Frank Braidwood is the lucky chap who gets to lip lock with the lovely Lucille LeSueur. He didn't have much of a Hollywood career, but he did get to smooch with the Queen of Golden Age Hollywood!

This is amazing, and very cleverly done to show the panorama of a complex story with very limited means at that time. Excellent!

If that was the age of speed, they sure want to see these pissants now!! 🤬🤬🤬

This shows gangsters for what they are - scumbags!

If this is another anti drug, drink type movie as it appears and as many as they put out back then (covering everything from various alcohol mixtures to mj and even a morphine one) with the most famous probably being 'Marijuana', it's humorous that the so called war on drugs didn't truly start until the 80's. 😂

Lol yep

Hope one day they find the extended version of this film.

The music was great! Why can't we have this music today? I have no idea what was going on in the movie but whatever it was it looked like fun.

A tall non bald clean shaven Poirot. His first appearance in Agatha's novels. What is a stump in cricket, and the confiture/jam joke? At least this Poirot spoke good French on the phone. Kynaston's aristocratic manner and language superb. Will have to reread the book...lot of plot evaded me. However,, happy to see. Reminds me of an early talkie Holmes in which Moriarty's sinister side to side head motion, found in original story, was exaggerated...like DimAlt HeVantKaka's whole body side to side...to attract constant attention, of coarse. hee. danke. American accents slightly overly nuanced. Cabbie's "S'all right" possibly meant to be an American affectation...30s films had several such instances...trying to remember a Brit judge sayin, "Oh yeah" after a clarification of phrase used, as dialogue stated, in American "kinema', hard 'C'. thanx for film, again...excellent picture and sound. Comic Hastingness also slightly overdone. Goblinesque, troll-wise. As to what is worth our time, I write to please myself. Am vague on meaning of 'troll'...sounds childish. So, if 'trolling', it is only the above paragraph I chose to denigrate, ever so slightly. I put an overhanging cardboard to block the irritating timer...hardly ever cut off the heads, ha but hardly funny. I Gave Up on most humans more than half a century ago, and one week at Princeton U in 69 demonstrated my parents were right, if understated...they said, "average Ivy Leaguers are mildly retarded"... but also...infantile, unquestioning and antiscientific in generalist/interdisciplinarian matters, and minds, and narrowly specialized, the last two the parental emphasis...as also with most of my species. AI minions block rigidly, because larger corporations treat their shows as proprietarily moneymaking property. My time is now well spent. By the proper judge of same. Moi-même. Je m'excuse...peu d'exercice dans mes autres langues, last half century. I have blocked all replies, since I first used this 'antisocial medium', from about time Biden's mind was proven deteriorated unacceptably. I decided never to use the other such conduits for metastasizing viral cancers of the internet, such as 'unreality TV' and TwitsTear. X mar the spoot, like Poopsi. I wish my studies could help my species for the longer term~~~our weakest suit...but by definition, miracles are impossible. When coal is too costly in fuel to mine, machine age ends forever. And, if we survive Anthropocene, may the universe forfend, only hand and hoof, wood and stone, under probably anti-science theocracies...millions of years, perhaps...and our brains are unlikely to evolve for the better....in the only biosphere, heavily polluted for a short geologic age, we can ever know of. P.S. All sea mammals will be dead about era corals and, later, shells dissolve in the sea. Parents polymaths in sciences and more. Doesn't mean Auguste Comtean/Jean Piagetian adults. Fam addicted to murder mysteries...I stopped after Holmes, Christie and Sayers, by age 14. ish. . Until now, age 73...y knot. Gordianly yours. never claimed to be funny. I love humor and some fantasy, much of a muchness. But reality obtrudes. Enjoy your time. if lucky, old like me, and this time Browning out of date. The Best is NOT to Be. In both senses. poor vision, dying keysbored...forgive probable errors. As for weaker wit, who careth. both senses, bigot now about the witless. I noted 'suspects' 1934's "The Thin Man", and Jeckyl, same era, changed pronunciation in later 30s. Myrna Loy accented second syllable, and 'Geekul', first syllable accented, in Fred March's version. Austin Trevor! My my then.

Thank you for sharing! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this silent version 😊

That look on his face 13:12-21. Her first clue.

Thank you 🎉 so much 👍

So Austin Trevor was the first Hercule Poirot. Historic.

Let's see Taylor S or anyone else singing today try to top this set...I'm waiting...,❤❤❤

Chico O'farrill , legendary composer/arranger😂❤

Thank you for upload

Who is the music by?

Perfect music.

They had the customized horn hell yeaaa!! Huntz Hall still makes me laugh.

Carmelita was no slouch.

America's favorite 'IT' girl.

I consider myself lucky to have seen Ella on 2 occasions. The first time was in Belfast in 1963 in Belfast and then again in the 70s at Ronnie Scott's. She reminds my favourite singer of all time .RIP Ella.

🎉❤

Thank you !!

❤Thank you so much for posting this I’d love to have this on dvd i hope there is a copy somewhere. I related to this a lot and Beautiful thing . As I was the same age as the characters in the film when it was originally released . It did ruffle a few feathers upon release and they tried to show it in schools . I also think this could from an idea around Bronski Beat,s Smalltown Boy which was release three years earlier in 1984.In the Bronski beat video and this film there are similar scenes which depict the family home and it’s view on the Gay subject matter .

John Gilbert never depended on his strikingly handsome looks to deliver an authentic and natural performance. How unfortunate that his great acting was never recognized. He always expresses the character he's playing to perfection, from an innocent, fun-loving youth in The Big Parade to a suave sophisticated mature man in Flesh and the Devil. Too bad his talent was wasted in a B picture like this. Nevertheless, it's worth watching, as bad as the quality is, just to see him.

Muy bonito recordar buenos años de las páginas del pasado!!! Años maravillosos!!!

R.I.P., BEAUTIFUL BABY

Great Jimmy Jones playing piano and conducting the orchestra deserves much credit as well.

God he was so talented and died way too young. His performances just took your breath away.

No lady singer like Ella. Unique and incomparable.

Agatha Christie is definitely one of my favorite authors ❤

Poirots accent sounded Franco/German heheheh

I fell in love the moment I heard her voice and have been every day ever since. A day doesn't go by without Ella.

Superior force of nature. She has voice for many singers in need.

People are complaining that Poirot doesn't look like he's supposed to: no mustache, for instance. I don't think it's that important. In fact, I'm going to produce a movie on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with Tom Hanks in the title role.

Quentin Tarantino brought me here ;)

I love this live version been listening to it All my life❤❤❤❤❤

Ella & Roy Finger lickin goooood

Came here for my boy Quentin, stayed for the terrific movie.

27:09 nice brass

Bill and Quentin brought me here

One of only a few Fred Thomson films surviving. FBO, the forerunner of RKO, used to melt down worn copies of films to recoup the silver used in making them. Thompson died young in 1928; FBO's desire to get Tom Mix put Thomson's production company out of business.
