i think the next time tumblr makes up a movie in three-four months time it should be an unfinished 1934 screwball that was shut down halfway through production when the hays code came into action and as a result only exists as a half-edited 30 minute negative that mgm was supposed to burn but didn't. i think that would be fun

#i haven't seen nearly enough pre-code films to be able to pull this off but imagine the possibilities...#the pre-code films i have seen are wild and progressive in ways that some films released today cannot aspire to #criminals and shoot em ups out the wazoo. everyone is committing adultery all the time #women kissing each other on the mouth. men looking like they want to eat each other. the twelfth night love triangle in sylvia scarlett #i know that's 1935 and is thus technically code but still. insane gay ass movie katharine hepburn big sexy #anyway....#this is a pointless text post #greatest (s)hits
