Summary
"Illicit sex. Glorified vice. Crime that pays. 'You can't do that' said the film industry's Production Code. But in the pre-Code era, Hollywood could -- and did -- with lots of classic style. On Disc 1 of this set of five pre-Code sizzlers, Norma Shearer is The Divorcee -- her Best Actress Oscar -winning role -- who believes sexual freedom is for women too. And she's also A Free Soul who falls for gangster Clark Gable (and is defended in a murder trial by Best Actor Academy Award winner Lionel Barrymore)."--Container.
