Forbidden, Pre-code and Bad Girls of Hollywood
 

movies that pushed the boundaries. movies that showed more skin. movies that used blunt language and left nothing to doubt. in short, SEX!

listed here are a bunch of hollywood movies before the hays code forced them to tone down everything.

of course, those movies are nothing compared to today's where anything goes.

still, there are a few delights in these collections and you can catch a glimpse of stars in the making like bette davis, humphrey bogart, james cagney, joan blondell, clark cable and many others.
