Any pre-code fans? [View all]

I am a big pre-code fan films made between 1929 to 1934 that showed strong women and didn't sugar things until the catholic Breen forced Hollywood to adhere to moral standards. Thes pious right wingers have always been with us.

My favorite movies : babyface, skyscraper souls, free soul, and goldie

Favorite stars Norma shearer, Warren William, Aline McMahon, Ann Harding
