Oscar-winning Wings (1927) featuring one of the first on-screen same-sex kisses in film history.
“The film is one of the first to feature a male-on-male kiss – a fraternal one – in the death scene near the end. It is also one of the first widely released films to show nudity.[7] Clara Bow’s breasts can be seen for a second during the Paris bedroom scene when army men barge in as she is changing her clothes. In the Enlistment Office, nude men undergoing physical exams, can be seen from behind, through an open door, which is opened and closed. This film was released a few months before the MPPDA list of “Don’ts and Be Carefuls” was established. [8]“
