Virtual Femme Fatale Triple Threat 11/23

 (Virtual) (Doors open 8pm EST-1am EST)

Prepare for a promiscuous night of pre-code femme fatales & salacious controversial golden-age Hollywood cinema w/ host Kevin Ronca with this month’s 1st Triple Threat Feature! Things kick off with one of America’s 1st banned talkies!

Hailing from the Czech Republic & starring a Hollywood luminary, this arthouse feminist film of was banned in the USA & forced to be re-cut for its early portrayal of female sexuality! Gaining worldwide acclaim, the lead actress Hedy Lamarr’s future husband spent a fortune to get the film scrubbed from the world!

Next up, we’ve got a classic Golden-Age crime drama notorious for not only having 3 female protagonists running the show, but for creating a dark noirish world that removed good & evil, casting the world & women’s oppressive role in it, as a spectrum that blurs the line, angering the Hollywood censors & attracting great controversy upon release!

Finally our night ends with another controversial crime film centered around nurses that drew condemnation for both the lead actress’ racey promotion for the film ( awell0known pin-up star in her own right), + acts of debauchery, drug use, & other perversions that underpin a hard-boiled crime thriller!

Hosted by Kevin Ronca @ the Write Brain Theater, doors open at 8pm EST!
