| Description: | Return with us now to those naughty days of yesteryear in this ninth volume of Forbidden Hollywood, containing a quartet of pre-Code wonders plus a special post-Code bonus film! Joan Blondell stars as a free-wheeling chorus girl who hooks up with the ultimate hick (Eric Linden) in Mervyn LeRoy's Big City Blues (with a young Humphrey Bogart!). Richard Dix stars as one cool convict working the road crew for a corrupt warden in Rowland Brown's Hell's Highway. Bette Davis utters the immortal I'd love to kiss you, but I just washed my hair to Richard Barthelmess in Michael Curtiz's The Cabin in the Cotton. Myrna Loy stars as a writer with extramarital designs in Harry Beaumont's When Ladies Meet. Finally, pre-Code favorites Pat O'Brien and Ann Dvorak spice up the proceedings in the tale of a Second Avenue auctioneer (O'Brien) who gets played by a society grifter (Claire Dodd) in Robert Florey's I Sell Anything."Forbidden Hollywood Volume 9" on DVD by Wara presents a curated selection of classic-era films from the time before the strict enforcement of the Hollywood Production Code. This collection focuses on morally daring, socially provocative stories that explored themes such as forbidden love, corruption, ambition, and the darker side of fame and power. Viewers can expect sharp dialogue, bold female characters, and plots that openly address issues that were later heavily censored, making the set particularly attractive for cinephiles and collectors interested in film history and cultural change.
The DVD format offers a convenient way to experience these vintage works in a stable, physical edition. "Forbidden Hollywood Volume 9" is ideal for classic-movie fans who value having a permanent copy for their home library, film clubs, or educational use. The release typically emphasizes restored image and sound (as available from the source material), allowing the atmosphere, set design, and acting style of the pre-Code period to be appreciated as clearly as possible given the age of the films.
Wara, as the credited manufacturer of this edition, positions itself as a label focusing on carefully curated genre and classic titles. Their releases often aim at collectors who appreciate coherent series, thematic box sets, and consistent packaging. With this volume, Wara continues to support access to historically significant titles that might otherwise be difficult to find, helping preserve cinematic heritage for a modern audience.
The "Forbidden Hollywood" concept traditionally showcases directors and performers whose daring work pushed boundaries in early Hollywood. Many such collections feature prominent stars of the era known for their charisma and nuanced performances in challenging roles, as well as directors who were key to shaping narrative cinema and visual style in the studio age. Because no specific cast, directors, or individual credits are provided for this particular "Volume 9" edition, no precise biographies or filmographies can be outlined here without speculation; however, the series is generally associated with major names from the golden age of Hollywood whose careers include numerous acclaimed films and long-lasting influence on cinema. |  | | Manufacturer No.: |
