I’m reading “The Master Switch” by Tim Wu — which chronicles the consolidation of the media companies in the 19th and 20th centuries (and makes you think about what will happen in the 21st) — including government regulation.  Hence these movies are of interest.

Also, the whole blog Masterposts is worth following…. for links relating to films, tv shows, actors, etc.

The “pre-Code era” refers to a roughly five-year period in film history, beginning with the widespread adoption of sound in 1929 and ending on July 1, 1934, with the inauguration of the Production Code Administration and a policy of rigid censorship. Before July 1, 1934, restrictions on movie content varied widely, depending on local laws, mores and public taste. As a result, “pre-Code films” tend to be racier, sexier, more adult, more cynical, more socially critical, more honest and more politically strident than the films produced by Hollywood on up through the early 1960s.
