1
00:01:27,574 --> 00:01:29,475
In a changing world...
2
00:01:29,576 --> 00:01:31,943
one thing remains constant.
3
00:01:32,045 --> 00:01:36,039
But sometimes the manner
in which it is presented differs...
4
00:01:37,084 --> 00:01:39,485
and the treatment of sex
on the screen...
5
00:01:39,586 --> 00:01:44,524
has been a reflection of the customs,
manners and morals of the times.
6
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:49,052
The story of The Love Goddesses...
7
00:01:49,163 --> 00:01:53,066
is itself a history
of sex in the movies.
8
00:01:53,167 --> 00:01:57,901
We begin with America still in the shadow
of the Victorian era...
9
00:01:58,005 --> 00:02:01,032
and a movie heroine bound
by the same conventions...
10
00:02:01,141 --> 00:02:03,110
as any young lady of society.
11
00:02:05,145 --> 00:02:09,446
In a film with the delightful title
True Heart Susie...
12
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:11,849
Lillian Gish expressed
this Victorian innocence -
13
00:02:11,952 --> 00:02:15,753
a heroine who did not smoke,
would not drink...
14
00:02:15,856 --> 00:02:19,258
and couldn't even admit
she had ever heard about sex.
15
00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:24,863
But someone had to do
what a good girl could not...
16
00:02:24,965 --> 00:02:27,161
and the vamp was created.
17
00:02:30,337 --> 00:02:31,999
She could smoke...
18
00:02:32,105 --> 00:02:34,233
she could drink...
19
00:02:34,341 --> 00:02:36,833
and she had heard about sex.
20
00:02:40,447 --> 00:02:43,975
The word "vamp"
came from a poem by Kipling-
21
00:02:44,084 --> 00:02:46,212
"A Fool There Was."
22
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,384
In it, he portrayed the predatory,
bloodsucking vampire as a woman...
23
00:02:52,526 --> 00:02:55,360
and the vamp of them all
was Theda Bara...
24
00:02:55,462 --> 00:02:58,899
the first of a long line of champions...
25
00:02:58,999 --> 00:03:00,558
in the battle of the sexes.
26
00:03:01,969 --> 00:03:05,098
Invariably, the vamp's costumes
were distinctive...
27
00:03:05,205 --> 00:03:11,145
suggesting creatures in whose grasp,
or web, the victim was rendered helpless.
28
00:03:15,816 --> 00:03:20,754
Actually, sex in the movies had begun
long before there were stars or plots...
29
00:03:20,854 --> 00:03:23,983
and the peep-show nature
of the nickelodeon machines...
30
00:03:24,091 --> 00:03:27,084
added to the forbidden fruit flavor.
31
00:03:30,197 --> 00:03:32,428
The sensational Little Egypt.
32
00:03:33,834 --> 00:03:37,635
To us, perhaps, Little Egypt
may not look so sexy...
33
00:03:37,738 --> 00:03:40,071
but in 1898...
34
00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:42,904
Mark Twain had a heart attack
watching her.
35
00:03:45,779 --> 00:03:49,875
In 1916, David Wark Griffith...
36
00:03:49,983 --> 00:03:52,452
master of the motion picture
during its formative years...
37
00:03:52,553 --> 00:03:56,854
produced Intolerance,
one of the great spectacles of all time.
38
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:02,589
Mr. Griffith's heroines
were as pure as any...
39
00:04:02,696 --> 00:04:05,860
but he managed to get away with
a remarkable amount of nudity...
40
00:04:05,966 --> 00:04:08,435
by using a number of titles...
41
00:04:08,535 --> 00:04:13,303
telling just what particular historical rites
the girls were performing...
42
00:04:13,407 --> 00:04:18,710
and in which learned volumes
the audience could further research the subject.
43
00:04:22,549 --> 00:04:27,385
In 1916, the public paid
the astronomical price of two dollars...
44
00:04:27,487 --> 00:04:29,456
to see Intolerance.
45
00:04:30,691 --> 00:04:34,719
The other director who was to dominate
the American screen for decades...
46
00:04:34,828 --> 00:04:37,491
was Cecil B. DeMille.
47
00:04:38,999 --> 00:04:43,164
DeMille made this picture,
The Cheat, in 1915.
48
00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:48,402
It starred the screen's first
Oriental villain, Sessue Hayakawa...
49
00:04:48,508 --> 00:04:51,672
who plays an enormously wealthy
Burmese merchant...
50
00:04:51,778 --> 00:04:53,770
a collector of ivory.
51
00:05:00,887 --> 00:05:03,379
The heroine is Miss Fannie Ward.
52
00:05:04,424 --> 00:05:07,485
Miss Ward is a lady
in desperate need of money...
53
00:05:07,594 --> 00:05:11,463
and, unwisely, she has borrowed
from Mr. Hayakawa.
54
00:05:26,113 --> 00:05:29,743
When sex was encountered
by a Victorian heroine...
55
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:32,820
it was always the villain
who threatened her.
56
00:05:42,229 --> 00:05:45,131
The use of violence
in conjunction with sex...
57
00:05:45,232 --> 00:05:47,201
was rare in 19 15.
58
00:05:50,137 --> 00:05:54,700
But this theme is to appear again and again
throughout the history of the movies...
59
00:05:54,808 --> 00:05:57,607
for motion picture audiences
all over the world...
60
00:05:57,711 --> 00:06:02,376
were to get sexual excitement
out of watching violence on the screen.
61
00:06:08,155 --> 00:06:13,059
Another major recurring theme
in the history of sex is comedy...
62
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,291
for audiences often choose to laugh
at a satire of the same violence...
63
00:06:17,397 --> 00:06:19,366
that excites them.
64
00:06:21,935 --> 00:06:24,837
This film, an early contemporary
of the Keystone Kops...
65
00:06:24,938 --> 00:06:28,875
is Bertha, the Buttonhole-Maker.
66
00:06:46,393 --> 00:06:49,386
World War I
shattered the Victorian age.
67
00:06:49,496 --> 00:06:53,058
Overnight,
women's role in society changed.
68
00:06:53,166 --> 00:06:56,534
They got the vote,
their clothing changed...
69
00:06:56,636 --> 00:06:58,366
their point of view changed.
70
00:06:58,472 --> 00:07:02,136
The result was an amazingly different
American woman.
71
00:07:03,243 --> 00:07:05,940
But it was not until two years
after the war...
72
00:07:06,046 --> 00:07:08,811
that the movies
completely reflected this change.
73
00:07:09,983 --> 00:07:12,680
The catalyst was Valentino.
74
00:07:14,221 --> 00:07:17,419
The picture -The Sheik.
75
00:07:22,996 --> 00:07:26,023
It was a book every teenage girl
in America was reading...
76
00:07:26,133 --> 00:07:28,034
behind closed doors...
77
00:07:28,135 --> 00:07:31,230
each secretly sharing
the heroine's fascination...
78
00:07:31,338 --> 00:07:33,307
with the handsome hero.
79
00:07:34,407 --> 00:07:36,774
And that was the difference.
80
00:07:36,877 --> 00:07:40,279
The man who had kidnapped our heroine
was not the villain...
81
00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:42,679
but, for the first time, the hero.
82
00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:46,649
And Valentino's answer
to Agnes Ayres's question...
83
00:07:46,753 --> 00:07:48,745
"Why have you brought me here?"
84
00:07:48,855 --> 00:07:51,825
would change
the American love goddess.
85
00:07:59,766 --> 00:08:03,567
For now, for the first time,the heroine did know.
86
00:08:04,638 --> 00:08:07,301
The result was to be Clara Bow...
87
00:08:07,407 --> 00:08:09,774
the culmination
of the flapper heroine -
88
00:08:09,876 --> 00:08:13,313
a sexy little girl, a tease.
89
00:08:58,992 --> 00:09:01,985
Miss Bow's most famous picture was It.
90
00:09:02,095 --> 00:09:04,860
She plays a young girl
working in a department store...
91
00:09:04,965 --> 00:09:08,299
who has a chance to go out
with her handsome boss.
92
00:09:15,542 --> 00:09:19,309
At a time when the word "sex"
was still considered racy...
93
00:09:19,412 --> 00:09:23,679
the word "it" was accepted
as a substitute for sex appeal.
94
00:09:23,783 --> 00:09:25,911
"It" became a byword of the '20s...
95
00:09:26,019 --> 00:09:29,456
and Miss Bow, forever afterward,
the "It Girl."
96
00:09:42,702 --> 00:09:45,695
Clara Bow was flaming youth
in rebellion.
97
00:09:45,805 --> 00:09:50,505
She paraded a new worldly wisdom
that sex somehow meant a good time.
98
00:09:57,083 --> 00:09:59,575
However, don't be misled.
99
00:09:59,686 --> 00:10:04,090
Miss Bow was but a first cousin
to True Heart Susie.
100
00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:06,091
She too is a good girl.
101
00:10:06,192 --> 00:10:08,093
When they come home at night...
102
00:10:08,194 --> 00:10:12,632
although the boss is handsome, eligible,
and they are thoroughly in love -
103
00:10:16,269 --> 00:10:20,969
There are only a few years between
the end of World War I and Clara Bow...
104
00:10:21,074 --> 00:10:24,044
and yet what a wealth
of sexual and moral changes...
105
00:10:24,144 --> 00:10:26,045
were compressed into those years.
106
00:10:27,147 --> 00:10:29,981
The vamp was to disappear.
107
00:10:30,083 --> 00:10:32,746
Nita Naldi in Blood and Sand...
108
00:10:32,852 --> 00:10:36,016
played one of the last
of the great vamp roles.
109
00:10:36,122 --> 00:10:39,024
For now that the heroine
had become aware of sex...
110
00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:41,151
the vamp was no longer needed...
111
00:10:41,261 --> 00:10:44,595
and shortly,
though still in magnificent style...
112
00:10:44,698 --> 00:10:46,667
was to make her exit.
113
00:10:49,202 --> 00:10:52,434
More and more,
European attitudes to sex...
114
00:10:52,539 --> 00:10:55,304
were reaching and reshaping America.
115
00:10:55,408 --> 00:10:57,434
In a small American town...
116
00:10:57,544 --> 00:11:02,710
a crusading district attorney
zealously guards the public's morality.
117
00:11:02,816 --> 00:11:06,548
To him, any woman
smoking a cigarette is sinful.
118
00:11:22,802 --> 00:11:25,670
The film is Woman of the World...
119
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:28,241
and this is the Polish star
Pola Negri...
120
00:11:28,341 --> 00:11:30,867
playing a countess
who has come to America -
121
00:11:30,977 --> 00:11:34,243
a woman who knows
about life and love...
122
00:11:34,347 --> 00:11:36,316
and is not afraid of either.
123
00:11:40,787 --> 00:11:44,053
But she is hounded
by the puritans of the town...
124
00:11:44,157 --> 00:11:47,423
until finally, unable to stand
the hypocrisy any longer...
125
00:11:47,527 --> 00:11:50,258
she defends herself.
126
00:12:00,540 --> 00:12:06,446
What Miss Negri does not know is that
she has already changed the town.
127
00:12:06,546 --> 00:12:09,914
Of course, in reality
it was America that was changing...
128
00:12:10,016 --> 00:12:13,680
and Miss Negri
but a reflection of that change.
129
00:12:22,495 --> 00:12:24,464
The year is 1925.
130
00:12:25,498 --> 00:12:27,626
The '20s have started to roar.
131
00:12:27,734 --> 00:12:30,932
Inhibitions were cast aside.
132
00:12:32,572 --> 00:12:35,542
The demand was for something unusual...
133
00:12:36,342 --> 00:12:39,039
something exotic...
134
00:12:39,145 --> 00:12:43,082
something like the heroineof Sorrows of Satan...
135
00:12:43,983 --> 00:12:46,282
a legend of Faust and the devil.
136
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:02,928
Faust is played by Ricardo Cortez...
137
00:13:03,036 --> 00:13:06,029
and Satan by Adolphe Menjou.
138
00:13:06,139 --> 00:13:11,442
The devil offers Faust the opportunity of getting
whatever he desires in the world-
139
00:13:11,544 --> 00:13:14,446
wealth, power, prestige...
140
00:13:14,547 --> 00:13:16,516
and even a Marguerite.
141
00:13:31,931 --> 00:13:33,832
This is Lya De Putti...
142
00:13:33,933 --> 00:13:39,634
a Marguerite who is just a little different
from the Marguerites we have known.
143
00:13:52,652 --> 00:13:55,816
Faust is smitten
and gets his Marguerite...
144
00:13:55,922 --> 00:13:59,586
but her ambitions
reach far beyond Faust.
145
00:14:08,601 --> 00:14:10,502
D. W. Griffith...
146
00:14:10,603 --> 00:14:14,096
had his own personal view
of the battle of the sexes.
147
00:14:14,207 --> 00:14:17,735
He had fought it many times
and lost.
148
00:14:17,844 --> 00:14:19,813
By matching Marguerite
against the devil...
149
00:14:19,913 --> 00:14:22,473
he evened up the score.
150
00:14:22,582 --> 00:14:26,781
It was the only sure way Griffith knew
of having the woman lose.
151
00:14:36,996 --> 00:14:38,897
The change that had taken place...
152
00:14:38,998 --> 00:14:41,695
can be seen by comparing
Miss Gloria Swanson -
153
00:14:41,801 --> 00:14:45,101
just about the period of World War I -
154
00:14:49,275 --> 00:14:53,713
with Miss Gloria Swanson
eight years after the war.
155
00:14:53,813 --> 00:14:57,716
The same Miss Swanson,
but quite a different love goddess.
156
