The mysterious death of a notoriously candid author provides the basis
of this mystery.
Investigators do not believe the suicide note found

THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1937 (1936), directed by Mitchell
Leisen, is the third installment of the "Big Broadcast" musicals, and

with the sponsors, and many are threatening to pull their advertising
off the air.

Crime Without Passion is an odd, almost existential murder yarn. Famed attorney Claude Rains, incensed that his mistress (Margo) has been seeing other men, kills the girl--or at least thinks he does.
Rains believes he is "above" such irritations as conscience and morality, and calmly arranges to cover his crime, using his knowledge of the law to escape detection.
|
While the opening credits are
rolling, the audience is introduced to the five main suspects in the
murder of a certain Mr. Crosby. Police inspector Thomas (Alan Dinehart) believes that Lynn Ashton (Wynne Gibson), an ex-lover of the victim, is the most likely
suspect, though the audience is encouraged not to discount the elderly,
seemingly frail Lubeck (Edward Van Sloan), oafish thief Collins (Warren Hymer), heavily-in-debt gambler Willie (John
Wray), or even avuncular nightclub doorman Costello (J. Farrell McDonald).

Jim Warlock (Ronald Colman) is a successful British lawyer who has always displayed a solid and conservative nature in his business associations, his professional ethics, and his personal life.

|
Big city dime-a-dance girl Miriam Hopkins has a chance to leave the grind behind and marry musician Wm. Collier Jr, much to the displeasure of his friend, band leader Jack Oakie.

Meanwhile, a gangster (sleek "black snake" George Raft) from her past comes back into her life to complicate things and all three men battle for her affections.
|
Dancing Feet: Dancing Feet stars Joan Marsh as Judy, a society deb who lands a job as a dime-a-dance girl to spite her wealthy grandfather (Purnell Pratt). While her fiancé Peyton (Ben Lyon) stews, Judy strikes up a friendship with Jimmy (Eddie Nugent),
a bellhop who aspires to become a vaudeville dancer.
Turn Off The Moon: Department store owner Elliot Dinwiddy (Charlie Ruggles) never makes a decision without first consulting his astrologer Dr. Wakefield (Andrew Tombes).
Problem is, Dinwiddy's dependence upon the stars to dictate his fate
has a negative trickle-down effect on his impending marriage to his
secretary Myrtle Tweep (Marjorie Gateson) -- and on the romance between store employees Terry Keith (Johnny Downs) and Caroline Wilson (Eleanor Whitley).

Dangerous Curves: Circus life
provides the framework of this drama that chronicles the love, life,
and aspiration of a young circus waif. The aspiring star is learning to
walk the high-wire with the young wire-walker she adores. He
loves another, his partner, but she is untrue to him. As a result he is
almost on the edge of a breakdown.
True to the Navy:
Clara Bow's flat Brooklynese voice seems perfectly suited for
the rowdy goings-on in True to the Navy. The "It" girl plays Ruby
Nolan, owner of a drug store frequented by she-sick sailors. Each of
the gobs assumes that he's the only man in Ruby's life, and when
several of her boyfriends converge upon the pharmacy all at once, they
tear the joint apart.

before the wedding can take place, WW I intervenes, and both Alan and
Gerald march off with their regiments. Blinded on the battlefield, Alan

neutral, is permitted to travel unmolested to and from France.
Veidt
plays a supposedly disgraced German officer who is actually head of his
country's secret service. The two fall in love, despite the fact that Leigh has a secret as well: she is a double agent, sympathetic towards the Allied cause.

