Pre-Code Film Festival: A 1932 Classic

Pre-Code Film Festival: A 1932 Classic

Presented by Homewood Public Library at Homewood Public Library

We will watch a 1932 pre-Code classic that is arguably the raunchiest movie Jean Harlow made at MGM. Harlow’s character brazenly relishes both the sex and the posh life it wins for her. The lion’s share of this sardonic comedy, scripted by Anita Loos and an uncredited F. Scott Fitzgerald, focuses on Harlow’s seduction of her married boss (Chester Morris) and the havoc she wreaks in his upper-crust world.  The film has an air of breezy ribaldry, with Harlow briefly flashing a bare breast, and having affairs with a coal tycoon and a handsome French chauffeur (Charles Boyer in his first Hollywood film role).
