One of our grandpas, who grew up in the thirties was always talking to us in animated character voices ranging from the tough, wise-cracking street kid to the fatherly Irish beat cop, and back again! He was hilarious!

"These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)" is a standard with lyrics by Eric Maschwitz, writing under the pseudonym Holt Marvell, and music by Jack Strachey. As for the rest of the story...same old same old...thank you for sharing a great movie.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

I can so do a psychiatric breakdown on this film. It is a realistic look at dysfunctional families in the Great Depression.

[@mariapasos7482]

Most families are dysfunctional..so what?.Back than to the present time.

[@miguelsonofzeus]

@@mariapasos7482 It was a certain type of dysfunction back then due to what was going on back then. Anyway I sense a bit of attitude in your comment, are you okay?

[@michellejester9734]

If you haven't seen Peck's Bad Boy also starring Jackie Cooper, it's free on KZbin and a great movie!!

You're thinking of Jackie Coogan...

[@invisableobserver]

The high pitch noise from the film running makes it intolerable, is there any way to fix it?

Jackie COOPER, from this film, was in the Little Rascals/Our Gang comedies. Jackie COOGAN was in Oliver Twist with Lon Chaney Sr. and The Kid with Charlie Chaplin. Coogan was the one who went on to play Uncle Fester.
