Blacks had a real,y hard time. Can you just think what would happen if a black guy got caught with a white women ? If a black guy got a white woman knocked up WOW he would have to leave the country
I don't believe French filmmakers ever had the equivalent of the Hays Code inflicted upon them. ZouZou for example is just an ordinary French melodrama but it has couple of instances of near toplessness and an African-American leading lady in Josephine Baker - It's almost like an alternate celluloid history of the 1930s. It’s amazing that expat Josephine Baker would have had to drink from a separate water fountain back home but in Paris she was treated like an equal. I can only imagine what it was like for black guys back then, going from the UK or USA to places like France for the first time where white women weren't off limits lol
Yeah, I like classic films - the '30s and '40s, some '50s - and I just love how women looked during those times, so pre-Code Hollywood films where topics of sex and sexuality were openly explored are my favourites. It wasn’t long before I got interested in vintage erotica/vintage porn - THE OLD FILM COMPANY is one of many shops here in the UK that sell vintage porn and Hollywood films on 8mm & Super 8mm as well as projectors and viewers.
If they were French women, I doubt they used birth control. I’m guessing this is French porn - considering they didn’t even have a Code that banned interracial relationships or nudity in actual films - like the Hays Code in the USA. This is all before the Nazis came and ruined everything of course.
