Finally! Call out racism in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Gone With the Wind, transphobia in Psycho, sexism in My Fair Lady! Ban them all!



TCM is launching a new series called Reframed: Classic Films in the Rearview Mirror to look at 'troubling and problematic' aspects of old Hollywood movies.

Among the 18 flicks under the microscope include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Psycho, Gone With the Wind, My Fair Lady, Stagecoach, The Jazz Singer, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and more.

'But at the same time, there are aspects of [Sidney Poitier's] films that are clearly oriented primarily to white audiences. That opens up all kinds of complications for black viewers who felt that he wasn't a representative of the race as a whole'.