00:15:02,222 --> 00:15:05,090
The scene is from
The Loves of Sunya...
157
00:15:05,191 --> 00:15:07,524
a Swanson production of 1926.
158
00:15:24,344 --> 00:15:27,940
Cecil B. DeMille
compared the excesses of the '20s...
159
00:15:28,047 --> 00:15:29,948
with the orgies of ancient Rome...
160
00:15:30,049 --> 00:15:32,644
as the subject of his film
Manslaughter.
161
00:15:36,923 --> 00:15:42,226
He solemnly warned of the consequences
of this generation's behavior.
162
00:15:45,565 --> 00:15:47,830
Notice the two women on the right.
163
00:15:47,934 --> 00:15:51,336
But moralist or not,
DeMille was a showman...
164
00:15:51,437 --> 00:15:56,501
and never one to keep an audience in the dark
about the evils he was lamenting.
165
00:15:58,778 --> 00:16:02,374
He introduced the bathtub scene to movies
with Gloria Swanson...
166
00:16:02,482 --> 00:16:04,508
in Male and Female...
167
00:16:04,617 --> 00:16:09,317
and the nude bathing scene
became a trademark of the '20s.
168
00:16:13,626 --> 00:16:15,595
Clara Bow.
169
00:16:15,695 --> 00:16:19,530
Every heroine
very much in her own style.
170
00:16:29,242 --> 00:16:32,041
Esther Ralston.
171
00:16:35,882 --> 00:16:38,545
In his epic of the French Revolution,
Orphans of the Storm...
172
00:16:38,651 --> 00:16:42,247
D. W. Griffith
filled the bathtub with wine...
173
00:16:43,423 --> 00:16:46,791
as well as some left over young ladiesfrom Intolerance.
174
00:16:52,098 --> 00:16:56,058
Wine for Griffith;
milk for DeMille.
175
00:16:56,169 --> 00:16:59,662
The most famous movie bath of them all
was to be Claudette Colbert's...
176
00:16:59,772 --> 00:17:01,741
in The Sign of the Cross.
177
00:17:22,328 --> 00:17:24,229
Even in the late '20s...
178
00:17:24,330 --> 00:17:27,789
standards in Europe continued to be
different from those in the United States...
179
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:30,597
with its basically puritan background.
180
00:17:33,873 --> 00:17:36,399
This is Fritz Lang's Spies...
181
00:17:36,509 --> 00:17:39,001
produced in Germany in 1927.
182
00:17:42,382 --> 00:17:47,013
These charming ladies appearedin the American film Ben-Hur...
183
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:51,854
but an export version
that was never shown in the United States.
184
00:17:54,026 --> 00:17:57,394
The same scene
was even shot two different ways.
185
00:17:57,497 --> 00:18:00,467
This is from the Faust legend
you have just seen.
186
00:18:00,566 --> 00:18:04,196
Lya De Putti playedthe European versionlike this...
187
00:18:04,303 --> 00:18:07,364
and America
saw her like this.
188
00:18:09,409 --> 00:18:11,310
In Europe itself...
189
00:18:11,411 --> 00:18:13,380
they were going a little further...
190
00:18:19,685 --> 00:18:22,052
making pictures like Casanova...
191
00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:25,891
and Small Town Sinner.
192
00:18:25,992 --> 00:18:29,087
And this is from Abel Gance's
End of the World.
193
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:33,530
European films differed not only
in the extent of nudity they permitted...
194
00:18:33,633 --> 00:18:36,626
but in their portrayal
of human behavior.
195
00:18:36,736 --> 00:18:41,470
In Diary of a Lost Girl,
made in Germany in 1929...
196
00:18:41,574 --> 00:18:44,408
a young girl with no money
and no place to turn...
197
00:18:44,510 --> 00:18:47,309
goes to the address
of the only friend she has.
198
00:18:47,413 --> 00:18:51,908
Unknown to her,
it is a bordello.
199
00:18:56,622 --> 00:19:00,684
Its madam could have played Grandma
in any American film.
200
00:19:01,761 --> 00:19:06,699
But no American-made film
could or would have presented a brothel...
201
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,291
in such a sympathetic manner.
202
00:19:20,980 --> 00:19:22,881
The girl is Louise Brooks...
203
00:19:22,982 --> 00:19:26,475
a young American actress who made
her most famous pictures in Europe.
204
00:19:26,586 --> 00:19:31,684
And the question is,
will she accept the bordello or not?
205
00:20:00,386 --> 00:20:05,086
One European film, made at the end of this period,
caused a sensation in the United States.
206
00:20:05,191 --> 00:20:10,494
It was Ecstasy, famed forits numerous encounters with the censors.
207
00:20:10,596 --> 00:20:13,498
It starred one of the most
beautiful women in the world-
208
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:15,568
Hedy Lamarr.
209
00:20:32,852 --> 00:20:37,256
Afterwards, Miss Lamarr married
industrialist Fritz Mandl.
210
00:20:37,356 --> 00:20:43,091
He spent a fortune attempting to buy up and destroyall the prints of Ecstasy, but he failed.
211
00:20:43,195 --> 00:20:46,359
Even Benito Mussolini
had a personal print...
212
00:20:46,465 --> 00:20:48,525
and would not surrender it.
213
00:21:08,754 --> 00:21:13,124
In 1938 Miss Lamarr
was to create another sensation...
214
00:21:13,225 --> 00:21:18,596
this time for an outstanding performanceopposite Charles Boyer in Algiers.
215
00:21:18,698 --> 00:21:21,293
It was to make her an American star.
216
00:21:30,076 --> 00:21:34,036
The cancanfrom G. W. Pabst's L'Atlantide.
217
00:21:34,146 --> 00:21:36,445
With the coming of sound in 1929...
218
00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:39,451
dancing brought to the movies
new erotic possibilities.
219
00:22:16,255 --> 00:22:19,953
However, this film, L'Atlantide,
has another significance.
220
00:22:20,059 --> 00:22:23,359
Its star illustrates almost perfectly
the type of love goddess...
221
00:22:23,462 --> 00:22:26,523
who was next to dominate the movies.
222
00:22:27,833 --> 00:22:32,396
A public caught up in the booming,
wondrous, unbelievable '20s...
223
00:22:32,505 --> 00:22:34,064
was now demanding the unattainable.
224
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:38,399
The result was the creation
of an exotic image...
225
00:22:38,511 --> 00:22:42,881
a woman not to be loved
but worshipped, even feared.
226
00:22:44,216 --> 00:22:46,208
Antinea.
227
00:22:48,287 --> 00:22:52,987
Brigitte Helm was the first example
of this new, queen like goddess -
228
00:22:53,092 --> 00:22:56,426
beautiful, cold and deadly.
229
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:03,799
She toys with her male captives...
230
00:23:03,903 --> 00:23:07,772
and offers each his freedom
if he can win at chess.
231
00:23:07,873 --> 00:23:10,604
Those who lose belong to her.
232
00:23:13,412 --> 00:23:15,381
Check.
233
00:23:22,621 --> 00:23:24,590
Check.
234
00:23:26,225 --> 00:23:28,194
Check.
235
00:23:30,629 --> 00:23:32,598
Check.
236
00:23:35,401 --> 00:23:37,370
Check.
237
00:23:39,872 --> 00:23:41,841
Check.
238
00:23:48,748 --> 00:23:50,717
Checkmate.
239
00:23:51,884 --> 00:23:53,785
It was this queen like image...
240
00:23:53,886 --> 00:23:57,050
that was next to rule
the American film.
241
00:23:57,156 --> 00:24:01,150
The goddesses'appearance
and their manner were royal...
242
00:24:01,260 --> 00:24:04,287
but they were not always godlike
to start with.
243
00:24:04,396 --> 00:24:08,959
Even Greta Garbo did not start out
projecting this quality at all.
244
00:24:09,068 --> 00:24:12,800
In fact, here is the raw material-
245
00:24:13,839 --> 00:24:17,241
Great Garbo in her very first film...
246
00:24:17,343 --> 00:24:21,246
a simple Swedish comedyentitled Peter the Tramp...
247
00:24:21,347 --> 00:24:24,317
produced in 1922.
248
00:24:38,464 --> 00:24:42,196
Who then could have foretold
that within a few years...
249
00:24:42,301 --> 00:24:44,793
Miss Garbo would be shaped
into a legend?
250
00:24:45,271 --> 00:24:46,796
On the other hand...
251
00:24:46,906 --> 00:24:50,399
it might just have been possible
to recognize another queen like goddess...
252
00:24:50,509 --> 00:24:52,478
from this early film.
253
00:24:55,881 --> 00:24:59,511
It was The Blue Angel that was toturn Marlene Dietrich into a star.
254
00:25:01,086 --> 00:25:03,453
Opposite her was
the great Emil Jannings.
255
00:25:03,556 --> 00:25:06,151
He played a respectable,
aging schoolteacher...
256
00:25:06,258 --> 00:25:09,558
obsessed with a nightclub singer
and destined to be destroyed by her.
257
00:26:39,919 --> 00:26:44,152
Marlene Dietrich was royalty,
no matter what role she played.
258
00:26:44,256 --> 00:26:48,819
The Blue Angel was the first of her seven filmsto be directed by Josef von Sternberg...
259
00:26:48,928 --> 00:26:51,329
and it was he who brought her to America.
260
00:27:05,744 --> 00:27:08,578
I'm sorry, miss,
but I don't understand a word.
261
00:27:08,681 --> 00:27:10,343
Will you please go away.
262
00:27:15,955 --> 00:27:18,789
It's a shame, allowing such women
on a first-class train.
263
00:27:18,891 --> 00:27:20,792
What's the matter with 'em,
Parson?
264
00:27:20,893 --> 00:27:24,386
I imagine the honorable divine
objects to their morals.
265
00:27:24,496 --> 00:27:28,490
Well, I thought they were pretty good-looking-
at least Shanghai Lily is.
266
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,502
Do you mean to say that Shanghai Lily
is on this train?
267
00:27:31,603 --> 00:27:33,504
Hot water, sir?
268
00:27:33,605 --> 00:27:35,506
Confound it, sir,
that's Shanghai Lily!
269
00:27:35,607 --> 00:27:38,568
For the last fortnight I've been attending
a man who went out of his mind...
270
00:27:38,610 --> 00:27:40,602
after spending every penny on her.
271
00:27:43,716 --> 00:27:47,619
- How have I changed?
- You know, I wish I could describe it.
272
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,054
Well, Doc, I've changed my name.
273
00:27:51,156 --> 00:27:53,352
- Married?
- No.
274
00:27:55,294 --> 00:28:00,665
It took more than one man
to change my name to Shanghai Lily.
275
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:03,601
193 1.
276
00:28:03,702 --> 00:28:06,331
The film -Morocco.
277
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,001
May I offer you
this glass of champagne, mademoiselle?
278
00:28:42,708 --> 00:28:44,677
Thank you.
279
00:28:45,944 --> 00:28:47,913
À votre santé.
280
00:29:09,735 --> 00:29:12,330
- May I have this?
- Of course.
281
00:29:39,998 --> 00:29:41,967
Bravo!
282
00:29:45,104 --> 00:29:49,508
The real period
of wide-open sex in America had arrived.
283
00:29:49,608 --> 00:29:52,510
It was not the '20s,
as generally believed...
284
00:29:52,611 --> 00:29:56,343
but actually the four years
from 1930 to 1933.
285
00:29:57,382 --> 00:29:59,942
The new love goddesses
were homegrown...
286
00:30:00,052 --> 00:30:05,286
and no love goddess was more American
than the blonde bombshell Jean Harlow.
287
00:30:10,229 --> 00:30:13,028
Let's not talk about things
like that now.
288
00:30:13,132 --> 00:30:16,034
Now, wait a minute. I'll do anything
you ask me to, but I will not lift-
289
00:30:16,135 --> 00:30:19,037
I love that nose.
Oh, it's such a sweet nose.
290
00:30:19,138 --> 00:30:22,370
Nevertheless, whether the nose is sweet or not,
I'm not gonna live in your house.
291
00:30:22,474 --> 00:30:24,375
You might as well get that...
292
00:30:24,476 --> 00:30:26,377
straight.
293
00:30:26,478 --> 00:30:29,243
- You want me to be happy, don't you?
- Mm-hmm.
294
00:30:29,348 --> 00:30:31,817
- Then I'm not gonna live here.
- Mm-hmm.
295
00:30:38,190 --> 00:30:40,989
- You're not hungry, are you?
- No.
296
00:30:41,093 --> 00:30:42,994
I'm not either.
297
00:30:43,095 --> 00:30:45,496
Don't you just love Sunday afternoons?
298
00:30:45,597 --> 00:30:50,035
Everything quiet.
Nobody at home to disturb you.
299
00:30:50,135 --> 00:30:52,297
Madge, there's somethin'
I got to tell you-
300
00:30:52,404 --> 00:30:55,169
You were goin' away, weren't you?
Packin' to leave.
301
00:30:55,274 --> 00:30:58,733
Oh, honey lamb,
you mustn't do that.
302
00:30:58,844 --> 00:31:01,746
What would Father say
if he came back and found you gone?
303
00:31:01,847 --> 00:31:03,748
And I would cry.
304
00:31:03,849 --> 00:31:05,750
Cry!
305
00:31:05,851 --> 00:31:09,253
The owner of the lazy
Southern accent is Miss Bette Davis.
306
00:31:09,354 --> 00:31:12,324
The film -Cabin in the Cotton.
Her costar-Richard Barthelmess.
307
00:31:12,424 --> 00:31:14,393
I don't know.
308
00:31:15,794 --> 00:31:18,696
Come up to my room for a minute.
309
00:31:18,797 --> 00:31:21,289
I wanna talk to you about somethin'.
310
00:31:25,837 --> 00:31:28,534
Turn your back and look at
those snapshots for a minute...
311
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,666
while I get into
somethin' more restful.
312
00:31:31,944 --> 00:31:34,106

