Film Studies Daily Log

Tuesday, November 24

Students took a quiz over the Hays Code and the pre-Code period, using their notes from watching Complicated Women and their class handouts. We graded the quizzes in class and students turned them in along with their notes.

We then watched a clip from Tarzan and His Mate (1934), a sexual/racial fantasy which was an important target of the outcry against Hollywood immorality which led to strict enforcement of the Hays Code.
