38:38 For anyone who doesn't get the reference, Number 9 in Yokohama (also known as Jimpuro or the Nectarine) was a world famous Japanese brothel that opened at 9, Takashima-cho in 1872. It moved in 1882 but the name "Number 9" followed it until it was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. It was famous enough that Rudyard Kipling mentions it in passing one of his poems where he lists off a bunch of famous whorehouses. Loads of info about it online, it was one of the best known operations in the city's red light district.

At 43:36, when the desk sergeant says "Take a look at the 400 and see if they are all there," this is a reference to a famous list compiled by wealthy New York socialite Caroline Astor in 1892, of the 400 most influential people in New York's high society. "The 400" became a slang expression for wealthy social elites.

I'm really getting into early 1930's films, both American and British. This one is an entertaining mix of romantic screwball comedy and murder mystery. Ginger Rogers's leading man, Lyle Talbot, turns in a performance embracing both genres. Notably, after finishing his leading man years he played the first Commissioner Gordon for the 1949 movie serial, Batman and Robin. Then he became first to play master-criminal Lex Luthor in the 1950 movie, Atom Man Vs. Superman. He is perhaps best known for playing next door neighbor Joe Randolph in dozens of TV episodes of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, as well as supporting roles in numerous other classic TV shows! And throughout this film I thought I was looking at a young Ray Milland!

Louis B. Mayor at MGM insisted on authenticity so armies of set designers and production teams scoured Europe, Asia and America for authentic antiques, millions spent, promptly losing all value. They sawed off table and chair legs so short "stars" looked taller, large armoires fit into small sets, and studio carpenters made thousands of alterations to priceless Louis Quinze et al.

J. Farrell MacDonald 1875-1952), who plays Capt. Ryan, had lots of character roles from 1915 to 1951, mainly for director John Ford. He taught acting at USC in Los Angeles in the 30's. He played Irish cops when not in westerns. He went to Yale where he played football. He graduated with an LL.B. from Yale, and an LL.D in Canada - but didn't practice law to my knowledge. Also educated in mining.

For a 1932 movie, apart from some humming in some scenes, audio quality is surprisingly good. I guess all of the scenes used direct recording, no dubbing. You can listen to the sounds and noises and the natural reverbaration of the rooms where filming took place. The movie is also very good. I liked the pace, how actors seem relaxed and amusing. My father was one year old when this movie was released.

My parents were in their mid-20s, living in New York City having arrived 7 years prior from Ireland. Mother worked in domestic service and father drove a cab in Manhattan for 20 years. Typical of immigrants even today. Father knew many actors and celebrities from working that gig. Besides the art and fun of these films they also bring historical perspective for me.

Wayne hired him later for a film role knowing Hurst had terminal cancer; and Hurst then committed suicide at age 64.

I'm a thousand years old, so I guess I kinda feel fortunate in a way. As a youth, I would spend time with great grand parents. I would hear about life that youngsters nowadays might find incredible. For example, talking with people who fought in the civil war ! And hearing of their stories of the times of their own grandparents ! It's almost unreal. All of that 'old stuff' is fondly familiar. I know it all well - and I guess I kinda miss it all too. I think an especially funny moment was when that bumbling W.C. Fields looking policeman answered the phone, later noticing that rather than the telephone, he was holding a gun to his head.

Armitage Trail who wrote the novel this film was based on, was the first un-approved biographer of Al Capone. It was Trail's best known work titled "Scarface" which was made into a film in 1932. Trail died in 1930, somewhat mysteriously and suddenly at the age of 28 while at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles. Capone denied any responsibility....
@mecormany
@mecormany 8 жыл бұрын
Armitage Trail weighed well over 300 pounds, was a chain-smoker, ate like a horse and drank like a fish. He had a heart attack leaving a movie theater. So Capone was right to deny responsibility. He also loved the life of a semi-famous young author, wearing capes and large floppy hats and partying at any opportunity. Quite a character.

Spoiler. If the first girl was an imposter, how did she know the names of everyone who was at the dinner years ago and where they sat at the table. She was in the house all alone thinking back to when she was a child. Dad sat there, Harold set there, Etc.
@lindaours4038

SPOILER ALERT The girl in the beginning isn't an imposter; she's the real Marie, the same person we see throughout most of the movie. The only time we see the imposter is when she's dead and her body has been set up at the table by the murderer. Every other time we see a girl who's supposed to be Marie, it is indeed the real Marie. The off-screen gunshot and scream at the end of that beginning sequence are designed to make us think somebody was killed, most likely the girl we just saw, but later in the story, it becomes clear that this was the sound of an attempted murder, not a successful one. The real Marie was indeed shot at but escaped and hid inside the house, then eventually fled in the policeman's car, crazy with fear after seeing her imposter's dead body at the dining table. The imposter had been electrocuted, not shot, as is determined early on by the police. Details about the real Marie's experience as summarized above are brought out in conversations between Winston and the policeman Ryan at about 48:30 and about 1:01. (It's also established at 13:37 that the imposter, who at that point in the movie had been identified as Marie, had Marie's "whole life story" in her handbag. It makes sense that someone who was ready to impersonate someone else would have a lot of information about that person at hand.) Anyway, it's supposed to be the same woman (the real Marie) in every scene except the one where she's a body set up at the table.

On Broadway, she had been in Girl Crazy (I believe that was the name of the play) around 1930. Interestingly, she and Fred Astaire knew each other since they both performed on the stage, they used to go dancing socially together around this time. They weren't a romantic couple, they just enjoyed dancing together. In this play, she sang and danced. Their first film together was in Flying Down to Rio in 1933.

Ginger Rogers is one of my most favorite people. I see no doubt that she and I would have had loads of fun - IF I had the money to back it up. But even if I didn't - I think she would have been one of those wonderful women that didn't need Money to make her smile. She's a natural.

She was making like over 200 k in 1939. Plus she was engaged to Howard Hughes. Makes me miffed they never mentioned her in aviator. He cheated on her with a 16 year old. Creepy. She threw his ring at him and left the hospital. He had a head on collision when she told him she never wanted to see him again.

+JustSomeChick Wood During the early 30's, the industry was just making the transition to sound so the acting and dialogue was rather stiff and awkward. By the end of the decade, you'll notice as vast improvement.

I always thought that the over-emoting was a carry-over from theater, when a performer had to exaggerate expressions and movements so the folks in the cheap seats could see what was going on. I call it "The Shatner Effect".

Yeah WC, I caught that allusion too. Most audiences back then would go with them being boyfriends. Seems like a Hollywood pre-censor thing. I imagine most folks knew of some pair of guys who were inseparable. Except at 48:30, the sleuth says "I think they're all right. Jensen's in love with the girl and her brother seems genuinely fond of her." And yet, Jensen is either extremely shy, never says much to her, or the sleuth has got him wrong.
