called Pre-Code Hollywood, put out by Universal, with some vintage movies from the early 1930s.
As readers know, I am a huge fan of vintage and classic motion pictures, so this is a must-have.
The reviewer gives low marks for Tallulah Bankhead's version of The Cheat, but the DeMille silent version, made in 1915 and starring Sessue Hayakawa, was very good, despite some Asian stereotypes. When he "branded" Fannie Ward, the brand looked awfully realistic. It made me wince.
It was a good film, and I used to have it on VHS, so I will have to get it on DVD sometime in the near future.
