What a breath of fresh air from the past. It's so hard to enjoy life this modern cesspool.

I love these old movies. Gets my mind off all the crumby stuff happening in the world! Thankyou.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

When this movie was made in 1931 it was the Depression and there was a lot of crumby stuff happening in the world then too.

True, but God, freedom and patriotism were at least respected in the culture. Now, self gratification is god, and folks can't even respect themselves.

What an HONEST ENDING ?! William Powell is such a great Actor ! Suave and Debonair. With such class. To bad Hollywood hasn't this anymore today.

[@megancrager4397]

Those complaining about the quality, be grateful you have free access to an old movie, while many others have been lost forever. It's almost 100 years old! The things we complain about....

Thank you so very much for sharing this classic gem with us! 😊

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Powell ❤ Lombard.

[@deborahrigby5428]

Agreed the resolution was not good, but when you stick it out the morals and conscience of the blackmailer is interesting 🫣🤭so lacking in todays movies😉I also love that black dress “Irene” had in the opening scene-Todd for☺️😍Thank you for this classic em💎💖😍

Great film hated the ending wonderful cast increadable fashion thanks for sharing.

The ending should have been different. I wasn’t expecting that, nor hoping for it.

Love William Powell . Good movies with Myrna Loy.

[@marks.8823]

Very good picture. Nicely paced. Beautifully directed with naturalistic acting. Thank you for showing.

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Good William Powell, Carole Lombard vehicle about deception and blackmail. It's nice that we see the Paramount logo and opening credits at the beginning of this upload unlike another upload of this film, which left them out. Thank you for showing everything from start to finish.

Shocking quality.

[@jimmclaughlin2603]

The audio quality is good but if they meant the video when they say "good quality", well, that is sarcasm. The video compression is Horrible. Or maybe it came form a VHS tape and I just forgot how bad analog tape looks. But not a bad movie, most anything with William Powell is worth watching.

[@jan-margaret6970]

I agree the ol' films are worth watching; but I too agree the resolution is warped.📽️🇨🇦🪶

[@globetrotter5800]

Yeah!!! An unhappy ending for a scoundrel....loved it!

[@sandy3482]

No doubt about it Carol Lombard is gorgeous but for my money I'll take Wynne Gibson!

[@leelarson107]

I never cared for Carole Lombard. Yes, she was nice-looking, but her acting was wooden and her 'feminine charm' was lacking. In private life, I wouldn't want my son to bring her home 'to meet the family'. Yes, I agree, I would rather have Wynne Gibson.

[@Laura-tp8wz]

Thanks!

[@akrenwinkle]

Saw it last night. The ending was so unexpected and left us just hanging, which made me think the real ending was chopped off for some reason.

[@everettwhite9874]

Irene got a gut 🥊 Now she’s on 🔥 Love 👀 is a many splendored thing.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

There's got to be a better ending? Like leave the back-stabbing woman in Africa and sail back to Europe! Let her swim for her life! Did she even think she is culpable too in the blackmail schemes? Great movie!

[@juliam.mallen3181]

I like your idea for an ending so much better!

[@leighharwood3886]

They both went straight at the end. He had no way to support the rich girl in the manner she was accustomed to, and her family might have dumped her if she married a middle-aged ex-blackmailer. The moll loved him through thick and thin. She was his equal.

[@a.deewai3181]

Well, goodday to you, Prof. Tarfeather🌹 It sounds like you really were into the movie (as if you were actually there...)😄💯. Ready to have a good heart to heart with the man !! And to throw that ghastly, conniving, little 🤬 overboard 🤨💯‼️ One who supposed to have been more-like of the gentle persuasion, since being a woman. But my thoughts were also like, if only the ending would have turned out better and it then having been "a feel-good movie" 🌤️. Well, anyway, God bless 💝 and be sure to have a nice day 💐. Sincerely in Christ Jesus, 💖🕊️

Sick and tired of people complaining about the ads. Install ad blocker. Or. Drag the red ball to the end. Start the movie but don't watch it. Drag the red ball to the end. Then click replay. It will restart the movie and there will be no ads.

@@juliekilburn1827 That was one comment from one actress. Maybe he didn't like what she smelled like, either.

[@leelarson107]

Powell and Lombard were divorced in 1933. It was six years until she married Clark Gable in 1939. In the meantime, she 'dated' just about everyone in Hollywood, including her favorite stud, Gary Cooper, who died of prostate cancer (!) in 1960.

I had a computer tech install a couple of ab-blockers, and now commercials are a thing of the past.

if you watch the whole movie and you watch the ads. Then if you click replay, you can watch the whole movie again but there won't be any ads. So...... Start the movie but don't watch the movie. Instead, Drag the red ball all the way to the end. Then click replay and it will start from the beginning again but it will be no ads.

[@CJ-hz1uj]

@@hamburgareable, as a lady persisted in informing me recently, the American Civil War was raging at this time. Earlier she had been challenging the use of the term “woke” as the pejorative it is currently. When I suggested that many generally agree that said civil war occurred in the 19th Century she said that then she was right, it was as she said, 19something, maybe 1950. At this point it seemed she might not have sufficient patience and there would be too much to explain. Given that she was in management, a kind of trouble shooter for a well known fast food chain, one wonders if her special knowledge of history led to management challenges.
