forbidden beauty
These images are quite beautiful. They are censored clips from 1920’s films.

*Update 2026: This is a very old post and something terrible has happened to the link there to the forbidden film clips. I went looking for them and the closest I came was a 1920s foot fetish sequence which sort of wasn’t what I had in mind. But here to cheer you up is Clara Bow. Nobody can be mad or feel cheated looking at Clara Bow, right?
Damn straight right!

What with the Sharon Stone c-flash in Basic Instinct, the movie industry only has to lift the “explicit sexual intercourse imagery” ban to erase the boundary between the no-c/d and c/d-allowed movies, hasn’t it?
Well no. Filmmakers often have to remove a lot of footage to make it in under ratings lines and the male body is still not showing up much on film at all.
I love the shoe slipping off. How erotic!
Who knew feet were so on the censors’ list?
The shoes and feet under the table. So brilliant.
