Ah, pre-Hayes Code stuff was fabulous. Amazing what they got away with: Maureen O'Sullivan's body double swimming nude with Johnny Weismueller, that queen of the double entendre & innuendo, Mae West & Barbara Stanwyck's "Baby Face"...great stuff. The silent stuff too. Claire Bow was a very underrated actress.
When you think about it, though, as silly as it was, that stuff of the dancers on the plane wings was pretty high-tech special effects for the time.
