Movie Man review: ‘FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD Vol. 3′

The crowd begins to get ugly in a scene from HEROES FOR SALE.

This week’s DVD column is a review of the third FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD collection from Warner Bros. This one collects six films from the Pre-Code era of the early 1930s, all of them directed by the legendary William Wellman. My column, which you can find here, concentrates mostly on two 1933 films — HEROES FOR SALE, a stark drama about a returning World War I veteran, and WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD, which shifts the focus to teens who become homeless during the Great Depression.

Here’s a link to the video review, with plenty of clips from HEROES FOR SALE.
