Forbidden Hollywood on TCM
From DVD Times; "Warner Home Video and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) partner to spotlight three rare ground-breaking films from Hollywood’s Pre-Production Code era with the Region 1 DVD release of TCM Archives: Forbidden Hollywood Collection Volume 1 on 5th December 2006. This first in a series of releases of provocative, shocking feature films from the Warner Bros. library is a restored and remastered Two-Disc Collection of three legendary and notorious films. The films -- which earned their place in history thanks to three daring young actresses who undertook these racy, and riveting roles -- pay tribute to an extraordinary time before the censors cut the party short."

Scheduled are Waterloo Bridge 1931, starring Mae Clarke, the uncensored Baby Face 1933, and Red-Headed Woman 1932, starring Jean Harlow and Chester Morris.
