Now more than 80 years old - "These Three" (from 1936) lets you clearly see just how Hollywood actually handled a "forbidden love" story once the tyrannical "Hays Code" was in effect. Like - Hello!?
Believe me - This particular "love triangle" situation (involving 2 beauties and one hunk) never, ever speaks out its name. Ever. Nope. Not even once.
These Three's story is nothing but an exercise in total sexual innuendo that skirts around, and around, and around its subject matter (ho-hum!) to the point of becoming downright nerve-racking from the perspective of the frustrated viewer.
These Three's screenplay was written by Lillian Hellman. It was directed by William Wyler.
