Pre-code Hollywood refers to a brief period in American film history between the beginning of sound in 1929 to the enforcement of the Hays Code in mid-1934. The Hays Code aimed to clean up stories that some considered so racy or disturbing that audiences could be corrupted. Among films featured this semester are those with Joan Crawford and William Powell. All are from my personal collection; none previously shown in a class. Your correct email address is important, as students receive e-mails at least once a week with film background and other film-related news. Limit 35.
