A Shriek in the Night (1933) GINGER ROGERS

Stars: Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbot, Harvey Clark
Director: Albert Ray
Rival newspaper reporters join forces to solve a series of murders!

[@pearlcaster8287]

It always amazes me; Ginger Rogers was the "spit 'n image" of my mother. I watch these 1930's movies for entertainment and because they're seldom over an hour long. The sets are so informative. The coin bank on the desk as Ginger made a call is now worth a small fortune. The furniture of these B movies is informative to a cultural anthropologist. I enjoy the dialogue,the clothing, the cars, and the directness of the productions. They're told to tell a story and they do it. Thks for the movie.

[@anombrerose6311]

Yeah, that is always strange. At one point in my mother's life, she was the spittin' image of Susan Hayward, as adults. Always interesting to watch the movies at the times they resemble. But Mom didn't have the same kind of voice as Susan.

[@OLD_SOUL1900]

Wow. I wish I could see a photo of your mother for comparison. She obviously must've been a beautiful woman, in her own right of course, not just because Ginger was gorgeous as well. I do so love the old films. Let's just say, "I see in black and white"😁

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

My mother met Ginger when she was at the opening of the Penny's store during the early 70s at the mall in Hagerstown MD. She was hired by Penny's to promote new stores. The store is still there. For now.

[@duke9555]

Penny may be still there but Ginger isn't

She became a big star but Lyle Talbot became a character actor in movies and on TV for the rest of his very long career. Few people remembered his name but everyone knew his face.

Oldest movies had bodies falling from a height and they show the landing on a hard surface. Old movies had devious ways to kill, from time delayed mechanisms to golf club guns that shoot a poisonous tipped needle up and out of the handle. They certainly don’t show such explicit content in modern movies.

*Ginger* She along with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are some of my favorite dames. Nice use of curtains around the foyer entrance. And good use of shadows. Louis Beavers was fun and feisty as the maid. She had a good attitude, "I didn't like that man alive, what makes you think that I'm going to like him dead."

[@amandawilcox9638]

We have young Ginger Rogers as a wisecracking reporter, a maid who reads detective stories, & Louise Beavers as a stubborn housekeeper. Weird plot. Have fun!

This is a worthy film for restoration.

At 43:50, Lyle Talbot pulls out a .45 automatic pistol and says to Ginger Rogers that it is a 'revolver'. A minor point, but I've seen that same exact thing done many times in these old B&W movies.

[@pearlcaster8287]

I've taken note of the same thing, even up into some 1950's films. It must have been contemporary usage and the "term" changed as semi-autos beame more apparent after WWII. Also, "Black-jacks" ("saps") have disappeared, along wirh nightsticks. You're not to cause an insrirution liability for insurane policy, no matter if you get the **** beat out of yourself. You can carry a firearm, but it's illegal for a non-police person to carry a non-lethal taser. Point of fact, even gun magazines don't use revolver as a term anymore. It's apparently more cool to use the word "wheelgun."

Getting sufficient calories and nutrients prior to 1960 was a constant event for most people. I collect old cookbooks printed before 1970. And those pre-1960 are very deliberate in their nutritional and caloric economics chapters. And the further back you go, the more dominant it becomes. But life was a lot more physical than now. And getting food was still more work than it is now with distribution still done locally and limiting.
