Thursday Afternoon Film Series - Baby Face February 15, 2007

This February is “Bad Girl” month as the Williamsburg Regional Library Thursday Afternoon Film Series screens some delightfully naughty films from Hollywood’s censorship free “pre-code” era. This period, known for its risqué flicks, ran from the late 1920s to 1934 when the Motion Picture Production Code began to be rigidly enforced. The movies will be screened in the Williamsburg Library Theatre, 515 Scotland Street at 2 p.m. every Thursday throughout the month. They are free of charge and tickets or reservations are not required. Call the Adult Services Department at (757) 259-4050 for more information.

Feb. 15 – Baby Face (1933)
Barbara Stanwyck is memorably ruthless playing an unscrupulous girl from the bad side of town using her sultry feminine wiles and seductive baby face to sleep her way to the top. This movie, notorious for it’s sexually amoral storyline, was severely cut by the film censorship board before it’s initial release. We will be showing the recently rediscovered uncut version of this gritty film.
