There are many classic films that are categorized as Pre-Code Hollywood Movies. These Pre-Code Hollywood Movies were made before the notorious Hays Code implemented strict censorship rules on films. In fact, these Pre-Code Hollywood Movies were responsible for the creation of the code in the first place – as concerned authorities felt that these films would poison American minds.

So, what are some of these Pre-Code Hollywood movies that caused such a stir among American audiences?

Take a film like Baby Face. This film followed a young woman who began prostituting herself as a teenager. If you think that’s salacious, her journey began because her own father pushed her into this profession!

There’s also The Divorcee which followed the aftermath of a divorced couple – something that was incredibly shocking and taboo in the conservative America of the 1930s.

Gangster films have always caused controversy and the Pre-Code era was no different. James Cagney starred in a film called The Public Enemy which is still considered one of the greatest gangster films of all time. It’s also considered controversial today just as it was almost a century ago.

And these films are just the tip of the iceberg. There were many great Pre-Code Hollywood Movies that came and went. But some have stood the test of time and not only remain great films today but are still considered naughty today.

These films are not only entertaining but are also important in our ongoing battle to tackle difficult issues and subjects through cinema, and above all, fight for freedom of speech…
