Purchase Forbidden Hollywood Vol. 6 here bit.ly/Zy54Yw
Audacious, controversial and shockingly frank, Forbidden Hollywood Volume Six turns the spotlight on adultery, alcoholism, prostitution and racism, issues the Production Code would soon ban from the screen. Starring the pre-Code era's biggest stars, including John Gilbert, Richard Barthelmess, Myrna Loy, Kay Francis and Ann Dvorak, these four rarely seen gems are a provocative reflection of American mores in a not-so-innocent time. The Wet Parade (1932) Demon whiskey brings ruin to two families in this all-star adaptation of Upton Sinclair's impassioned novel. Downstairs (1932) A philandering chauffeur (Gilbert) creates havoc in an upper-class household. Mandalay (1934) A Russian refugee (Francis) seeks revenge upon the ex-lover (Ricardo Cortez) who sold her into lavery. Massacre (1934) A college-educated Sioux (Barthelmess) wreaks vengeance upon the white officials who abused his family and cheated his people.
