Forbidden Hollywood Collection - Volume Two

Shearer. Davis. Chatterton. Stanwyck. The women of an uncensored film era!

Illicit sex. Glorified vice. Crime that pays. "You cant do that" said the film industrys Production Code. But in the pre-Code era, Hollywood could - and did - with lots of classic style.

On Disc 1 of this set of five pre-Code sizzlers, Norma Shearer is The Divorcee - her Best Actress Oscar-winning role - who believes sexual freedom is for women, too. And shes also A Free Soul who falls for gangster Clark Gable (and is defended in a murder trial by Best Actor Academy Award winner Lionel Barrymore).

Disc 2 delivers platinum-haired Bette Davis in Three on a Matchs searing tale of adultery and Ruth Chatterton as a tycoon who buys herself boy toys in Female.

And on Disc 3, Barbara Stanwyck defies sinister Clark Gable to protect an endangered child in Night Nurse.