00:35:46,765 --> 00:35:50,497
The four years
were full of irreverent comedies...
357
00:35:50,602 --> 00:35:54,232
and one of the most charming
of the comediennes was Carole Lombard.
358
00:35:56,074 --> 00:35:59,408
By now, Clara Bow's bloomers
were out of style.
359
00:35:59,511 --> 00:36:02,845
It was a new era in fashion -
the lingerie era -
360
00:36:02,948 --> 00:36:05,884
and just as bathing scenes
had been part of the '20s...
361
00:36:05,984 --> 00:36:09,819
so, in the early '30s,
the filmmakers usually found an excuse...
362
00:36:09,921 --> 00:36:13,187
to get the heroine
down to her step-ins.
363
00:36:20,999 --> 00:36:23,491
The film is No Man of Her Own-
364
00:36:23,602 --> 00:36:25,503
Hello?
365
00:36:25,604 --> 00:36:29,666
and brought Carole Lombard and Clark Gable
together for the first and only time in the movies.
366
00:36:29,774 --> 00:36:32,005
Who is it?
367
00:36:33,044 --> 00:36:35,070
Is, uh, this Miss Randall's cabin?
368
00:36:36,882 --> 00:36:39,351
Yes!
369
00:36:39,451 --> 00:36:42,250
- Can I come in?
- Well-
370
00:36:42,354 --> 00:36:44,721
Just a minute!
Just a minute!
371
00:36:46,391 --> 00:36:48,360
Now you can come in!
372
00:36:48,460 --> 00:36:51,555
The plot it selfis an example...
373
00:36:51,663 --> 00:36:54,462
of society’s changing standards.
374
00:36:54,566 --> 00:36:57,126
Gable has come to spend the weekend...
375
00:36:57,235 --> 00:37:01,434
but thus far Miss Lombard
has not succumbed to his charm.
376
00:37:01,540 --> 00:37:03,941
Why keep kidding around like this?
377
00:37:04,042 --> 00:37:05,943
I'm not kidding.
378
00:37:06,044 --> 00:37:10,209
Only, well, you just walk in
and pick up a girl...
379
00:37:10,315 --> 00:37:12,409
and walk out.
380
00:37:12,517 --> 00:37:14,486
Is that fair?
381
00:37:18,056 --> 00:37:20,958
No. No, you're right.
382
00:37:21,059 --> 00:37:23,460
Ah, well, forget it.
383
00:37:23,562 --> 00:37:25,463
Anyway, we've had a little fun.
384
00:37:25,564 --> 00:37:29,467
I've seen Glendale,
had a couple of laughs.
385
00:37:29,568 --> 00:37:31,537
I'll be seeing you around sometime.
386
00:37:32,904 --> 00:37:34,805
So long, honey.
387
00:37:34,906 --> 00:37:36,807
Why don't you be a sport?
388
00:37:36,908 --> 00:37:38,809
Why don't you give a girl a break?
389
00:37:38,910 --> 00:37:41,470
Why don't you take a chance?
390
00:37:41,580 --> 00:37:43,981
I don't get you.
391
00:37:44,082 --> 00:37:46,051
Have you ever gambled?
392
00:37:47,419 --> 00:37:49,650
Hey, I'll gamble on anything.
393
00:37:49,754 --> 00:37:52,223
Why don't you gamble with me?
394
00:37:54,793 --> 00:37:56,762
All right.
395
00:37:59,297 --> 00:38:02,028
- Heads we do, tails we-
- Get married!
396
00:38:04,436 --> 00:38:06,337
Right.
397
00:38:06,438 --> 00:38:08,407
I never go back on a coin.
398
00:38:21,953 --> 00:38:24,252
Comedies got earthier.
399
00:38:24,356 --> 00:38:27,258
The public wanted to know more,
to hear more...
400
00:38:27,359 --> 00:38:29,260
and to see more.
401
00:38:29,361 --> 00:38:31,387
The picture -Professional Sweetheart.
402
00:38:31,496 --> 00:38:36,161
Ginger Rogers is the Purity Girl,
America's radio sweetheart...
403
00:38:36,267 --> 00:38:39,863
married for publicity
through a nationwide contest.
404
00:38:39,971 --> 00:38:42,873
But the groom has caught on
that he has been duped...
405
00:38:42,974 --> 00:38:45,375
and takes matters into his own hands.
406
00:38:45,477 --> 00:38:48,641
Gonna make you into the kind of woman
I thought you was-a good woman.
407
00:38:48,747 --> 00:38:51,148
- A woman that-
- Got a cigarette? I'm simply dying-
408
00:38:51,249 --> 00:38:53,684
No!
409
00:38:53,785 --> 00:38:56,277
Any liquor?
410
00:38:56,388 --> 00:38:58,823
Oh, dear.
411
00:38:58,923 --> 00:39:04,123
- Smokin' and drinkin' and-
- Mmm, smokin' and drinkin' and men.
412
00:39:04,229 --> 00:39:06,198
And men?
413
00:39:06,297 --> 00:39:08,266
How-H-How many?
414
00:39:09,334 --> 00:39:11,394
Mmm, I don't remember.
415
00:39:11,503 --> 00:39:13,597
Hundreds.
416
00:39:15,807 --> 00:39:18,868
Stop that!
Ain't ya got no decency at all?
417
00:39:22,947 --> 00:39:25,178
After all, you're my husband,
aren't you?
418
00:39:27,018 --> 00:39:28,987
Here.
419
00:39:34,993 --> 00:39:38,657
- Give me that.
- Give those to me. Give them to me.
420
00:39:38,763 --> 00:39:41,028
Give them to me.
421
00:39:41,132 --> 00:39:44,068
All right.
422
00:39:44,169 --> 00:39:48,300
Comedy roles like these
were Miss Rogers's first success.
423
00:39:48,406 --> 00:39:50,841
And though this type of movie
was soon to disappear...
424
00:39:50,942 --> 00:39:54,174
she went on to the top,
dancing with Fred Astaire...
425
00:39:54,279 --> 00:39:58,216
and winning an Oscar
for a dramatic role as Kitty Foyle.
426
00:40:00,985 --> 00:40:03,887
- Stop it!
- Make me. Make me, you great big-
I'll dance if I like.
427
00:40:03,988 --> 00:40:07,322
I want to get-
Let go of me! Stop it! Stop it!
428
00:40:07,425 --> 00:40:10,520
- Ouch!
- You great, big-Oh! Oh!
429
00:40:10,628 --> 00:40:13,120
If I ever lose my temper, I'll just-
430
00:40:13,231 --> 00:40:16,326
One of these days,
I'll show you just how-
431
00:40:23,975 --> 00:40:26,137
Glory, baby. Glory.
432
00:40:27,846 --> 00:40:30,839
Oh, God, please don't let her die.
433
00:40:30,949 --> 00:40:32,918