An appreciative, uncritical look at silent film comedies and thrillers from early in the century through the 1920s. It starts with a 1905 look at French comedy, goes through the 1910s with Sennett, Chaplin, and Fairbanks, and into the 1920s with Max Roach, Snub Pollard, Harry Langdon, Al St. John, Charlie Chase, and the teaming of Laurel and Hardy.
|
Ronald Colman plays the "black sheep" of a wealthy British family, sent to South Africa so that he'll be as far away from home as possible. Broke again, Colman auctions off his belongings and heads for London to the less-than-open arms of his father (Frederick Kerr). He begins to dally with a saucy actress (Myrna Loy), but soon his attentions shift to a young heiress (Loretta Young) engaged to a nobleman. The heiress manages to set Colman on the straight and narrow, so he renounces his wastrel ways and settles down--but not before breaking up the girl's upcoming wedding. Based on a play by Frederick Lonsdale, Devil to Pay is dated only in its subject matter; on a purely technical level, the film hardly betrays its age at all.
|
The Devil's Holiday (1930 - 80 min)
Nancy Carroll brings a touch of freshness to Devil's Holiday. Ms. Carroll plays a manicurist who
woos and weds wealthy Phillips Holmes. She tells herself that she
harbors no mercenary notions, but when Holmes' family offers to buy her
off if she'll leave, Carroll accepts the offer.
Stolen Heaven (1931 - 73 min)
Nancy Carroll plays Mary, the streetwalker sweetheart of
born-loser Joe (Phillips Holmes). Engineering a $20,000 robbery, Mary
and Joe draw up a pact to spend all the money foolishly and then commit
suicide.
|
The French Foreign Legion is the setting for this episodic adventure yarn. Victor Jory plays a Legion doctor falsely accused of murdering his commander over the love of Loretta Young.

As "Agent X-27" our heroine proves invaluable to her superiors, seducing and betraying enemy officers with the greatest of ease. But when she falls in love with Russian spy Lt. Kranau (Victor McLaglen), she permits him to escape her clutches, and as a consequence is sentenced to be executed.
|
Filmed in lavish Technicolor and given Tiffany production values by producer Alexander Korda, the British comedy Divorce of Lady X is at base a trivial little farce, buoyed by the sprightly performances of star Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier.
|
Set in 1910 Manhattan, the film stars Mary Morris and Anne Revere,
repeating their stage roles as domineering, calculating Victoria Van
Brett and her weakling sister Caroline. The title refers to the door
guarding the Van Brett's secret vault, wherein are stored the family
jewels.
Years earlier, Victoria, the only member of the family who
knows the vault's combination, locked Caroline in the dark, airless
chamber, literally frightening her into madness.

chateau in their hometown of Claremore.

Dude Ranch: Two of Hollywood's
best contract comedians made a rare joint appearance in Dude Ranch.
Jack Oakie heads the cast as Jenifer, the head of a traveling troupe of
repertory actors. Finding themselves on the premises of a dude
ranch, Jenifer and his actors strike up a deal with ranch proprietor
Chester Carr (Stuart Erwin).
Florida Special: A Florida-bound train is filled with romance and intrigue in this
comedy. Among the passengers is a millionaire bon vivant carrying $1
million in diamonds. He is fully aware that a gang of would-be jewel
thieves have followed him and so pretends to be an invalid with an ice
bag perpetually stuck to his head.
|
Several of Hollywood's brightest stars make cameo appearances in this comedy set in "Duffy's Tavern," a favorite watering hole from old time radio shows.
|
People Will Talk 1935 - 67 min. People Will Talk was another one of
the moneymaking comedies starring Charles Ruggles and Mary Boland. This
time the middle-aged pair try to patch up the marriage of their
daughter (Leila Hyams) and son-in-law Dean Jagger, with hair). They do
this to quell the local gossip mongers, who have been set abuzz by the
fact that daughter has come home alone.
Early to Bed 1936 - 75 min. In one of the
best Charlie Ruggles-Mary Boland vehicles of the 1930s, Ruggles plays a
mild mannered husband prone to sleepwalking. His nocturnal prowlings
cause no end of embarrassment for his wife (Mary Boland), especially
since Ruggles is a more aggressive personality when asleep.
|
Grant's dreams of connubial bliss are shattered when he's forced to trail along while Landi tours the world with a huge entourage; he's also not happy with his wife's frequent temperamental outbursts.

