OK, so I have 6 of these 10 films as 'vanilla' DVDs, but given @indicatorseries fabulous packaging, booklets and extras this #MaeWest boxset will be a must.

And finally, I'm going to miss these fabulous posters & wicked titles. So here are few posters of #precode films I want to watched, inpsired by #PreCodeApril.
Safe in Hell (1931)
Call Her Savage (1932)
The Sin of Nora Moran (1933)
Crime without Passion (1934)
Death Takes a Holiday (1934, Mitchell Leisen) Death (Fredric March) is confused why people are reluctant to go with him, so takes human form to find out, on his 'holiday' he is drawn to Grazia (Evelyn Venable). Good looking eccentric fantasy melodrama. A curiosity. #PreCodeApril
The Gay Bride (1934, Jack Conway)
Showgirl (Carole Lombard) is determined to marry money & decides that a gangster (Nat Pendleton) is the perfect mark: lots of money/potential short life-span! But then there's her love/hate relationship with Jimmy (Chester Morris). #PreCodeApril
@chriscampbellX Yes, Very happy for you to jump in in praise of Basil, the Great Mouse Detective especially Vincent Price. Having watch some of his Poe adaptations recently, was very tickled by the nod to Pit and the Pendulum.
