Shadow Of The Law (aka The Quarry 1930) William Powell, Natalie Moorhead

[@MadAboutFilm]

What a brilliant picture!⭐⭐⭐⭐ How is it that William Powell never made a movie that wasn't great? Everyone in the cast is very good. The story keeps you guessing to the last minute. 👍👍👍

[@libbystaton7270]

William Powell is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ACTORS!

[@ananonym1617]

Quite excellent and ahead-of-it’s-time camera work, and script - especially in the courtroom scenes. William Powell enunciates and charms every frame. I’m watching on KZbin, on a smart phone thinking yet again how great movies and life in general were, before the digital age, internet, CGI and AI. Alas…

[@GlamGal001]

What a wonderful legacy he left, so many people are still enjoying his movies some 90 years later.

[@billquinnett]

Don’t you think he was a great actor

[@GlamGal001]

@@billquinnett He is definitely one of my favs. The old movies are so much better than new ones and the actors are better. So glamorous

Powell is Powell no matter the role….fine actor…I just wish we had his talent today….

[@michaelcollins237]

Been hooked on all of his films The camera loved this guy He appeared to be quite intense and gave film goers there money s worth

[@robertbruner7429]

These wonderful old movies remind me that while technology has changed in countless ways, the emotions we share are exactly the same, and will be equally relevant in a thousand years.

[@nomadpi1]

It's always a pleasant surprise to find a Powell movie I've not seen. The segues were well done, the production values were good for 1930 (a Paramount standard), It was scripted well, dialogue leading to the plot, and the plot was fine. The antagonist persona was excellent. The scenario of Powell injuring himself was histrionic, but so what. I like to see the women in these movies because they're natural; no breast jobs, natural noses, graceful movements, and I see the styles and hairdos of my aunts here. Thanks for posting the movie.

[@gabbysch2625]

What a man! Excellent role and supporting cast.

[@jacquelinejanz8466]

I can’t stand to see Powell going through all this grief. I want to run interference for him. Any enemy of his is my enemy too!

Mine, too.

That the attitude of those that voted for Biden, they believe anything. You don't know anything about Powell except when he made movies and you are going by those.

[@nedludd7622]

He was only a Lothario who got himself into trouble. What a man to admire.

[@artroraback8663]

WOW! What a great film! I've never been disappointed with any of William Powell's work and it's a treat to see Paul Hurst as well.

Powell and Natalie Moorhead !! 😃😃 What a glamorous and potent combination !! I just loved these two and they were all over the place in the 1930's and I'm glad of it !! Thanks for the upload, and it's in fabulous condition too !! 🧡🧡❤️❤️💜💜I just love these old movies - or timeless movies ?? 10:12

[@dremacarnathan7100]

Thank you soooo much for uploading this movie!!! I thought I had seen all of William Powell’s movies. He is one of my all time favorite actors!!! I pray that you will others that I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing. God bless you, and may He keep you and your family safe from the virus!!!

[@canyonroots]

I'm glad to see the black guy in the elevator had decent lines.

[@kevino4846]

He looked like the same guy who was the desk clerk in the Canary Murder.

[@matperegrinus656d]

That is still not an advantage

[@shanasavage7450]

Thank you! This is such a great print. He's one of my all time favorites! Especially when he played with Jean Harlow, so tragic that she died so young....then his son years later....he had to go through so many tough times....I adore him!

[@1949LA-ARCH]

WOW ! What a classic film, thanks for posting !

[@sol1120]

Absolutely wonderful. Great print, watched on iPad. Thank you ! Hoping to find Private Detective 62 some day

[@b1i2l336]

Fantastic film! William Powell is terrific!

[@richshealer3755]

My wife and I watched "The Quarry" from 2020. Wasn't worth our time. I often look at reviews after I watch a movie to see if I missed anything. While looking for one, I saw this link. I said to my wife, "I bet this 1930 movie is better than the one we just saw." I was right.

[@jerryjohnson8485]

Anytime anyone says the remake is better, it's the cgi, nudity cursing,and"action" they mean,not the acting,or movie!

[@hamburgareable]

Thanks, such a great movie! 👍 👍 👍👍 👍

[@keithharvey7230]

Paul Hurst was the soldier shot on the stairs by Scarlet in Gone with the wind.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

Wow! I'm so happy to see this this one? I want More? What a great story! What an Awful Woman! This... Neighbor... Innocently goes on one Date unbeknownst that she's "kept" and in a Relationship with another Man? She Inculcates him into HER Domestic Dispute by taking the Confrontation into HIS home where he, as a Gentleman, is forced to Protect her? And he ends up in Prison on a Life Sentence for Murder? Come on now? He isn't lacking the Resources for a good Decense Attorney? However, the Key Witnesses here, a guy who happens to see the whole even unfold before his very eyes? As if he was "pushed" from the window? ( Any Cop worth his Salt would be smelling KaKa). Really, Time will tell that in Every Case, Scientific Research has proven that Eyewitness accounts are the most unreliable! This Woman he was protecting, turns out to be a piece of Selfish Narcissistic Crap who is a No- Show ... this should speak volumes? But it doesn't resonate with Investigators, Prosecutors, or Jurors? It's gotta be due to the 1930's and no Court TV or Internet? Great Story-line ! I love the Supporting Actor, and his Character. This was well done. Any William Powell Film is a Hit!

Thank you 😃 April 4 , 2024

[@lesahenderson7365]

Loosely reminds me of The Fugitive. Both are great movies 🎥 🍿. Thanks.

[@marbleman52]

Wow...like Drema Carnathan said, I also thought I had seen all of Powell's movies. This was a real treat..!! But I also was expecting the movie to continue and have that awful woman being forced to tell the truth. This movie was made in 1930 and you could see that the dialogue was forced, with a lot of the actors saying their lines in a loud and rough way...except for Powell's lines; he was always smooth and intelligently spoken. Thanks for this movie..!!