In this romance, an impoverished Viennese aristocrat becomes a gigolo. While on the job, he encounters a Yankee widow who is terribly impressed by titled men. They get involved and she helps him start afresh.
|
The Ben W. Levy play Evergreen proved to be an excellent film vehicle from British music-comedy star Jessie Matthews. Our heroine plays a popular music hall thrush of the early 1900s, whose impending marriage into nobility is destroyed by the arrival of her long-thought-dead lover.
|
Every Night At Eight: Alice
Faye, Frances Langford, and Patsy Kelly play three humble factory
workers (with a Hollywoodized wardrobe beyond the budget of any genuine
factory girl) who occasionally sing together for the fun of it. They
harbor dreams of becoming famous, but the prospect isn't likely until
bandleader George Raft hears the girls harmonizing.
Melody In Spring:
Radio tenor Lanny Ross made a game bid for film stardom in Melody in
Spring. Though Ross, cast as one John Craddock, is given top billing,
the picture belongs to the delightful screen team of Charlie Ruggles
and Mary Boland as Warren and Mary Blodgett, sponsors of a popular
network radio
program. The
inimitable Hermann Bing and the three Gale sisters --Joan, Jane and June -- dominate the supporting cast.
|
Alice Kendall is the darling of her social set, the sons and daughters of millionaires, although Alice's mother has impoverished herself to provide Alice with the luxuries she expects as her right.

on his burly shoulders.
Bromberg is cast as Matthew Jerico, a sheriff
in the Death Valley region of California, at present assigned to solve
the murder of a wealthy miner.
The killing took place at a swank
tourist resort, meaning that Jerico has hundreds of suspects to choose
from.

FALSE MADONNA: A pair of grifters, one of whom is impersonating a doctor, assist a
sick woman while riding a train. After the woman dies, the female
con-artist assumes her identity so that she can collect a large amount
of money.

corrupt vice squad and it nearly destroys his career. He survives the
incident with reputation intact. But then the cops come 'round again.
|
Father Brown, Detective: G.K. Chesterton's crime-solving cleric Father Brown was first brought to the screen in 1934, in the corpulent form of Walter Connolly. The good father spends most of the film trying to retrieve a valuable diamond cross from elusive thief Flambeau (Paul Lukas).
Father Brown is convinced that Flambeau is eminently redeemable, but
the double-crossing thief hardly proves to be a prime candidate for
salvation.
Wharf Angel: Adapted from an earlier European film, Wharf Angel stars Dorothy Dell as Toy, a golden-hearted prostitute stranded in San Francisco. Toy finds hope for redemption when she falls in love with Como (Preston S. Foster), a sailor on the lam from a murder charge. In Madame Butterfly
fashion, the heroine promises to wait for Como until he is able to
clear himself.
|
In Feather in Her Hat, Pauline Lord plays cockney storekeeper
Clarissa Phipps, who worries that her son Richard will grow up being
ashamed of her humble vocation. Thus, she loftily pretends that she's
not Richard's mother, and that the boy is actually the offspring of a
prominent theatrical family.
Upon reaching adulthood, Richard (Louis Hayward) becomes a prominent playwright, confident
that the stage is in his blood, while Clarissa secretly sells her store
at a loss to finance Richard's first production.

demeanor, their cynicism, and the cruel jokes they play.

with investigating the death of a mobster, fatally shot in his hotel
suite during a card game. The police call him to the scene to look at
the corpse.
|
Girl O' My Dreams
Long before its "Teen Agers" series of the 1940s, Monogram Pictures went to college in the musical Girl of My Dreams. Heading the somewhat over-aged student body are BMOC Larry Haynes (Edward Nugent) and track-star Don Cooper (a handsome young Lon Chaney Jr., here still billed as Creighton Chaney).
The Melody Lingers On

