Final Pre-Code Film Goes Out With Bang-Glorious Beauties On Display
8 April 2022
Hollywood's Freedom of Expression came to an End in 1934 with the Implementation of the Hays Code.

A List of Banned and Forbidden Images, Topics, and Subjects would Go into Effect and Oppressively Dominate what Americans Saw on Movie Screens for close 35 Years

This is One of the Last Films to be Released Without Restrictions and the Movie is Typical of the Musical Comedy Revues that had been a Popular Entertainment at the Movies in the Sound Era.

The Girls are Scantily Clad and On Full Display as the Light-Weight Murder-Mystery Unfolds.

"The Vanities" Lacks the Panache and Hyper-Movement, and Breadth of Busby Berkley's Signature Kaleidoscopic Eye-Poppers, the Girls are more Posed than in Motion, but You can Get a Good Look.

Victor Mclaglen is the Police Detective Sparring with Jack Oakie Backstage as the Parade of Semi-Nude Beauties is Never-Stop.

A Prime Example of a Short-Lived Art-Form that would become Tamed Along with the Rest of America's Movie-Output.

A Free-Wheeling Celebration of Life through Razz-Ma-Tazz with "The Most Beautiful Girls in the World".