[@raymondcabana1122]

ATTN: CARNATHAN AND MARBLEMAN, AS FANS OF WILLIAM POWELL, I'M RATHER SURPRISED THAT BOTH OF YOU COULD BELIEVE YOU'D "SEEN ALL OF POWELL'S FILMS"! HE HAD BEEN IN MOTION PICTURES SINCE THE EARLY TWENTIES, SO IT'S PRACTICALLY "A GIVEN" THAT, BEING AS MANY OF THESE ARE "LOST", NEITHER OF YOU FOLKS COULD'VE SEEN BUT A FRACTION OF THEM AT MOST!/THIS PRINT HAS GOOD SOUND BUT THE RESOLUTION IS A BIT ON THE FUZZY SIDE; IT'S NO DOUBT A POORLY COPIED 16MM POSITIVE./A FAR SUPERIOR FEATURE, IN MY OPINION -- SAME STAR, SAME YEAR, SAME STUDIO -- IS "STREET OF CHANCE". WHEN I SPOKE TO ITS DIRECTOR, JOHN CROMWELL, HE AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS BASED ON GAMBLER NICKY ARSTEIN, FANNY BRICE'S NE'ER-DO-WELL HUSBAND, BUT QUICKLY AGREED WITH ME THAT THE GAMBLER MODEL HAD BEEN ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN; HENCE THE CLIMACTIC DEADLY SHOOTING. WHEN I COMPLIMENTED HIM ON HAVING DIRECTED THIS SUPERB MOTION PICTURE, HE HUMBLY POOH-POOHED ME; BUT IT'S A WORK WORTHY OF BEING REDISCOVERED. PARAMOUNT REMADE IT IN 1937 WITH THE MUNDANE TITLE, "HER HUSBAND LIES"! RICARDO CORTEZ IS VERY GOOD IN THE LEADING ROLE; BUT IT'S NO "STREET OF CHANCE"! PARAMOUNT REUSED THAT TITLE IN 1940 FOR A BURGESS MEREDETH SUSPENSE PICTURE -- ENTERTAINING BUT, AGAIN, NO "STREET OF CHANCE" LIKE THE 1930 RELEASE! SINCERELY, RAY CABANA, JR.

[@marbleman52]

@@raymondcabana1122 Your response was very interesting to read. Obviously, you have a connection and familiarity with these older movies and with the director John Cromwell. Say...can I get an autograph...lol..!! As to William Powell: I did say: "I THOUGHT I had seen..." LOL..!! But that is good news...there are still movies with him that are yet to be watched...oh boy..!! Again, I very much enjoyed reading about your knowledge of these movies.

[@raymondcabana1122]

@@marbleman52 Hi! Was -- am -- delighted by your response to my comments. I'm almost to the point of not bothering with my sundry online responses, being as they rarely draw a response; and, if they do, it'll be a line or two but hardly anything more. Gone are the days I would get word from everyone from director Josef von Sternberg to comic Soupy Sales! It seems people "can't be bothered". And the Internet being so accessible, a plenitude of idiots (in my opinion) emerge from the proverbial woodwork, and get their asinine views printed. Attacks on mystery writer S.S. Van Dine (creator of Philo Vance) particularly irritate me, be these from pros or amateurs -- even John Loughery's biography of Van Dine was a hatchet job, yet garnered an Edgar from the Mystery Writers of America! So much for awards, which, more often than not, are no more than reflective of personal taste, which, unfortunately, isn't subject to being quantified. I'm a freelance writer, mostly film history. Also a collector. My print of "The Line-Up" (1929 talkie short) can be viewed on KZbin's "Geno Cuddy's House of Rare Films"; it's believed to be the only existing copy. Thanks! Gratefully, Ray

[@marbleman52]

@@raymondcabana1122 Good morning. I agree with you about it being frustrating when trying to have a discussion here in the comments section and all we get is a grunt or two that adds nothing to the topic. A grunt is not a discussion. I also get frustrated when I see someone responding to a comment and doesn't put the other person's handle first so we all know to whom the comment is directed. Now in all fairness I will admit that I do occasionally respond with just an "I agree" or something similar. It all depends on the topic and how the discussion is going. Ah, yes, Soupy Sales. I am 71 and I remember watching him on T.V. back in the 50's. I think it's neat that you used to have some contact with him. You are a freelance writer. That explains how you write so well. I like it. I enjoy the writing process myself and enjoy arranging the words and sentences and making them flow. I am not a professional writer, just someone who has always enjoyed writing. This has been fun. Steve J.

Very entertaining. An excellent plot. A different performance from Powell and the actor that plays Pete (?) was in a lot of films - a character actor, and he is super. Enjoyed the whole film but wish it had lasted a little longer - the outcome of the film wasn't fully realized.

@@keithharvey7230 Darn! Aren't you right! He was also in a great film - I do not remember the name, but it was with Powell as a condemned man who meets and falls in love with Merle Oberon, a woman condemned to an early death r/t heart disease. - Paul Hurst played the cop that was taking Powell to Sing Sing, to be executed. - "One Way Passage"?

Thanks for a movie I've never seen before it was nice to see William Powell without the dirty patch mustache with a ball cap he looks almost like a teenager

[@markadams7597]

What a great flick. (The hero was guilty of manslaughter, not really murder, and shouldn't have gone to prison. "The Joint" might not have been so bad in the '30s at the height of the Depression. At least, there were meals, clothing, and a roof to live under.) These 90+ year movies really tell the story of a very different era and people in America's past. Interesting, ending could've been much better.
