Commentary
   Ramon Novarro's heroine in The Barbarian takes the kudos for this year's most discreetly provocative nude scene. Loy, cast as an exotic during the early part of her film career, joins an elite group of actresses in the early 1930s who perform nude bath or bathing scenes, including compete with Claudette Colbert and Hedy Lamarr (HL3310).
