I'll keep this short. Before May of this year, pre-codes weren't something I was overly passionate about. I didn't hate them- I just had never really explored this pocket of film history to its fullest extent. Almost by accident (I was on a Barbara Stanwyck binge), I ended up watching several pre-codes in a short period of time and an overwhelming love was born. If you've never explored this period of film history- I highly recommend it. Go visit the sensational "[ Ссылка ]", read up on the essential films and actors/actresses of the period and dive in head first! They're fun, salacious, daring and unforgettable. You won't regret it.
