Pre-code Hollywood collection [videorecording].

Universal Cily, Calif. : Universal Studios Home Entertainment, c[2009].

3 videodiscs (463 min.) : sd., b&w ; 4 3/4 in.

Six films made before the Production Code. In 1934, Hollywood was turned upside down by the enforcement of a strict "Production Code" that would change the way movies were made for the next 34 years. But during the "pre-Code" period (1929-1934), censorship barely existed and filmmakers had free rein to make the movies they wanted and the public demanded. No subject was taboo including adultery, murder or sex.