Jeanette MacDonald's name
usually brings to mind Nelson Eddy...
439
00:40:52,337 --> 00:40:57,207
and memories of sentimental
and not particularly sexy operettas.
440
00:40:57,308 --> 00:40:59,243
But that was to come later.
441
00:40:59,344 --> 00:41:04,442
During these years, Miss MacDonald's
comedies blended sex and sophistication.
442
00:41:04,549 --> 00:41:07,644
Among them, Rouben Mamoulian's
Love Me Tonight.
443
00:41:14,292 --> 00:41:16,989
Princess! Help! Help!
444
00:41:17,095 --> 00:41:20,657
Oh, my goodness. She-She's fainted again.
445
00:41:22,901 --> 00:41:25,928
You know, I had an elder brother
who used to faint quite often.
446
00:41:26,037 --> 00:41:28,006
- He was a "nip-omaniac."
- A what?
447
00:41:28,106 --> 00:41:30,905
A "nip-omaniac."
He used to go around pinching things.
448
00:41:31,009 --> 00:41:34,468
Oh, I had a friend like that.
He used to pinch business girls in elevators.
449
00:41:34,579 --> 00:41:37,048
- They had to send him to a cooler climate.
- No.
450
00:41:37,148 --> 00:41:39,228
- I knew a girl-
- This is no time for reminiscences.
451
00:41:39,317 --> 00:41:41,786
Go and get a couple of footmen
to carry her upstairs.
452
00:41:41,886 --> 00:41:43,855
But you gave the servants
the afternoon off.
453
00:41:43,955 --> 00:41:46,475
Our footmen are playing football
against the old soldier's home.
454
00:41:46,558 --> 00:41:49,027
Well, you two carry her upstairs!
Someone fetch a doctor.
455
00:41:49,127 --> 00:41:51,289
You carry her. I'll get the doctor.
456
00:41:54,132 --> 00:41:56,363
Valentine, can you go for a doctor?
457
00:41:56,467 --> 00:41:58,868
- Certainly. Bring him right in.
- Ye-No, no.
458
00:41:58,970 --> 00:42:01,337
No, it's for Jeanette.
She's fainted again.
459
00:42:01,439 --> 00:42:03,340
Oh.
460
00:42:04,375 --> 00:42:08,039
Princess, permit me to introduce
Dr. Armand de Fontinac.
461
00:42:08,146 --> 00:42:10,115
- Your Highness.
- Doctor.
462
00:42:18,156 --> 00:42:20,887
And now, my dear,
remove your dress.
463
00:42:20,992 --> 00:42:22,893
- My what?
- Your dress.
464
00:42:22,994 --> 00:42:25,429
- Huh?
- There's no occasion for distress.
465
00:42:25,530 --> 00:42:28,967
- Is that necessary?
- Very. Yes.
466
00:42:29,067 --> 00:42:33,767
As long as professional ethics apply,
I'll see you with only a doctor's eye.
467
00:42:33,872 --> 00:42:35,841
Oh, dear.
468
00:42:46,751 --> 00:42:49,448
The doctor's eye is satisfied.
469
00:42:49,554 --> 00:42:51,580
Now I'll hear your heart.
470
00:42:51,689 --> 00:42:54,921
Don't sigh.
471
00:42:57,295 --> 00:42:59,730
Very good. Nothing wrong here.
472
00:42:59,831 --> 00:43:01,993
Now I'll take your pulse, my dear.
473
00:43:03,668 --> 00:43:06,263
Perfectly regular.
Right on the tick.
474
00:43:06,371 --> 00:43:09,967
Madam, oh, madam,
you cannot be sick.
475
00:43:10,074 --> 00:43:13,909
Then why do I lie awake in bed,
and why does blood rush to my head?
476
00:43:14,012 --> 00:43:17,312
- At night?
- Quite right. At night.
477
00:43:18,616 --> 00:43:23,611
And why does music make me sad,
and why do love songs drive me mad?
478
00:43:23,721 --> 00:43:26,850
- At night.
- Quite right. At night.
479
00:43:27,892 --> 00:43:32,296
- And frequently I faint.
- That's quaint.

