I hope everyone is safe, healthy and has plenty of toilet paper and I hope this will provide a few minutes of distraction. I’ve embedded the titles of the films in the video in the Closed Captioning (CC). Best to everyone. And wash those hands!
Ah, 2020, Coveed!!

Pre-Code Hollywood – Pre‑Code Hollywood refers to the wild, daring era of American filmmaking between the arrival of sound (1929) and the strict enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code — better known as the Hays Code — in 1934.
During these few glorious years, studios pushed boundaries with stories featuring bold women, risqué themes, moral ambiguity, crime, vice, and all the spicy material that would soon be banned. Filmmakers had far more freedom, and they used every inch of it.
It was Hollywood before Hollywood got told to behave.
