What a great movie! Thank you for having it in your collection.

Classic, vintage, film noir ... are my favorites. Even Better when humor is incorporated! TY.

@Willie Gordon To each his own. Most are dry as a bone so plenty for your preference of humorless. Thanks for the reply, think I'll watch it again and ::Laugh:: for both of us! (.~)

@Willie Gordon You have listed Some of the best Mysteries and Who Done It's, all good stuff.. My Film and TV selections are quite eclectic, but Comedy is actually King in my world. Would not be so snide w/ the if you don't like don't watch ..What you chose to watch is .. well, your choice and, how is one to know if they like it w/o watching? Here's an oldie with some higher humor, never know, you may just like it. > Adventure in Manhattan > (1936) Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn7MaWl4mNuFbJY Description: “In this delightful screwball mystery, ace reporter George Melville (Joel McCrea) brags to colleagues that he will catch the perpetrator of recent art thefts. Stage actress Claire Peyton (Jean Arthur) supports him in his cat-and-mouse game with art thief Blackton Gregory (Reginald Owen).” From: “Screwball Comedy and Film Noir,” by Thomas C. Renzi

Thanks, the wise cracks and clever patter were great! Fun movie, and great upload. :)

[@RRW1982]

This is a certain type of film that was made in the 1930's, and it has to be one of the best of the lot. There's nothing weak about it, just a perfectly written and beautifully designed movie. Thanks for posting!!

[@henrykujawa4427]

Lew Ayers years before he starred as DR. KILDARE! This movie REALLY held my attention.

[@Menschenfreund535]

I enjoyed re-watching this fine film very much.

[@tontoschwartz6916]

A fun well done movie, definitely worth the watch.

[@russellgrenning1317]

Lew Ayres (1908 - 1996) who plays Kent Murdoch had a prolific career spanning sixty five years - his first movie, The Sophomore was in 1929 and his last, a TV movie, was Hart to Hart:Crimes of the Heart (1994) starring Robert Wagner. He was never in the first rank of Hollywood film royalty but had a very successful career with a highlight being his Oscar nomination for Best Actor in 1948 in Johnny Belinda- his co-star Jane Wyman (1917 - 2007) won the Best Actress Oscar. She was Ronald Reagan's first wife and they divorced the year this film was made. Ayres came to prominence playing the lead in the original version of All Quiet On The Western Front (1930) which won Oscars for Best Production and Best Director and which scored him a contract with Universal. This role led him to be a conscientious objector in World War Two which almost cost him his career until it was revealed that he had served with distinction as a combat medic. His movies in the 1930s were mostly B grade but still reasonably successful. MGM put him under contract to play Dr James Kildare in nine films from 1938 to 1942. He gradually moved into TV and was again offered the Dr Kildare role by NBC but he refused because his request that there be no cigarette advertising during the screening of the show was refused. In 1961, that role went to Richard Chamberlain (now 86, 2020) which ran for 191 episodes from 1961 to 1966 and made him a star. Ayres won a Golden Globe Award in 1977 for Best Documentary. This film was a minor B grade feature.

And on an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show Mary had the ‘hots’ for him even though he was an older gentleman. ; )

[@keithharvey7230]

Lew was the murder victim in an episode of Columbo.The killer was that other fine actor Jose Ferrer.

[@Rubi-ll8ss]

Olivia De Havilland should of won for the best actress prize in 1948, for her heart rendering performance on the Snake Pit. Belinda was not as good as the Snake Pit, which is a glorified soap opera. WaRners may have had a bigger voting power for the academy in 1948.

[@hortondlfn1994]

My first time to see Lew Ayres was in the movie Holiday, and I thought he was fantastic; my first time to see Gail Patrick was in the movie My Man Godfrey, and I thought she was stunning. What a blast to get to see two favorites together!

[@DavidRice111]

"stunning"? Really? Were you actually STUNNED? C'mon~ that word is so cliché.

[@hortondlfn1994]

@@DavidRice111 Well, as you see, I said nothing about MY being stunned. I merely observed that I thought she was stunning - what or whom she was stunning is beyond my capacity to say. It would be highly presumptuous of me to even try. In the meantime, though, yes, I suppose I must confess that I was actually STUNNED when I first saw Gail Patrick. It is possible I drooled for close to five minutes. And, while some may claim that such droolery was more the result of being gobsmacked and not so much stunned, since I didn't know the word "gobsmacked" at the time that it happened, I think it is safe to say I was stunned. (By the way, "C'mon" is so overused as to be considered trite and fripperish.)

@@ruthmaryrose Edith Head (1897-1981) was born in San Bernardino, California. In 1923, after a brief career as a schoolteacher, Head answered an advertisement for a sketch artist at Famous Players-Lasky (soon to be renamed Paramount Studios).Movie Studio Designer, Edith Head Although she had very little artistic training, her versatility impressed Howard Greer, the chief costume designer, who hired her immediatelyAmy Fine Collins reported that the designer "obstinately refused to talk about her background except in the vaguest of terms.However, since she definitely had graduated from college, married, divorced, and worked as a teacher for several years by 1923, the later birthdates are not possible.

It was only after she had taken the job, which paid $50 per week (double her teacher's salary), that Head confessed she had "borrowed" this work from other art school students.

.88cents owing in 1936. How much is that worth now? The U.S. dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 3.55% per year during this period, causing the real value of a dollar to decrease. $1 in 1936 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $18.73 in 2020, a difference of $17.73 over 84 years. The 1936 inflation rate was 1.46%.

[@leelarson107]

No one wants to talk about Lew Ayres screwing around with Jane Wyman while she was still married to Ronald Reagan. Ronnie divorced her, not vice-versa. And Wyman didn't get to marry Ayres, because "Well, it's been nice, kid, but I'm outta here."

[@garyolsen3409]

Maybe it's because no one cares but you

[@Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

Funny to think that even in a time when there were much higher morals in society (when divorce was shocking , for example, and boys and girls were not allowed to mix with each other at school) men and women were still doing exactly what they do now - they just kept it secret.

[@RockOfLions]

As the Reagan family tells it, Ronald and Jane divorced because she was a rare Hollywood conservative, he was a typical Hollywood liberal and they let the politics come between them. It was only later that he crossed the political aisle.

[@leelarson107]

@@RockOfLions People who actually knew Jane Wyman remembered her as 'coarse and crude, and with a foul mouth.' **And that's over and above her committing adultery with Lew Ayres. She was also married-and-divorced 5 times, so that should tell you something.

[@RockOfLions]

@@leelarson107 I think this tells me that you don't like her very much and feel a need to tell everyone about how bad she was. There are always many rumors about anyone in Hollywood, I don't much care about them. I don't even care much about celebrities except when I can count on them to put on a reliably good performance. I'm sorry for you that it's so important to dislike this person who I don't even know if you knew her and who has been dead since 2007.