Oh, this won't do.
485
00:43:51,215 --> 00:43:54,845
- Are you married?
- My husband died three years ago.
486
00:43:54,953 --> 00:43:58,219
- At 16 I was wed.
- You've been a widow for three years?
487
00:43:58,323 --> 00:44:01,919
- Three years the prince is dead.
- You were very happy with your spouse?
488
00:44:02,026 --> 00:44:06,225
- He was the son of a noble house.
- Hmm.

00:44:06,331 --> 00:44:08,960
It was the happiness of great peace.

My better half.
492
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,466
And here you have his photograph.
493
00:44:28,553 --> 00:44:32,012
Of all the love goddesses
of comedy, one was to dominate.
494
00:44:32,123 --> 00:44:35,890
With the right kind of encouragement,
she'll throw discretion to the winds.
495
00:44:35,994 --> 00:44:37,986
And her hips to the north,
east, south and west!
496
00:44:38,096 --> 00:44:40,998
It's the only show on earth
where the tickets are made of asbestos.
497
00:44:41,099 --> 00:44:45,059
She was a goddess
molded by two opposing forces -
498
00:44:45,169 --> 00:44:49,334
one, the demand for
an ever-increasing frankness about sex...
499
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:54,071
the other,
a traditional reluctance to face it openly.
500
00:44:54,178 --> 00:44:56,704
The result had to be satire.
501
00:44:56,814 --> 00:45:01,275
Even today, Mae West is remembered
by people who never saw her...
502
00:45:01,386 --> 00:45:03,719
as the sexiest of the love goddesses.
503
00:45:03,821 --> 00:45:06,916
In actual fact, it was not so much
that she was sexy...
504
00:45:07,025 --> 00:45:09,756
but that she was funny about sex.
505
00:45:09,861 --> 00:45:12,922
If I wasn't a married man,
I could go for you, baby.
506
00:45:13,031 --> 00:45:15,023
No wisecracks now.
507
00:45:20,538 --> 00:45:22,473
Penny for your thoughts.
508
00:45:23,508 --> 00:45:26,376
Sit back, watch...
509
00:45:26,477 --> 00:45:30,642

completely dominated the early '30s.

