    Sorry. The best pre-Code actress was Ruth Chatterton. Check her out in "Female."

    Nancy Carroll was the best. And Louise Brooks, too. Too bad she didn't make many pre-code talkies or she would have been the greatest of them all.

    Absolutely. Nancy Carroll should be discussed. And why not Carole Lombard? Ann Harding? Kay Francis? They were all making pre-code movies in the early 1930s, and they could be as saucy and risque as the best of them. What am I saying? They WERE the best of them.

    I wish he or someone else would discuss Nancy Carroll.
