Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Hollywood's brief 'pre-Code' window before 1934 censorship—films could actually show women enjoying affairs without cosmic punishment.
Director Lambert Hillyer shot over 160 films, mostly B-pictures, and still found time to co-create the 'Bulldog Drummond' series. This was a Tuesday for him.
