About this product

Product Information

Just because they're black and white, doesn't mean they're prim and proper. In FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD, Turner Classic Movies and Warner Bros. open up their archives to showcase films that are startling in their modern values and explicit sexuality. This third volume showcases the pre-Code films of William Wellman, whose film WINGS won the first Oscar for Best Picture. Mary Astor, Barbara Stanwyck, and James Cagney are among the stars who feature in OTHER MEN'S WOMEN, THE PURCHASE PRICE, FRISCO JENNY, MIDNIGHT MARY, HEROES FOR SALE, and WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD--works that run the gamut from Depression-era social dramas to anguished women's pictures. Also included here are two documentaries on the director, WILD BILL: HOLLYWOOD MAVERICK and PBS's THE MEN WHO MADE MOVIES (WILLIAM WELLMAN). Please see individual titles for complete synopsis information.

  • Not just of historical interest - but also first rate entertainment.

    Every one of the films in this valuable boxed set - one of several in the "Forbidden Hollywood" collection - is entertaining - and not just to cineastes and university film students. The digital re-imaging of every one of them is a good as can be imagined - all of them look as bright and new as they might have looked to an audience viewing them as new productions 80 or so years ago. It's possible that these movies are in even better shape than that - since the films seen in our country's movie houses far and wide were often copies several times removed from the original masters of the films on view - while the films I've viewed in this set look like they might be the initially produced versions - an amazing technical accomplishment. These films belong in the collection of any serious pre-Hollywood Code movie buff - and, for that matter, anyone who wants to explore how Americans of all classes saw their contemporary lives and their recent past during the Depression Era ("recent past" - "Frisco Jenny," for example). My favorite is "Wild Boys of the Road" - a favorite also of my late dad, who knew personally - even as the boys in this rather downbeat film discovered to their dismay - how tough it was to be young - and to survive - during the Great Depression. Highly recommended.
