Sex & Scandal in Hollywood’s Golden Age

Available for over a year

Over 100 years ago the Hollywood film industry was shiny, new and sexy. Sex and sexuality was present on screen, but as the 1920s drew to a close, scandals and censorship crept in. Why did films begin to be made out in Hollywood? How raunchy was it? And what was the impact of such extreme censorship? Joining Kate today is the fantastic historian and author William Mann, to take us back to Hollywood's Golden Age. This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.
