Spicy Spring Spotlight on Pre-Code Cinema

March 2, 6:30 PM: The Last Flight (1931)

This overlooked gem is by turns a funny, poignant and tragic tale of the “lost generation,” following a group of pilots in Paris just after the end of WWI, as they aimlessly embark on a drunken binge. An early film by director William Dieterle, with Richard Barthelmess, David Manners, Helen Chandler, and Johnny Mack Brown, 76 min.

March 9, 6:30 PM: Other Men’s Women (1931) 

William Wellman helms this drama of railroad workers who are best friends until one falls for the other’s wife. Starring Grant Withers, James Cagney, Mary Astor, and Joan Blondell, 71 min.

March 16, 6:30 PM: Baby Face (1933) 

Barbara Stanwyck is a stunner as the ambitious Lily Powers, who is determined to succeed at all costs. Her costumes alone (with gowns by Orry Kelly) are worth a gander. With George Brent, and a very young John Wayne, 71 min.

March 23, 6:30 PM: No More Orchids (1932) 

Heiress Carole Lombard flirts with Lyle Talbot on a cruise, only to find herself being forced by her grandfather (C. Aubrey Smith) to marry into royalty in order to save her banker father (Walter Connelly), 78 min.

March 30, 6:30 PM: The Divorcee (1930) 

Norma Shearer won a Best Actress Oscar for her role as a wife who decides two can play that game, when she finds out that her husband is unfaithful. Produced by Shearer’s husband, MGM exec Irving Thalberg, with Robert Montgomery, Chester Morris, and Conrad Nagel, 84 min.
