People stranded due to stormy winds and rains , taking shelter at inn or in mansion and that things starts to happen, who done it ? Based on this there are many flicks but this one that too in that year truly a masterpiece with a tight script and a natural performances. Treat.

03:43 - My grandmother would say "Loss Angle - is" though she lived there for most of her 101 years.

[@kidmack3556]

Same here. I'm part of the third of six generations native Angelenos. And the first and second generations pronounced it that way.

[@howie9751]

Watching these clips I've been surprised at how many women were in these pictures. Not just a few to say there were women in them, but quite a few. And they talk to each other the way women do, and they talk to men. And they have groups. While the movies may not be as good as years later, there is a greater naturalness about the characters. Didn't realize how much women's culture is missing in today's movies, even the ones with a female heroine.

[@dongaetano3687]

Good observation there Howie - never thought of it that way. Thx

[@kassistwisted]

Wonderful observation! Thanks

[@grimtt]

Good point! I like these “tweenies” (after silents but before talkies hit their groove) because there is so much experimentation. And natural ness like you say!

[@leelarson107]

So you're saying that these pre-feminists are just fine and that a lessened male element is even better. Did your wife tell you to say that? As for 'women's culture' being absent today, look at the junk that's coming out of Hollywood, where Political Correctness decrees that there be a female heroine who 'just happens' to have a black or a latino or an Asian counterpart who is ALMOST as strong and tough and smart as she is.

[@howie9751]

@@leelarson107 What I'm saying is that it was more like life, where half the population is female and participate in society. The rest of what you're saying is just your own attempt to put politics into it. Get a life.

Need to turn up the VOLUME on these old movies. The computer-monitor speakers have their limits.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

+Lee Larson The computer monitor speakers have no limits in one field, and that's how bad they are! but if they changed this one little incidental character flaw, it would add $5,000 to the price tag. It's WAAAAAYYYY better to purchase your dream speakers and hook up the computer to them!! My dream speakers were always BOSE. So, I got me the Bowes CD and radio unit and hooked up my comp to that. EGGCELLENT!!! (egg-head [Vincent Price] in Batman TV series). Truly, listening, PLEASURE. It's def worth the price of the listening unit, which will outlast the number of computers one might purchase in their lifetime.

[@snmkytkn]

+LIZZIE SANGI Sangi (Lizzie) You can always use headphones instead of buying expensive Bose or things like that.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

snmkytkn yEA, sure. One can buy any speaker, etc with a better sound than the lone computer, the sound that comes out of the headphones is only going to be as good as what is coming out of your speakers. One can hook it up to their TV, if that has good audio. :-)

[@TheAndroia]

Thanks for sharing this. I have wanted to buy a Bowes for a long time, but just never could justify the price. My Christmas present to ME has just been found.

Enjoyed this film. Precode I reckon! Some of it was just normal for the time and considered terribly unP.C. today, but there was actually the word damn in it. I thought Gable said the first damn on film! LOL

[@graemesmith6721]

Yeah, it surprised me too when he said it. I guess before the Hayes Code you were still allowed to say "damn" in a movie. You can thank the Legion of Decency for shielding our tender ears from such "obscenities" for the next thirty years.

Great movie mystery

[@irenedow5665]

Nice plot. It’s a 1932 movie and the electric bulb was invented in 1879. Where are the oil lamps and what happened to the two flashlights from the airplane the crew used to find their way to the Manson? Just thinking....

[@lindamarie6574]

Love this movie! Mystery and fun!

[@graemesmith6721]

Funny movie. The acting is so stilted and melodramatic it looks like a community theater production. And not only is Buchanan a racist, he's also incompetent. The killer has their back to him twice, at 54:43 and again at 55:10, and neither time does this supposed ex-prizefighter jump them. Also, the characters' positions relative to the killer appear to change between shots. Before 55:10, Buchanan was behind them, but in the next shot, he's completely disappeared!

[@cm9439]

It was their DENSITY!

[@flu42o]

45:07-45:13: Wow. Did he really say that? Sad.

Just one question - how the heck can so many people be in a house, with the lights going on and off, in the 1930s and not look for some candles! Other than that, love it. Fun movie, thanks.

It was simple~ but it was fun.

[@atlasshrugged7475]

"You know, Chop Suey was really invented by an Irishman" ha, ha, ha- good one😄 Not sure the details where an Irishman could have had a say, for that matter what I think to be right may not be, ha, ha. My understanding was that when the Chinese and Irish immigrants worked on the building the railways, the Chinese used the ingredients available to stir fry thereby providing a fast food to meet the demand created by the workers. If you know otherwise, I would love to hear about it.

I enjoyed this who dunnit and rate it a 6.

[@footfault]

Fun movie, thanks. The actress playing lol (little old lady) Miss Daggett isn't making any effort at all to look as if she's knitting - see, for example, at 38:15, her hands are just bobbing up and down with the needles. Ridiculous. It doesn't take long, maybe ten minutes of her time, to learn to look the part of a knitter in action. Where did she get actors' training?

[@Kingofallfunnelheads]

Look. This stuff is fun, but really awful.

[@greggi47]

Well, a B movie sloping toward the C range. They saved money on lighting but didn't use it to pay for acting skills. This would be a campy high school drama club bit of work. They come out of nowhere, abide in a mysterious somewhere, and we don't know what will happen next. Nonetheless I had a good time watching.

[@deanndrakaydee123]

Two words.....Great Depression...... for goodness sakes the world was broke and hollywood along with it!..... cut them some slack most of them were inexperienced...... stage was the thing and they used movie jobs to PRACTICE their skills..... at this point people thought that movies would never last..... glad you liked it though!😁

[@craigbenz4835]

This is the weakest pre-code movie I've seen. Now we know they made poor movies back then also. Too many characters, too little developement.

[@507dannyfe]

Smoking is totally gross 😝

[@hippiekarl7]

(Shut up, Joy).....

[@kittyhawk8414]

If you find it gross, that's good. Tobacco was one of the biggest contributors to movies. That's why so many actors smoked on screen ... even if they just lit up and took one puff. It was a way for the tobacco industry to tempt their audiences into smoking through seeing their favorite actors smoking. It was highly successful.

[@toussantlbisso]

Ed bernay's freuds nephew called them Torches of freedom ! Allowed tobacco co. to get the female customers.

[@hippiekarl7]

And now, it's become the case that, if everyone QUIT smoking today, everyone's taxes would go through the roof (as your benevolent govt does what govts do to recover multi-millions in otherwise-disappeared tax revenue). Smokers, for good or ill, carry an awful lot more of the per-capita 'tax burden' in this country than others...and your govt ~still~ PAYS farmers to grow tobacco. Remember that (on tax day); in terms of 'Citizens Chipping In Extra', smoking is actually the egalitarian, 'All American' thing to do.... And, of course, Bernays (that's right; there's no ~apostrophe~ in his name lol) et al already demonstrated that smoking not only 'emancipates' women, but it's just plain *glamorous* . As Fran Leibowitz pointed out, "As a child, I realized that smoking is the entire point of being an adult".......
