The Barbarian (1933) is comedy/romantic melodrama. A movie filled to the brim with pre-code outrageousness. Myrna Loy is at her sexiest and her bathtub scene is a highlight. It would be impossible to make this movie today.

I'm a big fan of Cecil B. DeMille’s comedies. My favourite is his outrageous pre-code musical sex comedy Madam Satan (1930). Zeppelins, amazing costumes, lots of pre-code naughtiness. It all adds up to delirious crazy fun.

The Lady Refuses, a 1931 pre-code melodrama. A rich man hires a prostitute to lure his son away from a gold digger. The whore is the most morally admirable character in the film. Very pre-code, especially the ending. Enjoyable.
