Thank you for sharing. Nothing can touch the quality that the Hollywood Pioneers have given us. Mr. Powell was 41 years old when he made this film. He made 14 films with Ms. Myrna Loy (what a team). He and Ms. Loy left a body of work that we enjoy over 80 years later. He lived from July 29, 1892 to March 05, 1984. Ms. Loy lived August 02, 1905 to December 14, 1993.

Thank you for that information. I agree there were "so many" great movie stars from the early 20's up to 60's & 70's that I miss so much. Saddest is that too many great films have been "lost" due to storage of the films.

[@YOGI-yl4ff]

@@patdax5432 Unfortunately, they learned too late, the proper way to store those wonderful films of yore. Also, Loretta Young (01/06/1913 - 08/12/2001) wanted her television show distroyed because she felt the gowns she wore at the time would be laughed at in the future. Lillian Gish (10/14/1893 - 02/27/1993) worried that her films would be laughed at so she wanted hers distroyed as well. They did not stop to realize that we could learn so much from those that gave so much. Happy viewing from Las Vegas, NV April 05, 2019

This brings back memories of the Newhaven railroad in my birth state of Connecticut. My 2 auntie's worked for them, one of which was the sister of my grandfather Harold Graves who now deceased, was the Chief of 👮 police in New Haven. Everyone in the family worked for the city! Whenever I went to New York City, I took the New Haven railroad. Now a days, it's all different. Only Amtrak. I remember all the small Townes announced and even more. I kept listening for one of the actors to even mention the Taft hotel, the Park plaza or the Schubert theater. That's where lots of plays opened prior to going to Broadway. I love WM. Powell & Eugene pal atte. Thank you 4 this post!!!

He was a fun character actor. He and Powell were great here and even better in My Man Godfrey just 3 years later, and Powell and Lombard were wonderful in it; even after just having divorced, they didn’t show it. Hollywood sure tried to copy that film a couple of times, even stealing lines and actors, but there’s only one My Man Godfrey. The other knockoffs just look stupid in comparison, cheap imitations. Recycled scripts and themes couldn’t outdo that perfect casting.

You know, the actions of the victim in the film reminds me of a case in real life talked in an episode of Forensic Files: Son attacks his parents (mother survives), but the father with a bullet hole in his head, was able to walk through the house, doing the things he would do in the morning (prepping breakfast, picking up the newspaper), the man even picked up the spare key he hid in a potter plants at the entrance, since he locked himself out. Watching how they explain it was eerie, because been in a state of semi conscious as one bleeds to death while walking through the house, not having the idea his own son just shot him, really an dreadful way to go.

[@ddivincenzo1194]

There was a Lifetime movie made about that.

[@vintaqe_vibez5978]

There's another case of the son murdering his father with an axe, and his father woke up, did his morning activities before succumbing to his injuries. The mom was able to live, and now believes her son is innocent, even though she blamed him at first. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Crazy crazy crazy.

[@henrykujawa4427]

For decades, I wondered why they went thru so many actors playing Philo Vance. Then this week I read about how several studios got into a "bidding war" for rights to successive novels. NO care for consistency. There might be some good ones after this one, but I wonder if it's worth the bother. They replaced the actor who played the D.A. in this one. The next film, they replaced Vance. The one after that, they replaced Eugene Pallette. I could almost picture Warren William as Vance, but Paul Lukas? James Stephenson? Etc.? It's very odd there hasn't been a Philo Vance film made since the early 40s. But I suppose the aggressive inconsistency of the later films probably succeeded in KILLING the series. Michael Curtiz is known for having done some of the best, most popular films of his era. I see in this one he did the kind of job Orson Welles might have done later-- throwing everything he had into making a potentially dull, "overly-talkie" mystery as VISUAL as possible. The flashbacks showing what happened may well have inspired similar devices in "DEATH ON THE NILE" (1978), "THE BIG SLEEP" (1978), "EVIL UNDER THE SUN" (1982). The finale of this film was just jaw-dropping in its insane complexity!

I don’t know if you’d not know you’ve been stabbed… but then again I’ve had extreme injuries and one time just knew I was stuck out of my body and in too much pain to even breathe, with no memory of what was causing the pain, no memory of finding my phone or placing a call, just being on the phone and asking how you get back in your body if you can’t jump back into it, and how bad it hurt to breathe. I was going down. Thank God the person I randomly called from my contacts sent help. I barely remember just a few seconds of them in my house while I gathered my keys and belongings. Then I spent three months in the hospital, lucky to be alive. It was the last person you would normally call for help, not somebody that’s good in a crisis at all. But at least she knew that and sent someone else. I was delirious because I was not in my body, but I could see it, walking around. It’s pretty scary to get locked out of your own body. Access denied on the most serious level. It took three years to even remotely get back into it. I am still not completely lined up with it. It’s sort of like putting on a shirt or coat, but you don’t have both arms in and it’s buttoned all crooked. It’s sort of on, but not really. I know there are others out there, in the same situation. In some ways it’s kind of a little like being the walking undead. We don’t totally relate anymore to this place. If you live halfway in the spirit realm and halfway on earth, or 70% in the spirit realm and 30% on earth on a good day… It’s a challenge. Anyone that questions the spirit realm, or demons and God, they are real, and all I can say is you don’t want to be in the spirit realm (or here) without God. That’s the very first thing I learned. And once you learn that, you hang on to God, and you do not let go for anything. You have no idea what is just waiting for you, because while you’re in your body you are protected to a degree. People talk about it being a prison, but it is a protection. Not a prison. And the whole spirit realm is envious, and will pull any tricks to be able to hijack, or just hitchhike. You can look around at the very confused people in the world and you can guarantee they have a lot of hitchhikers, and they did something to let them in. And they are not so easy to get rid of, although there are ways to do that. And if it’s not a biblical way, then you’re just going to get more of them as you try to get rid of them. And no, you don’t need a Roman (pagan) Catholic priest, aka a counterfeit, you just need a real Christian. All real Christians are authorized (John 14:12, among others). And once I saw a guy sitting on the sidewalk who had been stabbed and his whole back was bloody, God only knows how many times he had been stabbed, because he still had his dark shirt on, and the massive amount of blood was obscuring any holes, and he was barely aware of it, but he was possibly strung out, and yes the ambulance was on the way. He was totally conscious, conversant. He knew he’d been stabbed, though, even if he wasn’t writhing in pain. And that is not an indication of not actually being in pain, there are a lot of very stoic people out there. They just refuse to show pain. No matter what.

I love how the thuggish Sergeant Heath threatens Liang. This was back when beating confessions out of suspects was accepted police procedure, especially if the suspect wasn't white. The movie itself is quite good, with some interesting camera work. Powell is his usual marvelous self. It's also interesting to see how the use of language has changed in the ninety years since this movie was made. For example, the DA says "sus-PECTS" when he refers to the people who are under suspicion, placing the emphasis on the second syllable--as a modern speaker would do when using that word as a verb--rather than the first, as is normal today when using it as a noun.
