Torch Singer (1933), a pre-code melodrama. A singing star searches for her lost daughter. A bit sentimental for my tastes but Claudette Colbert makes anything worth seeing (and she wears some stunning gowns). In its own way it's quite pre-code.

I found myself liking Tod Browning's 1935 Mark of the Vampire a bit more on a rewatch. Most of its problems are due to butchering by the Production Code. Carol Borland and Bela Lugosi look great but sadly most of their scenes were heavily cut.

The 1938 The Adventures of Robin Hood offers Errol Flynn at the top of his swashbuckling hero game and Basil Rathbone in super-villain mode. With spectacular visuals and dynamic pacing. The definitive Robin Hood movie. Great stuff.

Behind Office Doors (1931) is typical of the pre-code era in some ways. Apart from having some racy content the whole approach is not what you expect. The wives-vs-secretaries storyline was tailor-made for breezy romantic comedy but rather than going for laughs the film plays it dead straight.
The result could be described as a romantic office melodrama.
