Kategorie:

As it’s currently Pre-Code April - that time of year where we celebrate that most lawless period in cinema history - I thought I’d take the opportunity to delve into the Secret History archive, and present a special episode I made a very long time ago - in fact it was the second Secret History Of Hollywood special - Sex In Monochrome, the story of the saucier side of Pre-Code cinema. Remember that all twelve of the Secret History Of Hollywood series, including this one, plus the first part of THIN: The Thin Man Story, and a full preview of the upcoming new episode of Cary, are all available to access at patreon.com/attaboysecret or follow the link in the show notes of this episode. It’s very simple to sign up, only takes a moment, and you’ll have instant access to hundreds more hours of Hollywood’s glorious, curious history. Hopefully see you there soon! The Hollywood of the 30’s and 40’s is commonly known as The Golden Age of Hollywood, a time when foundations were built, techniques refined, and legends were born, but The Golden Age was built upon the bones of another generation; a liberal, free-spirited time when Hollywood creatively defied the censors, and let its imagination run free. Sex was an integral part of film-making from the very beginning, appearing on film just a year after its inception, and remaining one of the most popular, and controversial subjects during the birth of cinema.  In this special episode of 'Attaboy Clarence', we’ll take a look at some of the keystones of sex in cinema, the men and women who were the first sex symbols, and the tragic figures who were its first casualties.  The sex. The lies. The films. The scandals. And the force that finally brought Hollywood to heel in the mid-thirties.  If you’ve enjoyed this episode, and would like to aid in its creation, then please consider becoming a patron of the shows!