Glamour Boy: Former child star Jackie Cooper headlines this sentimental behind-the-scenes comedy drama. He plays an ex-child star who now jerks sodas for a living in Hollywood.
Let's Fall in Love: A genial lampoon of the Greta Garbo craze, Let's Fall in Love stars Ann
Sothern as Jean, a Brooklyn-born aspiring actress. It so happens that
Ken (Edmund Lowe), an ambitious movie director, is searching for a
Swedish actress to replace his temperamental star Forsell (Tala
Birrell).
|
A play by Nina Wilcox Putnam was the source for the empire-building drama Golden Harvest.
Chester Morris
stars as ambitious grain trader Chris Martin, who through fair and foul
means corners the wheat market and becomes a millionaire.
Outgrowing
his humble farm beginnings, Chris makes a bid for respectability by
marrying Chicago socialite Cynthia Flint (Genevieve Tobin).
|
The story is the familiar one of young Pip (George Breakstone as a boy, Phillips Holmes as an adult) whose future wealth is assured through the auspices of a mysterious benefactor. It turns out that Pip's "guardian angel" is condemned convict Magwich (Henry Hull), repaying a favor the lad had done for him years earlier.
|
Akim Tamiroff
plays the Great Gambini, a famous magician mixed up in a murder case.
In addition to his card tricks and onstage illusions, Gambini is
something of a mystic, and has predicted the death of the murder
victim.
Suspects breed like rabbits, but the actual culprit turns out
to be the only person Gambini truly loves (It's not hard to figure out
who done it; only in the last reel do we find out why).

The Great Hotel Murder:
A writer of mysteries helps a house detective solve a murder in this
murder mystery. The murder occurs in the hotel in which the writer is
staying. It is a mystery because, though the corpse was found in a
hotel room, it was not the room he had registered for.
Guilty as Hell:
Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe carry their pugnacious Quirt-and-Flagg
relationship into the murder mystery genre in Guilty as Hell. Actually,
there's very little mystery involved, since the audience is informed at
the outset that dignified Dr. Tindall (Henry Stephenson) is responsible
for the death of his faithless wife (Claire Dodd).
|
In this murder mystery, a man goes into a bar and begins telling his story to the bartender. His tale is depicted in flashback. It all began while he was romancing a young woman. The trouble began when her twin sister was killed and stuffed into an incinerator. The three prime suspects were the girl's boyfriend, a spurned lover, and the storyteller.
|
GUN SMOKE
A bunch of urban gangsters, forced out of the Big City when the cops put
the screws in, head to Idaho to continue their crooked activities in
the Wide Open Spaces.
THE SECRET CALL
Peggy Shannon
plays Wanda Kelly, the daughter of a disgraced politician. Reduced to
working as a switchboard operator, Wanda is privy to the many secrets
and indiscretions of the clients of a big-city hotel.
|
Set in Quebec during the
early part of the 20th century, the film concentrates on the activities
of a large French-Canadian family headed by Charles Boyer. Most of the humor arises from "coming of age"
complications and sexual awakenings, especially when worldly prodigal
son Louis Jourdan returns to the fold and
exercises his influence on impressionable young Bobby Driscoll.

Heads Up: In this action-musical, a Coast Guard ensign must investigate a yacht
suspected of smuggling alcohol. While aboard, he falls for a lovely
young woman. The woman disobeys her mother and begins seeing the ensign
who soon discovers that the brains behind the operation is the man the
woman's mother wanted her to marry.
Pointed Heels:
William
Powell was still in his tux-and-top-hat period when he starred in
Pointed Heels. The scene is Broadway, where millionaire Robert
Courtland (Powell) promises to back a new musical production on the
proviso that bit player Lora Nixon (Fay Wray)
be given a major role.
|
Ralph Bellamy stars as Dr. Holden,
aka "The Healer," a medical doctor operating a charity camp at a
mineral spring in the Adirondacks. When vacationing socialite Joan
Bradshaw (Judith Allen) is thrown from her
horse, Dr. Holden performs a tricky operation that restores her to
perfect health.
They fall in love, but Joan has a less than savory
influence on the good doctor, who forgets all about his charity work in
general and lame little Jimmy (Rooney) in particular.
|
First-time director Lew Ayres performs miracles on a tiny budget in the Civil War drama Hearts in Bondage. The story offers a romanticized version of the events leading up to the battle between the "ironclads" Monitor and Merrimac.
The
real stars of Hearts in Bondage are Republic's special-effects mavens Howard and Theodore Lydecker, whose splendid utilization of scale models in the climactic Monitor-Merrimac confrontation is both exciting and convincing.
|
Even allowing for the comparative freedom of the pre-Production Code years, 1930's Hell Harbor was pretty
strong meat for its time.
The story is set on a remote Caribbean island, entirely populated by descendants of Sir Henry Morgan's pirate crew. Morgan's brutish great-great-grandson Henry Morgan (Gibson Gowland) intends to shower himself with gold and to that end forces his daughter Anita (Lupe Velez) into a marriage with despicable moneylender Joseph Horngold (Jean Hersholt).
Coming to Anita's rescue is shipwrecked American sailor Bob Wade (John Holland), whose presence sparks an unchecked riot on the island. Director Henry King also produced the film through his own Inspiration Pictures Corporation.

