Pre-Code

Pre-Code films are films created during the period of 1930-1934, before the Motion Picture Production Code or Hays Code was created. Although there was an existing code of conduct for the film industry, many ignored it. Films from this period are very risque for the 1930's and could include sexual innuendos, drug references, references to homosexuality, as well as women in their undergarments, which was quite a tabu at the time. Popular character roles are tough talking assertive women, gangsters, and ladies of the night.
