The Bowery 1933 Pre Code Wallace Beery, George Raft, and Faye Wray

High energy Raoul Walsh classic from 1933, The Bowery places saloon owner and operator Wallace Beery against bitter rival and dandy, George Raft, with adopted street kid Jackie Cooper and good looking Faye Wray in roles that play in between their big rivalry. It's not clear exactly what the rivalry is all about, but everyone follows it in the daily tabloids. Plenty of wisecracks at the beginning, but the characters soften up as the film progresses. Apart from that is the sheer exuberance of the scenes in Beery's saloon. The various characters, sexy chorus line, lots of drinking, a perfect creation of a den of iniquity not too refrained by so-called pre-code restrictions, and then later come the Carrie Nations led by Carrie Nation herself. It all creates a very vivid picture of a life that's long gone. I don't like to compare eras, but this film is completely and totally different from anything one would see today. The film has plenty of heart and long lost innocence and is absolutlely a must see.

Imagine this powerhouse in a rep. Theater like the Castro in San Francisco. The giant high square box of a screen just like the way this was shown back in the thirties. What a night on the town.

Thanks for this movie. I love this movie❤Wallace Beery is awesome 😮George Raft wearing a derby is far from his wearing his usual classic fedora. 😊 Harold Huber is one of my favorite actors.

THEY SHOULD PLAY THIS ON MAIN STREAM TV SO EVER BODY COULD SEE A GREAT MOVIE

[@ChrisCarlin-is8wv]

No car chases, no cgi special effects and no raunchy sex scenes. The networks wouldn’t allow it.😢

OMG, just 10 minutes in and my gut is sore from laffing! ...Gotta see the rest now, Thank You! Raft in that bowler looks like an evil leprechaun, love him! Beery has a perfect name 🤣 and there's even a herd of cute kittens! Women were: "skirts, frails and hairpins !!!" Haaaaahaa

OUTSTANDING!

[@kmterpin]

Very enjoyable. Turns out the bridge jump was based on a true event. Favorite lines: "They were hip to us so they copped it!" ~Swipes And, "Stand aside, Son of Satan!" ~Carrie Nation

[@docsmithdc]

There was only one Fay Wray.

[@sulevisydanmaa9981]

Walsh is terribly underrrated. As is Wellman ...evneev

[@sclogse1]

Oh yeah. William Wellman was on the level of Howard Hawks. I read his book. All these guys..Sternberg, Lewis Milestone...they were probably reading the pulps of the day before becoming directors.
