Joan Blondell in 'Gold Diggers of 1933' (1933)

Full title: "Gold Diggers of 1933" (1933) USA
Actress: Joan Blondell (1906)
Director: Charles Reisner
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024069/

While the silhouetted nudes are a famous pre-code scene, my favorite is with Joan Blondell later on. She is getting ready in the bathroom and talking to a friend while doing her hair. The outfit is skimpy (especially for the 1930s!), but there is a hint a areola slip near the end of the scene.











Also included are still from the more famous dance number.

Actress: Illa Meery (1915)
Director: Richard Oswald

This must be one of the first teasing scenes. While there was nudity in cinema in the 20s and prior, this must be one of the first slips!
