Trangression, a 1931 romance melodrama. A wife finds temptation in Paris while her husband is in India on business. Ricardo Cortez is fun as a caddish womaniser. It's Cortez and the wonderful Kay Francis who make this one worth seeing.

Thirteen Women (1932) is a crime melodrama/horror film. Twelve women, former schoolfriends, receive warnings from an Indian mystic. Myrna Loy gets the juicy sexy bad girl role and she's terrific. Fun, with subtle occult hints.

Is Roy del Ruth's 1931 precode version of The Maltese Falcon better than John Huston's celebrated 1941 remake? I think it is, although I like both.

Ricardo Cortez is a better Sam Spade than Bogart, and Bebe Daniels is definitely better than Mary Astor.

With its cheerful immorality the '31 version is closer in spirit to Hammett's novel.
