Pre-Code Film Festival: A 1931 Classic

Pre-Code Film Festival: A 1931 Classic

Presented by Homewood Public Library at Homewood Public Library

We will show a 1931 classic was without a doubt one of the best films of the pre-Code era, filled with everything that defines pre-Code cinema.  Both dark and hilarious, this fast-paced, tightly-structured B-movie deals with tough broads, bootleggers, drug-abusing doctors, and debauched rich people.  Upon completion of her training, Lora Hart goes to work as a night nurse for two small children who seem to be very sick, but something much more sinister is going on.  The heartless chauffeur is gradually starving two little girls to death after having run over and killed their sister with his car!  Director William A. Wellman concocted a roller coaster for the ages, starring the very young actors Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Blondell, and Clark Gable.
