners takes the plunge into the naughty, scandalous and pretty-darn wonderful realm called the pre-code era: Three years of early talkies before the puritans kidnapped the movie industry and banished all adult content in favor of church approved pabulum. The first instalment is a mix of suppressed maturity (Waterloo Bridge), sleazy sexuality (Red-Headed Woman) and liberating satire (Baby Face). With slinky, daring performances from Mae Clarke, Jean Harlow and Barbara Stanwyck.   12/12/06 Posted by DVD Savant at December 11, 2006 09:37 AM
