[QUOTE="Toni, post: 311630, member: 82"] I also rewatched that movie not too long ago, and thought the opposite! Try to see it this way: Before the US censorship appeared, this kind of stories were allowed to happen in the movies: characters didn´t need to marry (or die at the end) to have a relationship (short or long). Everything was more like real life. But then things changed with the censors and a lot of stupid laws were established as a way to "create a standard of decency" for the post-war audiences... and that even lasted until the 60s! So that specific period of the Hollywood movies (20s into 30s) was a very special thing. I recently also watched "Sunrise" and "The Seventh Heaven", and was shocked to see how brave the plots were and how deeply the characters evolved despite they were made in the 20s. And yes, the first one got an Oscar (and both male leads were mega-hot, by the way!!!). [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]34246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]34247[/ATTACH] No, they didn´t star in "Melrose Place"! These two hotties starred in a lot of movies in the 20s thru the 50s, though other (uglier) actors were more popular!! Their names are George O´Brien and Charles Farrell.[/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
