Complicated Women

Before Hollywood had boundaries, they weren't afraid to push the limits.

Duration: 56 min
Release date: 2003-05-06
IMDB

Looks at the stereotype-breaking films of the period from 1929, when movies entered the sound era, until 1934 when the Hays Code virtually neutered film content. No longer portrayed as virgins or vamps, the liberated female of the pre-code films had dimensions. Good girls had lovers and babies and held down jobs, while the bad girls were cast in a sympathetic light. And they did it all without apology.