Suckers.
529
00:46:45,556 --> 00:46:48,355
Never met anybody
just like you before. You're different.
530
00:46:48,459 --> 00:46:50,979
Anything different
always costs more, but it's worth it.
531
00:46:52,497 --> 00:46:54,796
Oh, uh, by the way, honey,
you married or single?
532
00:46:54,899 --> 00:46:57,994
- Married five times.
- Five times?
533
00:46:58,102 --> 00:47:01,038
- Wedding bells must sound like an alarm clock to ya.
- - Oh!
534
00:47:01,139 --> 00:47:03,301
I don't suppose you believe
in marriage, do ya?
535
00:47:03,407 --> 00:47:05,433
Only as a last resort.
536
00:47:05,543 --> 00:47:07,478
Uh, what do you do for a living?
537
00:47:07,860 --> 00:47:10,980
Oh, uh, sort of a politician.
538
00:47:11,082 --> 00:47:13,950
- Oh, I don't like work either.
- Oh.
539
00:47:14,051 --> 00:47:17,488
Oh, uh, you know,
I like to get around and travel...
540
00:47:17,588 --> 00:47:20,285
and believe me, I've been places
and seen things.
541
00:47:20,391 --> 00:47:23,919
Mm-hmm?
I've been things and seen places.
542
00:47:24,028 --> 00:47:26,691
That sort of evens us up, huh?
543
00:47:26,797 --> 00:47:28,698
Mmm.
544
00:47:28,799 --> 00:47:30,768
Sit down.
545
00:47:34,205 --> 00:47:36,174
I didn't get your name.
546
00:47:37,975 --> 00:47:40,809
Then what about tomorrow?
For breakfast, lunch and dinner. Anything.
547
00:47:40,912 --> 00:47:43,313
Oh, let me see.
548
00:47:43,414 --> 00:47:46,179
Breakfast I have in bed,
so that's out.
549
00:47:46,284 --> 00:47:48,844
I don't eat lunch,
and dinner I -
550
00:47:48,953 --> 00:47:52,082
Well, make it supper tomorrow night.
551
00:47:52,190 --> 00:47:54,659
That's a date.
And we'll go out.
552
00:47:54,759 --> 00:47:57,160
I like sophisticated men
to take me out.
553
00:47:57,261 --> 00:47:59,628
Well, I'm not really sophisticated.
554
00:47:59,730 --> 00:48:02,199
Well, you're not really out yet either.
555
00:48:04,368 --> 00:48:06,337
- You're a liar!
- Say, listen, you.
556
00:48:06,437 --> 00:48:08,770
A better dame than you
once called me a liar...
557
00:48:08,873 --> 00:48:11,342
and they had to sew her up
in 12 different places.
558
00:48:11,442 --> 00:48:14,173
You're lucky I'm a little more refined
than I used to be.
559
00:48:14,278 --> 00:48:16,543
And if you was as much a lady as I am...
560
00:48:16,647 --> 00:48:19,207
you'd get out of here
before I get real sore.
561
00:48:19,317 --> 00:48:23,721
- You haven't a streak of decency in you.
- I don't show my good points to strangers.
562
00:48:24,770 --> 00:48:26,985
I'll trouble you to scram.
563
00:48:30,027 --> 00:48:32,189
Just a minute.
564
00:48:32,296 --> 00:48:35,994
I realize there's only one thing
that will influence you to leave Kirk alone.
565
00:48:37,268 --> 00:48:39,237
How much?
566
00:48:47,945 --> 00:48:50,244
- Oh, Beulah.
- Yes, ma'am.
567
00:48:50,348 --> 00:48:52,317
Peel me a grape.
568
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,455
- Hello?
- Miss Tira calling.
569
00:48:58,556 --> 00:49:00,457
Good. Put her on.
570
00:49:00,558 --> 00:49:03,687
Oh, uh, Mr. Clayton?
571
00:49:03,794 --> 00:49:07,959
I've been thinking over everything you said,
and, uh, I made my decision.
572
00:49:08,065 --> 00:49:10,125
Good. I'm glad you made up
your mind so quickly.
573
00:49:10,234 --> 00:49:12,965
Oh, I'm very quick in a slow way.
574
00:49:13,070 --> 00:49:16,438
You see, I can't discuss it over the phone.
575
00:49:16,540 --> 00:49:19,635
It's, uh-It's got a lot of angles to it.
576
00:49:19,744 --> 00:49:21,940
Uh, you better come up and see me.
577
00:49:22,046 --> 00:49:26,916
Well, I'll be glad to. In fact, I'll come over
right away if it's convenient for you.
578
00:49:27,018 --> 00:49:28,987
Most convenient.
579
00:49:29,086 --> 00:49:33,080
I'll tell you this much.
You're-You're gonna like what I got in mind.
580
00:49:33,190 --> 00:49:35,091
Mm-hmm.
581
00:49:35,192 --> 00:49:38,162
I'll be ready. Good-bye.
582
00:49:39,263 --> 00:49:41,232
Mmm.
583
00:49:57,281 --> 00:50:02,515
By 1933,
the four-year period was coming to an end.
584
00:50:02,620 --> 00:50:07,388
Although this film, Baby Face, was setagainst a background of the Depression...
585
00:50:07,491 --> 00:50:09,392
its treatment of sex...
586
00:50:09,493 --> 00:50:14,591
represents the culmination of the wide-open
attitudes that had begun in the '20s.
587
00:50:14,699 --> 00:50:17,794
I have good references.
If I could only see him.
588
00:50:17,902 --> 00:50:20,895
You can wait if you want to,
but he's out to lunch.
589
00:50:27,511 --> 00:50:30,379
What part of the South
are you from, Mr. Pratt?
590
00:50:32,350 --> 00:50:34,342
Tallapoosa, Georgia.
591
00:50:34,452 --> 00:50:37,081
I know some Pratts where I come from.
592
00:50:37,188 --> 00:50:39,555
Where was that?
593
00:50:39,657 --> 00:50:43,424
Oh, maybe I'll tell you someday
when I know you better.
594
00:50:43,527 --> 00:50:46,691
- Say, I like it here. How about a job?
- Oh, we don't-
595
00:50:46,797 --> 00:50:50,598
Oh, now, don't tell me in this great big
building there ain't someplace for me.
596
00:50:53,437 --> 00:50:55,429
Have you had any experience?
597
00:50:55,539 --> 00:50:57,508
Plenty.
598
00:51:01,011 --> 00:51:04,277
I'd rather wait in there.
I hate crowds.
599
00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:07,719
Don't you?
600
00:51:08,986 --> 00:51:11,785
The boss won't be back for an hour.
601
00:51:11,889 --> 00:51:15,121
Well, then why don't we
go in and talk this over?
602
00:51:35,246 --> 00:51:38,842
Miss Stanwyck is to proceed floor by floor...
603
00:51:38,949 --> 00:51:42,010
using the same technique
until she reaches the top.
604
00:51:43,287 --> 00:51:48,157
We haven't time for every flight,
but we have chosen a few of the best.
605
00:51:50,428 --> 00:51:53,455
This is the Benson mortgage.
Will you look it over now?
606
00:51:53,564 --> 00:51:56,227
Is the insurance clause here?
607
00:51:58,068 --> 00:52:00,060
Everything's incorporated in it.
608
00:52:04,708 --> 00:52:06,677
Stick around after 5:00.
609
00:52:11,515 --> 00:52:13,711
Oh, not here.
Somebody might-
610
00:52:32,536 --> 00:52:36,439
- Has Mr. Brody left yet?
- No, Mr. Stevens. I believe he's still here.
611
00:52:43,647 --> 00:52:45,616
Brody.
612
00:52:54,625 --> 00:52:56,594
Brody.
613
00:52:59,597 --> 00:53:02,123
This is an outrage.
A man in your position.
614
00:53:02,233 --> 00:53:04,202
Get your check at once.
615
00:53:10,441 --> 00:53:12,410
Young woman.
616
00:53:21,118 --> 00:53:23,917
We've no place here
for a girl of your sort.
617
00:53:42,873 --> 00:53:44,842
Ann.
618
00:53:58,289 --> 00:54:00,758
Oh, how could I?
619
00:54:03,093 --> 00:54:05,858
Was he... your first sweetheart?
620
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,369
This is very distressing.
621
00:54:12,770 --> 00:54:17,140
I'm sure you must see how impossible
it would be for you to remain at the bank.
622
00:54:17,241 --> 00:54:19,574
But what will I do?
623
00:54:19,677 --> 00:54:23,079
- Have you no family in New York?
- No. I'm all alone here.
624
00:54:23,180 --> 00:54:25,479
I haven't any friends,
and I haven't any money.
625
00:54:27,084 --> 00:54:29,053
I shall have to think this over.
626
00:54:38,729 --> 00:54:40,755
Will you tell me where you live?
627
00:54:40,864 --> 00:54:44,426
My telephone number
is Schuyler 3-2215.
628
00:54:51,375 --> 00:54:54,470
The Depression reshaped America's attitudes.
629
00:54:54,578 --> 00:54:59,175
The consequences of a people
having to face breadlines and starvation...
630
00:54:59,283 --> 00:55:02,253
were to be a tightening up
of their values.
631
00:55:05,522 --> 00:55:10,551
The American audience no longer
would accept a freewheeling approach to sex.
632
00:55:10,661 --> 00:55:13,324
This attitude brought about
the Production Code...
633
00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:16,161
an age of innocence...
634
00:55:16,266 --> 00:55:18,360
and a brand-new love goddess.
635
00:55:26,944 --> 00:55:29,140
Oh.
636
00:55:29,246 --> 00:55:31,306
Oh, he's elegant.
637
00:55:31,415 --> 00:55:33,384
Are-Are you sure you like him?
638
00:55:33,484 --> 00:55:35,544
I'm just crazy about him.
639
00:55:35,653 --> 00:55:39,021
I'm awful crazy about you too, Daddy.
640
00:55:39,123 --> 00:55:41,319
I've had such a good time.
641
00:55:42,626 --> 00:55:46,495
Well, now-now you go to sleep.
And I'll be in the next room if you want me.
642
00:55:46,597 --> 00:55:48,498
Night, Daddy.
643
00:55:48,599 --> 00:55:51,398
It was the period of Shirley Temple...
644
00:55:51,502 --> 00:55:54,301
Judy Garland and Andy Hardy...
645
00:55:54,405 --> 00:55:56,738
Deanna Durbin...
646
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,969
and the top love goddess of 1937...
647
00:56:00,077 --> 00:56:02,171
Snow White.
648
00:56:02,279 --> 00:56:06,216
From True Heart Susie we had comefull circle to True Heart Susie.
649
00:56:06,316 --> 00:56:09,150
The love goddess
was now the girl next door.
650
00:56:13,090 --> 00:56:16,959
It was just a bit partin a movie called They Won't Forget.
651
00:56:17,061 --> 00:56:19,997
The entire role lasted only a few minutes.
652
00:56:20,097 --> 00:56:22,760
But it was to make Lana Turner a star.
653
00:56:27,204 --> 00:56:32,507
The love goddess had become a normal,
well-shaped, well-rounded girl...
654
00:56:32,609 --> 00:56:35,340
and her name was Betty Grable.
655
00:56:35,446 --> 00:56:37,415
So let's give 'em three big ones.
656
00:56:37,514 --> 00:56:41,451
Crew! Rah, rah, rah! Crew, crew, crew!
657
00:56:45,155 --> 00:56:47,215

