Everyone forgets about the precode films. They thought they were so cool in the 1960s when they just went ahead and broke the rules. Well silent movies seldom left much to the imagination, and when talkies came in they just carried on doing the same old thing. For some reason being able to talk made a difference to the storyline for some people and along came the code. To my mind, precode films are far more sensitive and much less crude than the films they produce today.
God I love these Precode movies. Fredric March is great playing dual role, each with a different accent, and Kay Francis is always amazing. Thank you soooo much for posting this!
Fredric March, master of the duel role. :D
