Thursday Afternoon Film Series - Red-Headed Woman February 1, 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. 1 – Red-Headed Woman (1932)
Jean Harlow plays a brazen tart named Lil who is determined to seduce her boss (Chester Morris) and gain entree to his upper class world and money. Harlow is delightfully ribald in this racy film written by Anita Loos and F. Scott Fitzgerald and costarring Lewis Stone, Una Merkel and Charles Boyer.
