...Oh, and by the way, the movie featured a prologue<br /><i>"apprising the audience that the hoodlums of local government must be exposed, and the glamour ripped from them"</i><br />and an epilogue<br /><i>"pointing the moral that good governance at a local authority level is on her knees, and inquiring loudly as to what is to be done."</i><br /><br />The film was re-released in 1941 after the Production Code was put into effect. Three scenes of the film were cut, because of the Code. One is of a markedly effeminate tailor measuring Tom for a suit, another with Matt and Mamie "rolling around" in bed, and the third showing Tom being seduced when hiding out in a woman's apartment.<br /><br />Just thought you'd like to know.<br /><br /><i>(No politicians have been hurt in the making of these comments.)</i>baarnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301292285255035403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-34618059433011281142011-10-18T00:57:15.340+01:002011-10-18T00:57:15.340+01:00The Public Enemy, 1931

Residents can be assured that the sum raised from the dramatic photographs (arising from our firm-but-fair procurement policy) of that article went to a good cause.baarnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301292285255035403noreply@blogger.com
