Love the cars and buildings. Pure history.

[@johngalvin6010]

Good movie from one of my favourite movie decades.

[@thejerseyj9422]

I can remember the only way to see these old movies was to go to a revival house. There were three of them in NYC that I used to go to in the 70's. My favorite was Theatre 80 St. Mark's. It was on St. Mark's place in the village. A small basement theater that sat maybe two hundred or so. What a great old theater!

[@thejerseyj9422]

@Glennsten Bergkvist Yes, you are so right It is the shared experience of the audience that adds so much to any film. And to know that you are among others who appreciate these old films

[@davidbondehagen1616]

In Seattle in the 70s there were three revival theaters on the U District within a few blocks from each other: the Movie House, the University, and the Seven Gables. And on Capitol Hill, there was the The Harvard Exit

[@90FF1]

The beautiful and talented Shirley Grey was a movie making machine in the 30s.. Another sad life from stardom of multiple marriages and family tragedy, ending in depression and seclusion. All too common.

[@DavidRice111]

Nearly the same tragic ending for Yvette Vickers ("Attack of the 50 Foot Woman", Attack of the Giant Leeches".) She died alone and became mummified before they discovered her. What a rotten way to go...

Excellent movie. Great viewing. I also liked the World Wide Feature woman holding the spinning globes at breast level at the beginning and end. I hadn't heard of this movie. Delighted to have found it. Thanks for posting.

[@DavidRice111]

Always liked Leon Ames in his early movies, and esp. as Wilbur's neighbor in "Mr. Ed". Here's an interesting excerpt from IMBd: On February 12, 1964, Leon Ames and his wife were held hostage by Lynn Brenner who burst into their home brandishing a .22 pistol and demanding $50,000. Ames, who owned several automobile dealerships, called one of his managers to bring the money. He notified police who arrested Brenner and freed the couple.

[@laurnaleto4622]

Interesting to see a half moons manicure (12:25) popularized in the 20s. SPOILER ALERT! DON'T READ THE FOLLOWING!!! Doesn't anyone wear a wedding ring? Difficult to watch the injury progression: bystanders carried her from the street up then stretchered down an expansive staircase with fractured spine, settles into hospital, husband takes time to travel...not call from the payphone... to doc to arrange critical care, dramatic surgery, surgically reconstructed she packs her things, plops on Max's couch to hear him tell her she's not at all well, plans ocean voyage from New York to settle in Vienna, runs across a stretch of pier after just being released from the grip of a care provider, rough tussle with vending guy, without rest makes it to the jail, ends with a zealous reunion hug. Give me Deborah Kerr on a sofa for months any day.

[@ilahildasissac1943]

I guess I'm the 30's, they did not know you should not move an injured person.

[@yolamontalvan9502]

@00:04 Nice set of globes in front of a beautiful girl. Well it is 1932.

[@amgrumm]

When he graduates from med school, this prominent-to-be doctor leaves behind his girlfriend because his parents promised for him to marry into another wealthy family. The ending brings you to tears more than once. I love it when these characters do the right thing. Makes for a satisfying ending.

[@bendendenhansen3769]

I found it funny the large spinning globes with the woman holding them at breast level. That's why I enjoy the pre coded movies Before the beginning of censorship of movies in 1935

[@margsview]

Best to ck your info--google Pre-code under the Hays act---started during the end of the silent pictures and really brought into force in 1934. Lasted till 1968, when replaced by the Motion Picture Production Code....MPPC . The standard joke at the time was to reference the 'rule' of both spouses placing and keeping 1 foot on the floor, while lying in bed in a so-called 'man and woman love scene'.
