      Things were definitely racier in the 20s and early 30s. That's the "pre-code" era: In 1934 the motion picture industry started adhering to the Motion Picture Production Code, which prohibited lots of things, like profanity, racy outfits, etc.

    And, for a machine that is vital for their survival, they only have one guy operating the controls and no security.

      @@brianwhite2104 Depending upon how you view history WWII there is a case for starting with an earlier date possibly as early as 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria. The Second Sino-Japanese War was fought between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan between 1937 and 1945 which is considered part of World War II, and often regarded as the beginning of World War II in Asia. If you use a wider global view of the world and war the ground work of what would be WWII had already started.

      @@vestafreyja I think a credible case can be made for WWII starting in 1937 with the outbreak of war between Japan and China, but the invasion of Manchuria in 1931 seems more analogous to Germany's invasion of Czechia in that it did not immediately provoke war.

    I watch these old Flash Gordon serials as a kid back in the seventies. KBSC, The local UHF station, showed these in the late afternoon and on the weekends, and they definitely weren't colorized. And despite the limited production values, I found these serials very entertaining.
    However, I had forgotten entirely how cute Jean Rodgers was, even though her real name was Eleanor Dorothy Lovegren. It's too bad she only had a handful of screen credits during her 15-year acting career.
    Who knows how world-renowned this Swedish beauty would have been if she had stuck with her acting and gotten bigger roles in better movies. (⊙‿⊙✿)