- ♪ College swing ♪
- ♪ What's that you call it ♪♪
662
00:57:02,573 --> 00:57:05,168
The girl next door was a heroine...
663
00:57:05,275 --> 00:57:08,040
with whom you flirted
and whom you married.
664
00:57:08,145 --> 00:57:12,913
But because she could not say or do what
the love goddess of the early '30s could do...
665
00:57:13,016 --> 00:57:18,011
her sex appeal could only come about
by emphasizing her physical beauty.
666
00:57:19,990 --> 00:57:22,459
There were sweaters...
667
00:57:22,559 --> 00:57:24,960
and there were sarongs...
668
00:57:25,062 --> 00:57:28,191
and never-never lands
where a girl could be startled...
669
00:57:28,298 --> 00:57:30,767
by so little as a kiss.
670
00:57:34,772 --> 00:57:37,071
- Kiss?
- A kiss is something that-
671
00:57:37,174 --> 00:57:41,737
Well, you just don't see it around.
It's something that-something you do.
672
00:57:44,047 --> 00:57:46,016
Kiss?
673
00:57:48,485 --> 00:57:51,148
That's a kiss.
674
00:57:56,460 --> 00:57:58,429
Then, for a second time...
675
00:57:58,529 --> 00:58:01,658
a world war crushed
an age of innocence.
676
00:58:06,136 --> 00:58:11,632
It was time for the love goddesses
to return to the great tradition.
677
00:58:12,743 --> 00:58:14,712
Me?
678
00:58:14,812 --> 00:58:16,781
Miss Rita Hayworth.
679
00:58:19,349 --> 00:58:21,511
Sure, I'm decent.
680
00:58:21,618 --> 00:58:24,554
A second cycle was beginning.
681
00:58:24,655 --> 00:58:27,147
Once again the brakes were off.
682
00:58:27,257 --> 00:58:29,692
And with gathering momentum
into the '60s...
683
00:58:29,793 --> 00:58:32,092
moral restrictions were to be loosened.
684
00:58:32,196 --> 00:58:35,689
♪ Put the blame on Mame ♪
685
00:58:35,799 --> 00:58:40,703
♪ Mame gave a chump
such an ice-cold no ♪
686
00:58:40,804 --> 00:58:43,933

687
00:58:44,041 --> 00:58:48,911
♪ So you can
put the blame on Mame, boys ♪♪
688
00:58:49,012 --> 00:58:51,982
Only one love goddess was to span the period...
689
00:58:52,082 --> 00:58:54,813
from the age of innocence to the '60s -
690
00:58:54,918 --> 00:58:57,945
from National Velvet to Cleopatra-
691
00:58:58,055 --> 00:59:02,925
Elizabeth Taylor, probably the most beautiful
love goddess of them all.
692
00:59:04,027 --> 00:59:06,861
We have chosen this film -
A Place in the Sun -
693
00:59:06,964 --> 00:59:09,024
to show the beginning of that change.
694
00:59:09,132 --> 00:59:11,033
Wow.
695
00:59:19,009 --> 00:59:22,173
- Hello.
- Hello.
696
00:59:25,682 --> 00:59:27,810
I see you had a misspent youth.
697
00:59:29,152 --> 00:59:31,053
I guess it was.
698
00:59:32,089 --> 00:59:34,923
Why all alone? Being exclusive?
699
00:59:40,330 --> 00:59:42,299
Being dramatic?
700
00:59:47,371 --> 00:59:49,863
Being blue?
701
00:59:49,973 --> 00:59:52,272
I'm just fooling around.
702
00:59:52,376 --> 00:59:55,778
- Maybe you'd like to play.
- Oh, no. I'll just watch you. Go ahead.
703
01:00:11,962 --> 01:00:15,023
Oh, Angela, if I could only tell you
how much I love you.
704
01:00:16,166 --> 01:00:18,931
If I could only tell you all.
705
01:00:19,036 --> 01:00:21,596
Tell mama.
706
01:00:21,705 --> 01:00:24,106
Tell mama all.
707
01:00:34,117 --> 01:00:37,849
No one can create
an illusion better than Hollywood.
708
01:00:37,955 --> 01:00:41,949
And the greatest illusions have been
the love goddesses themselves -
709
01:00:42,159 --> 01:00:45,789
images formed out of the clay
of ordinary mortals.
710
01:00:45,862 --> 01:00:49,026
A girl shaped into a symbol of sex.
711
01:00:49,132 --> 01:00:53,069
First the makeup department.
Then the publicity boys take over.
712
01:00:54,852 --> 01:00:58,000
Neither is particularly
concerned with the girl inside.
713
01:00:58,561 --> 01:01:01,121
They shoot a lot of cheesecake.
714
01:01:01,281 --> 01:01:04,145
Anything to catch the eye,
to show off the figure.
715
01:01:10,887 --> 01:01:14,016
Any prop will do,
preferably phallic.
716
01:01:14,124 --> 01:01:15,649
Miss Fourth of July.
717
01:01:15,759 --> 01:01:17,625
Miss Thanksgiving.
718
01:01:17,728 --> 01:01:21,392
Even Miss Idaho Potato.
719
01:01:23,767 --> 01:01:27,033
But acting-That's not so easy.
720
01:01:27,137 --> 01:01:29,368
That's work and patience...
721
01:01:29,473 --> 01:01:31,408
a willingness to learn.
722
01:01:32,509 --> 01:01:34,876
The girl inside is a little scared...
723
01:01:34,978 --> 01:01:37,607
but if there's talent,
it begins to show.
724
01:01:37,714 --> 01:01:40,616
- I got water in my ear.
- Huh?
725
01:01:40,717 --> 01:01:43,653
- I got water in my ear.
- Here, I'll shake it out.
726
01:01:43,754 --> 01:01:46,383
Oh!
727
01:01:46,490 --> 01:01:50,450
Ow, you're hurting me.
728
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,586
Joe, let go.
729
01:01:54,464 --> 01:01:56,865
He's kind of exciting and attractive.
730
01:01:57,968 --> 01:02:00,062
- Who's attractive? Who's exciting?
- Earl.
731
01:02:00,170 --> 01:02:02,503
- Who?
- Joe, you're strangling me.
732
01:02:02,606 --> 01:02:04,575
Who's attractive? Who's excitin'?
733
01:02:04,674 --> 01:02:06,643
- You.
- That's better.
734
01:02:08,345 --> 01:02:12,783
Even more than talent,
she must have a charm all her own.
735
01:02:12,883 --> 01:02:18,550
A manner so distinctive that even if
other women copy it, it is still hers.

01:02:45,182 --> 01:02:47,310
Less and less to herself.
743
01:02:53,023 --> 01:02:55,492

01:02:55,592 --> 01:02:57,720
though the girl inside may be tired.
745
01:02:59,396 --> 01:03:01,661
She must pose and smile.

01:03:01,765 --> 01:03:04,098
Pose and smile.

