The 4-disc set includes: The Wet Parade (1932), Downstairs (1932), Mandalay (1934) and Massacre (1934).
This new set adds to the total of over 1,100 Warner Archive titles exclusively available for rent at ClassicFlix.com.
Audacious, controversial and shockingly frank, Forbidden Hollywood, Vol. 6 turns the spotlight on adultery, alcoholism, and prostitution, issues the Production Code would soon ban from the screen.
Starring the pre-Code era’s biggest stars, including John Gilbert, Richard Barthelmess, Myrna Loy, Kay Francis and Ann Dvorak, these four rarely seen gems are a provocative reflection of Hollywood's desire to push the limits in a more innocent time.
