The lovely Sybille has alerted me to yet another Pre-code DVD set that will soon hit the market. Just a few weeks after the third volume of “Forbidden Hollywood” hits the shelves, Universal will release six of its classic pre-codes on the “Pre-Code Hollywood Collection”. The films are The Cheat, Merrilly We Go to Hell, Hot Saturday, Torch Singer, Murder at the Vanities, and Search For Beauty. It will also feature a documentary on the era. It will be released on April 7th.
Classic Flix has the cover art.

I’m excited to see The Cheat, Merrilly We Go To Hell, and Search for Beauty. Tallulah Bankhead has been in only one movie I’ve seen: Hitchcock’s Lifeboat. March and Lupino are in the other two.

‘Merrily We Go to Hell’ sounds fascinating from the description of it in Mick LaSalle’s ‘Dangerous Men’. And it’s great to see so many pre-code films being released on DVD at last!

Hi,
I just found your blog and I think it’s great. I really like your masthead. That font is Nite Club, right? One of my all time favorites.
Thanks for the heads-up about this new DVD collection!
