| | Description: | After the dawn of sound and before the Production Code, Hollywood ran wild and free. Fearlessly and frankly tackling subjects and scenes that would quickly become forbidden to a generation of filmmakers, these seldom-seen pre-Code wonders are both revelatory and sin-sational. This fifth volume takes a walk on the wild side with a foursome that sees Jimmy Cagney (Hard to Handle), Warren William (The Mind Reader), Barbara Stanwyck (Ladies They Talk About) and Joan Blondell (Miss Pinkerton) in tales of swindlers, crooks and crime busters. This collection includes: Miss Pinkerton (1932), Hard to Handle (1933), Ladies They talk About (1933), the Mind Reader (1933)."Forbidden Hollywood Collection 5" on DVD by Wara invites viewers into a fascinating world of classic cinema made during or inspired by the so-called "pre-Code" era--films that dared to touch on themes of desire, morality, power, and social transgression in a way that would later be heavily censored. This edition offers a carefully curated selection for film lovers who appreciate historically significant works, nuanced storytelling, and the evolution of Hollywood's golden age. The DVD format provides a reliable, easy-to-use medium that is ideal for collectors and home-cinema enthusiasts who value physical editions with long-lasting durability.
