I love these old movies with their clean jabs/jibes at each other - no need for vulgarity to make a good story. Thank you, Dear Pizza!♥

[@DavidRice111]

After about 1960, I remember hollywood 'justified' vulgarity as "realism". Later, as our society progressively deteriorated, it was just a natural symptom of our collapse. Any time I hear them use "G/D", I comment on it, and shut the movie down.

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

@@DavidRice111 I see it the same way (born in 1948) and remember well how things went in the sixties and on in today. I am right there with you on my reaction to the Lord's name being used in movies.

It always amazes me how these old films can tell a more believable story in less time and keep one's attention better than contemporary attempts of entertainment.

[@michaelwyatt1744]

Hollywood has forgotten that a movie is supposed to tell a story, get the viewers emotionally involved w the characters and the action going on and move us all toward a moral conclusion. These days H is just out to replace stories w events where minor celebs appear in trendy places, wearing trendy clothes and sass each other w trendy patois and that is supposed to pass for cool. Big budgets allow H to fill up the screens w unreal events w vehicles, weapons and situations that suspend the viewers' belief, and that adrenalized thrill ride is supposed to get us to forget that there was no story to tell, no emotional lift and no satisfactory conclusion to their tale. Film has become just an adrenalized, fentanylized visual ejaculation w no morning after, leaving the viewer w that same empty feeling, that their event, was no night before, and was just a great waste of time..

[@trukeesey8715]

One problem they were top-heavy. If too fast goin on a curve, they would roll. On the positive side, the metal was so thick that often the roof didn't collapse on the passengers when the cars rolled. In the 1950s and early 60s, the teenagers in my neighborhood all had 1940s cars and every Sunday on the basketball court in the park, one would come in, who had been drinkin over the weekend, and say that he rolled his car. Each time it was another teenager, not the same one as last week.

[@pbasswil]

As a musician, it's amazing to hear the opening jazz theme. I'm a fan of both 1920's pop music (the first genre to be called 'Jazz'), _and_ the Swing version of jazz that followed in the 1930 & '40s. I love The Paul Whiteman Orchestra of the 1920s, which had some awesome sophisticated arrangements. Although that music was very syncopated, it was not 'swung' yet. In this movie, we're only 3 years into the '30s, and the jazz is completely swung! There was no period of transition; it's as if Swing was born in the early '30s, almost fully formed, right out of the gate.

This movie was made four years after the Stock Market crash of October 29,1929. People jumping off buildings were people who" lost their wealth" via the crash,they lost" everything." Poor people had no reason" to panic,jump off buildings" they did not have anything to lose!

But everybody was in the market because of margin borrowing of 10:1, even the shoeshine boy which is why Joe Kennedy sold everything and saved the family fortune.

Many - down in the southern half of the Appalachians - knew nothing about the stock market CRASH or Depression until it was all over. They still had their gardens, farm animals, made their own clothing/furniture/candles et cetera .....and very little money.

So, Sergeant Lorrimer finds a gun in Lillian's apartment that may be a murder weapon, and just picks it up, obliterating any fingerprints that might be on it. Brilliant. That's Edward Van Sloan as Professor Hawley, who played Dr. Van Helsing in the 1931 version of Dracula with Bela Lugosi.

[@neilgoodman2885]

I love these old movies, even when the script is a little thin, and the techniques less than what we have become used to (computers). The fatherly police captain, and the boyish paper man. But so help me, I cannot figure out why everyone always looks holder than me, and I old enough. The other questions I have go to the way, the way the directors just sort of knew what look the actor/ess had to pose to evoke their character -- like superior or sexy or monstrous, etc. given they were forging history. Neither had they a place to study, nor others to emulate -- they just had their genius. I am so moved. Sherlock (Basil Rathbone) Watson (Nigel Bruce) and all the rest of the characters and their fictional portrayer. I'll bet no one ever asked the characters what they thought! So, how come we are all so sure there isn't a REAL Sherlock to base his characterization on? I think this is just as valid a question, artistically, as much as our fellow humans hide behind the characterizations portrayed on the screen, or in the theatre? In other words, what's real?

Films like this will be appreciated only by those who appreciate the decade of the 1930's, which was a FAR BETTER era than what we're going through now. Back then, life made sense and there was hope for the future; today we have none of that, what with a flood of drugs, a flood of foreigners, a wave of violent crime, and the Federal Income Tax. If I could travel through Time, I wouldn't be writing this now.
