In the early 1930s, before Hollywood began enforcing a self-imposed
Production Code, many films allowed for extraordinary frankness
including nudity, adultery and prostitution. In this restored and
remastered three-movie collection, three daring young actresses are
featured in racy, riveting star vehicles.
Saucy Jean Harlow shrewdly vamps unwitting executives to get what she
wants in RED-HEADED WOMAN (1932; Disc 1), scripted by Anita Loos
(GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES).
James Whale (FRANKENSTEIN) directs WATERLOO
BRIDGE (1931; Disc 1), starring Mae Clarke in the gritty first film
version of the acclaimed wartime romance.
Added to the National Film
Registry in 2005, BABY FACE (1933; Disc 2) stars Barbara Stanwyck as an
amoral beauty who sleeps her way to the top. This collection boasts
both the Original Theatrical Release and a Prerelease Version, recently
discovered and restored by the Library of Congress, before censors of
the day demanded the elimination of several scenes.
