Lifelong Learning | Sin on the Silver Screen

11:00am-2:00pm

Professor Cordelia Siporin

*Film Viewing*

Gangsters on the street, speakeasies, Prohibition, prostitution, and an America at the end of its rope; at the height of the Great Depression, Hollywood films stand out for their renegade, subversive, anti-establishment messages that reflect a time before the Motion Picture Production Code was enforced. Our discussion will explore Pre-Code Hollywood Cinema in all its uncensored glory, through screenings and in context of contemporary socio-politics, culture, and the history of Great Depression America. Screening: Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933).
