David Ezell wonders:
"I just saw the 1942 film BLONDIE'S BLESSED EVENT, and to my surprise the
nine months pregnant Blondie looked like the unpregnant version.  It
began me thinking about pregnant images in film.  Can anyone cite early
images of pregnant women in both American and international movies?"
 
 
A few "early" (at least pre-WWII) examples that come to mind:
 
WAY DOWN EAST
STAGECOACH (the birth scene is always a big surprise for the students)
GONE WITH THE WIND
THE CRIME OF M. LANGE
BED AND SOFA (USSR, silent)
 
Don Larsson, Mankato State U (MN)
