Uncensored Cinema
Since we’re talking alot about movies these days, you might be interested in Uncensored Cinema, a FREE series offering early sound film before the ‘Hollywood Code’, that continues this spring at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
Curated by Rockhurst University’s Michael Fabrizio, the series presents movies made during a brief period in the early ’30s when Hollywood writers, directors and producers were allowed to deal openly with violent, sexual and religious themes.
Films are shown at 2 p.m. on Sundays at the museum.
On June 25 (see Calendar) you can see the fourth film in the series, Personal Maid (1931), a movie where a poor Irish girl (Nancy Carroll) becomes a maid for a wealthy family; soon sexual sparks are flying. With Gene Raymond and Pat O’Brien; co-directed by Monta Bell and Lother Mendes.
