Pre code Ginger

iMovie round two.
These are photos from some of Ginger Rogers' pre-code films. I had an immensely difficult time choosing music. At first I wanted to use a happier song, but later decided a "tougher" sounding song would fit this theme better.

this music is completely out of place with the pre code time period. Seems like you could've found an appropriate tune from at least within 20 years of 1931.

@learningrichard why?

I hate this period in film history. Exclusion and oppression of all ethnic minorities.

[beeje]

@Microglia1 Isn't that just this period of history in general? I'm a 'minority' but I still love the films from this era. I don't know, I don't really like thinking about things in terms of race. People are people.

You know what sucks, if any of these great actresses of back then were to try and make it today, they wouldnt even be given a 2nd glance. No wonder many the the entertainers of today SUCK, today ppl prefer fake beauty over natural beauty and great talent!

I have to agree completely. The music is a real distraction. I could not like that song under any pretenses. Something more romantic, flowing or traditional, please. On the other hand... thanks for posting pictures of Ginger Rodgers. I think she is a terrific actress, forgotten or never given credit for her comic appeal and diversity. And I have never even seen her dance. I think she is supreme.

@Microglia1 Not all.

@Microglia1 Get real! Things got far worse after May 1934 with the enforcement of the Production Code. Pre code movies rock (watch 1933's "Babyface" and rethink your opinion...).

@Microglia1 not exclusion but stereotyping in most cases but there were some noble exceptions
