Book Reviews of Complicated Women: Sex and Power in Pre-Code Hollywood
Book Review: BEST FILM BOOK OF THE YEAR
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best film book of the year, the critically acclaimed, passionate and witty history/study of the great age for women's pictures -- the five years before censorship came and wrecked the party. It's a great women's book, a great story and a great way to turn on to the pre-Code era, 1929-34. This book hasn't got enough press in the UK, but it rocks.