01:03:06,903 --> 01:03:09,566

It's sometimes hard to remember
that there was a girl inside.
750
01:03:38,468 --> 01:03:43,736
In the '50s again, a demand arose
for something more exotic and different-
751
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,708
for a love image larger than life.
752
01:03:46,810 --> 01:03:50,372
And the most delightful of all
the larger-than-life heroines...
753
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,847

and certainly the most successful
of all the childlike heroines...
791
01:07:04,207 --> 01:07:06,608
was Miss Audrey Hepburn.
792
01:07:06,710 --> 01:07:10,340
Her very appeal
was both as woman and child.
793
01:07:11,548 --> 01:07:15,315
The Mouth of Truth.
The legend is that if you're given to lying...
794

it'll be bitten off.

- Oh, you never hurt your hand.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

01:08:24,788 --> 01:08:26,723
- Okay?
- Yes.

01:08:26,823 --> 01:08:28,815
All right. Let's go. Look out!
805
01:08:30,927 --> 01:08:35,023
As the '60s loomed,
history continued to repeat itself.
806
01:08:35,131 --> 01:08:39,466
Room at the Top marked the beginningof a new period of frankness about sex.
807
01:08:39,717 --> 01:08:41,765
It's not that I don't want to.
808
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:43,772
It's just...
809
01:08:43,873 --> 01:08:46,433
I suppose I'm scared.
810
01:08:46,670 --> 01:08:50,708
I do love you, Joe. I do.
I'd do anything for you, Joe. Anything.
811
01:08:54,517 --> 01:08:57,487
Except what any girl will do
for the man she loves.
812
01:08:59,088 --> 01:09:02,718
Joe, how much do you love me?
813
01:09:02,826 --> 01:09:05,523
Very much.
814
01:09:05,628 --> 01:09:07,756
About a million pounds' worth.
815
01:09:11,501 --> 01:09:13,936
Joe, be gentle with me.
816
01:09:34,023 --> 01:09:36,959
Come on, Susan.
I think we better be going now.
817
01:09:38,572 --> 01:09:40,606
I don't want to go.
818
01:09:41,215 --> 01:09:43,292
I don't ever want to go.
819
01:09:45,935 --> 01:09:47,927
Isn't it super, Joe?
820
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,233
Now we really belong to each other.
821
01:09:50,340 --> 01:09:53,504
Really and truly till death do us part.
822
01:09:55,144 --> 01:09:57,841
Wasn't it wonderful?
823
01:09:57,947 --> 01:10:03,147
Wasn't it absolutely the most wonderful
thing that ever happened to you?
824
01:10:06,656 --> 01:10:09,285
- Wasn't it, Joe?
- Yes.
825
01:10:10,505 --> 01:10:12,295
Come on. Let's go.
826
01:10:18,301 --> 01:10:22,170
Just as Clara Bow
had symbolized the rebellion of the '20s...
827
01:10:22,272 --> 01:10:26,073
Brigitte Bardot was the
image of a new generation's rebellion.
828
01:10:26,175 --> 01:10:30,545
She disrobed in her films
as a child would disrobe - on impulse.
829
01:10:30,647 --> 01:10:33,776
And she brought the screen
to a stage of nudity...
830
01:10:33,883 --> 01:10:37,115
such as had not been seen
since the late 1920s in Europe.
831
01:10:38,221 --> 01:10:42,488
Oddly enough, the first acceptance of
nudity on the screen for a star...
832
01:10:42,592 --> 01:10:44,493
was in 19 13.
833
01:10:44,594 --> 01:10:47,758
Annette Kellerman,
the greatest woman athlete of her day...
834
01:10:47,864 --> 01:10:50,060
starred in Daughter of the Gods.
835
01:10:50,166 --> 01:10:53,295
But it was not until
some 40 years later...
836
01:10:53,403 --> 01:10:55,929
that Marilyn Monroe
posed for a calendar...
837
01:10:56,039 --> 01:11:01,034
and changed the entire concept
of what a star could and could not do.
838
01:11:01,144 --> 01:11:03,807
Her studio was shocked,
but the public...
839
01:11:03,913 --> 01:11:07,111
instead of rejecting,
accepted Marilyn as she was.
840
01:11:08,618 --> 01:11:12,555
Within a few years,
most of the love goddesses would conform.
841
01:11:12,655 --> 01:11:14,886
And even Ecstasy was to be made again...
842
01:11:14,991 --> 01:11:17,654
this time with Marla Moore.
843
01:11:19,345 --> 01:11:22,759
But nudity itself seemed
not exciting enough.
844
01:11:23,239 --> 01:11:27,376
And with Europe in the lead, filmmakers
took to shooting love scenes in the nude.
845
01:11:28,605 --> 01:11:30,870
Les Liaisons dangereuses.
846
01:11:32,875 --> 01:11:34,503
The Lovers.
847
01:11:34,611 --> 01:11:36,273
One Summer of Happiness.
848
01:11:36,379 --> 01:11:38,871
And God Created Woman.
849
01:11:40,617 --> 01:11:43,348
Combinations of beauty, violence...
850
01:11:43,453 --> 01:11:45,354
sex and nudity...
851
01:11:45,455 --> 01:11:48,118
became the formula of the '60s.
852
01:11:55,798 --> 01:12:00,429
In 30 years, the movies
had come full circle.
853
01:12:00,536 --> 01:12:05,270
If anything, the treatment of sex
was more overt than ever before.
854
01:12:05,375 --> 01:12:09,005
But England and the United States
held out a little longer.
855
01:12:10,046 --> 01:12:15,110
That is, until they could present sex
under the safer guise of satire.
856
01:12:21,257 --> 01:12:26,560
The picture is Expresso Bongo,
starring Laurence Harvey and Sylvia Syms.
857
01:12:26,663 --> 01:12:29,258
It was produced in England by Val Guest...
858
01:12:29,365 --> 01:12:32,130
a fine comedy
that won exceptional acclaim.
859
01:12:34,704 --> 01:12:37,299
♪ You can look at the goods
but don't touch ♪
860
01:12:38,508 --> 01:12:41,000
♪ Oh, the goods are the goods
but don't touch ♪
861
01:12:42,512 --> 01:12:46,005
♪ You wouldn't walk in Cartier's
and touch every stone ♪
862
01:12:46,115 --> 01:12:49,677
♪ You wouldn't stroke a Mayfair mink
that wasn't your own ♪
863
01:12:49,786 --> 01:12:53,052
♪ Which means unless you're serious
just leave the loot alone ♪
864
01:12:53,156 --> 01:12:55,091
♪ You can hover like an eagle ♪
865
01:12:55,191 --> 01:12:57,160
♪ But until you make it legal ♪
866
01:12:57,260 --> 01:12:59,889
♪ You can look at the goods
but don't touch ♪♪
867
01:13:02,865 --> 01:13:05,994
We could not leave this history of sex...
868
01:13:06,102 --> 01:13:08,799
without a tribute
to those many movie makers...
869
01:13:08,905 --> 01:13:12,364
who, faced with
no other choice but to use a symbol...
870
01:13:12,475 --> 01:13:14,808
have done so memorably.
871
01:13:14,911 --> 01:13:17,779
Among them, Busby Berkeley's
"Honeymoon Hotel."
872
01:13:28,918 --> 01:13:31,560
Ernst Lubitsch's The Love Parade.
873
01:13:34,197 --> 01:13:36,257
Do you hear those cannons?
874
01:13:36,365 --> 01:13:39,563
Yes. Isn't it glorious?
875
01:13:43,656 --> 01:13:47,275
Our bridal music.
876
01:13:50,346 --> 01:13:52,542
Carol Reed's The Stars Look Down.
877
01:13:59,555 --> 01:14:01,854
D. W. Griffith's The White Rose.
878
01:14:16,239 --> 01:14:19,471
But perhaps the best of allwas DeMille's Cleopatra.
879
01:14:25,548 --> 01:14:27,483
There's no one like you.
880
01:14:28,518 --> 01:14:31,454
It starred Claudette Colbert and Henry Wilcoxon.
881
01:14:51,970 --> 01:14:54,303
Who else but Cecil B. DeMille...
882
01:14:54,421 --> 01:14:57,391
would have added to
a simple seduction scene...
883
01:14:57,506 --> 01:15:01,170
a hundred extras, dancing girls...
884
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,538
four rows of galley slaves...
885
01:15:03,820 --> 01:15:05,789
and a drum?
886
01:16:24,606 --> 01:16:27,940
Our history is over-temporarily.
887
01:16:28,902 --> 01:16:33,206
To all the beautiful love goddesses
of the screen, thank you.
