FOOTLIGHT PARADE FULL MOVIE FOR FREE
There wasn't quite as much Supreme Court protection then for free speech and the movie industry looked at it and said if we don't do something ourselves, we're going to get literally banned in whole states. But then it became kind of movement in society, organized groups, particularly some of the more conservative groups within the Catholic Church organized and they were demanding that the movie's change and they were beginning to get laws passed. I mean, literally one the very first like short thirty second films that was shown like 1895 that came out of the Edison studios was called The Kiss and it's just a man and a woman kissing - it was incredibly controversial and then all throughout the silent era, you have these epics and you’d have a little nudity or a little violence…people were always critical. I got to say that pretty much started when movies started. And they look at the lives of the actors. Many groups in society criticize the movies and other content for violence and sex. And that was sort of connected as well.ĭH: Yeah, in fact, we see it today, right? Hollywood is controversial. Like the fact that the greater country kind of look at Hollywood is being sin city, that there were scandals that were murders, there were rapes, there was drug use, there were actors that died of drug overdoses.
FOOTLIGHT PARADE FULL MOVIE CODE
SVW: And there was there were other elements that that went into the code being instituted as well. But then it and Trouble in Paradise and many, many other films that were made in that early sound era from ‘29 to ‘34 were not shown again for 35 years. People weren’t scandalized by, it was interesting and a fun romantic comedy. And again, when it came out in 1933 was a hit. That movie was also banned with the production code. Spoiler alert, but it basically at the end they end up just together as three. Which is basically about a threesome.ĭH: Right. Another one Design for Living from 1933 with Fredric March and Gary Cooper, with Miriam Hopkins in that as well. SVW: And Ernst Lubitsch was a director that was known for pre-code movies. SVW: And it wasn’t out on either VHS or DVD until, like 2000 or something, right?ĭH: Right, it never got released to home video until the 2000s so seventy years after it was made. So when the production code came into being and began to be enforced on July first, 1934, that movie was not seen again in the United States until 1968 or later when the rating system started.
Some of the sexual stuff, even though just implied and not shown, and you definitely couldn't have ever people getting away with crimes, you had to be some kind of punishment. But when the production code went into effect, you couldn't have many of those things happen. And so, by today's standards of the that's kind of cute. But what's interesting is that you see that that he falls in love with her, and so the movie…he's actually having relations, like sexual relations, even, you assume with both women, romantic relationships at they steal from her at the end and the two of them, and you're not quite sure which one is going end up with, but he goes off with a jewel thief at the end, they’re happily riding in a taxi. But their goal is they're going to rob her and in the end they do. They were they rob jewels and money and they get jobs with this rich woman, who is also young and attractive. The two main characters, a man and a woman, there jewel thieves, they're very glamorous people, but they're crooks. I mean, it's like tame by today's standards. If we saw today would probably be rated PG. I’ll tell you, Trouble in Paradise is this really charming romantic comedy.

But what's interesting is before the code existed, people didn't find this kind of stuff scandalous. SVW: And Trouble in Paradise is a very interesting film in terms of the relationships between men and women…definitely pretty code.ĭH: Yeah, they were. We're going to be talking about the production code that was initiated in 1934, 35.ĭH: Yeah, it actually existed from the very early 30's but didn't begin to be enforced until literally July first, 1934. What's interesting about it is that it was made in 1932, which was before the production code came into being which we're going to talk about today, right? Scott Vander Werf: I have seen Trouble in Paradise, the 1932 romantic comedy by Ernst Lubitsch.ĭH: Yeah, one of the great groundbreaking romantic comedies to kind of set the genre going. David Hast: Scott, have you seen Trouble in Paradise?
