This is the most notorious pre-code movie at all: Baby Face. Alfred E. Green directs Stanwyck magnificently, as he was just about to direct Bette Davis in her Academy-Award winning role: Dangerous, two years later. However, since Baby Face was directed before the Hays' Code was set into immovable place, Green was able to get a way with a lot more. It wasn't just innuendo; it was crystal clear. Barbara Stanwyck's character was sleeping with men to get to the top, in times of depression. In fact this film helped to set the Hays' Code in place, because it ignored the moral codes of the time.
