Pre-code carnality
Sunday, April 13, 2014
On April 16, CineVerse will return to its new monthly series, Pushing Boundaries--Films That Challenged the Censors and Created Controversial but Important Works of Cinematic Art. Part 2 will focus on pre-code Hollywood, a time when filmmakers could showcase sex and violence in spades. We'll spotlight a great example of this with “Baby Face” (1933; 71 minutes), directed by Alfred E. Green; Plus: We'll have time to explore “Thou Shalt Not: Sex, Sin and Censorship,” a pre-code Hollywood documentary (68 minutes).
