Since my 1940s Film Noir Style series concluded last month, in March we will return to the 1930s and The Style of Sin. This fourth event in the online Pre-Code series focuses on the early life and career of Barbara Stanwyck with stories behind the style of films like Ladies of Leisure (1930) and the classic Baby Face (1932). Join me Sunday, March 21 for a little illicit fun!
Sunday, March 21
Starting at 4 pm PT/7 pm ET
The Pre-Code era of Hollywood refers to the years between 1930 when the Production Code was adopted and 1934 when it was in full effect. The Code prohibited seeing many sins on screen, so Pre-Code films are beloved for how risqué and provocative they could be with their look and content.
Join me for this series that introduces you to some of the most popular actresses of the Pre-Code era - such as Joan Crawford, Kay Francis, Jean Harlow, Barbara Stanwyck, Carole Lombard, Joan Blondell, and Marlene Dietrich.
Though costume design is important in film, it is particularly significant to the plot and production of the movies selected for this series. In each talk, you will also learn about the costume designers themselves - how they contributed to the style of the studios along with the evolution of the actresses' careers and personal style.
Upcoming events can be found on the GlamAmor Events page.
