Lying Lips (1939)
A nightclub singer refuses to “date” customers, so she’s framed for the murder of her aunt.
The film argues that sexually explicit materials corrupt young viewers and readers, leading to acts of violence and perverted attitudes regarding sex—including inclination toward homosexuality. Perversion for Profit was serious in its suggestion that pornography could erode the integrity of American culture.
The wife (Kay Kendall) of brilliant, but boisterous and ill-tempered conductor (Yul Brynner) of the London Symphony puts up with his childishness, but the last straw is drawn when he begins an affair with a young pianist.
