Best Picture Winner Cavalcade (1933) was next for #PreCodeApril! Undoubtedly glorious in scale and ambition, it was surprisingly tepid in plot and character. Some parts were funny (esp the future planning on a boat on 14th April 1912…) but it mostly didn’t spend enough time in each historic period!

I absolutely LOVED Design for Living (1933), a polyamorous love story about a woman who falls in love with two men. It’s glamorous, it’s funny, it sort of avoids talking about sex by invoking a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ but this is clearly not stuck to…I love it! My favourite #PreCodeApril this year!!
