I must be dislexic. ;)

: That was a marvelous film!

: I'm sure most gearheads could identify with the line Cary Grant gives: "I've just gone GAY all of a sudden!" :P

: : Modern Times
: : The Great Dictator (Anybody remember Chaplin?)
: : My Man Godfrey
: : Madam Satan (by Cecil B. DeMille) - it has a Zepplin in it!
: : Little Caesar (The era of the gangster film has begun)
: : The Public Enemy (Cagney, more gangsta stuff)
: : And some adventure movies:
: : Lost Horizon
: : King Kong
: : The Hunchback of Notre Dame
: : The Mummy
: : Tarzan
: : Captain Blood
: : Island of Lost Souls
: : Mutiny on the Bounty
: : China Seas

: : Lots of escapist (and propganda too) stuff can be found among movies that deal with then current problems and issues. Just look at all those screwball comedies I didn't list.

: : -Forrestal

: : PS: Censorship was still a hot issue in the 30's. Religious organizations, backed by William Randolph Hearst, pressured the movie industry.