Hell-Ship Morgan (George Bancroft) is the brawny skipper of a small fishing
schooner. Supplying fish for a San Francisco cannery, Morgan works hard
and relaxes even harder, boasting not one but several girls in every
port.
Our hero's roving days come to an end when he marries Mary (Ann
Sothern), who agrees to a honeymoon on Morgan's schooner. Once on
the high seas, Mary can't help but fall in love with Morgan's first mate
Jim (Victor Jory), but before Morgan can take
retaliatory action, the tiny vessel is hit by a hurricane.
|
Two brothers exchange lifestyles in this drama. The older brother, a
gambler, wants to lead a clean, crime-free life while his wiseacre
younger brother wants to become a professional gambler.
With great
hesitation, the older teaches the younger all he knows. The younger
brother is a quick study and ends up playing so well that he aces a
group of veteran gamblers out of their money.
|
Besieged by his adoring
female fans, Ned Farrar, "The Fireside Troubadour" hides out at the home of his wife Queena's (Peggy Conklin) imperious Aunt Min (Laura Hope Crews).
He pretends to be Aunt Min's
handyman, performing his tasks so well that the old lady refuses to let
him leave! This in itself is amusing enough, but the producers felt that
a few low laughs were needed, thus the film ends in a slapstick car
chase.
|
1934's Here Comes the Groom stars Jack
Haley as an unobtrusive little guy who wants to succeed as a
criminal. In order to win the heart of hard-boiled Isabel Jewell,
Haley must prove he has what it takes to

crooner.

Hollywood Boulevard 1936 - 70 min. Hollywood
Boulevard is a trenchant look at the underside of Tinseltown. Though
the nominal hero is a disillusioned screenwriter played by Robert
Cummings (whose dialogue anticipates the lines spoken by William Holden
in 1950's Sunset Boulevard), the focus of the story is John Halliday as
a washed-up film star.
The Preview Murder Mystery 1936 - 60 min.It's
a black night in Hollywood when matinee idol Neil DuBeck (Rod LaRoque)
is murdered at the preview of his latest film. Director E. Gordon Smith
(Ian Keith), who has long harbored a deep hatred for DuBeck, is the
main suspect — until he too is killed, along with a movie-studio
watchman (Spencer Charters).

Professor Simpson was a chemistry professor at a Midwestern college. He was in love with the Dean's daughter, Deborah Greenleaf and hoped that someday they would be married.

Spanning the period from the 1919 Treaty of Versailles to the 1929 stock
market crash, the special utilizes documentary footage and clips from
dramatic films to recreate the era of "wonderful nonsense."
The viewer
is offered a kaleidoscope of landmark events, fads, foibles, and
celebrities: the passage of the 18th Amendment, which led to
Prohibition, speakeasies, and the rise of the gangster culture; the hero
worship bestowed upon baseball legend Babe
Ruth and "lone eagle" aviator Charles Lindbergh; public "crazes" like
mahjongg and the Charleston; the "return to Normalcy" expounded by
President Warren Harding and the "Business of America is Business"
philosophy of his successor Calvin Coolidge; and on less frivolous note,
the ascendance of the Ku Klux Klan and the disastrous aftereffects of
the Florida Land Boom.
|
Jimmy is a wiseguy press agent whose efforts to promote a meat-packing

The Lottery Bride: Based on
"Bride 66", a tone poem by composer Herbert Stothart, The Lottery Bride

Errol). Fritzi, however, commits one indiscretion too many and the local prefect of police (Henry Kolker)
orders her to take a six months "vacation" in the country, but the

convinces Lilli to go in her stead.

In his second starring role, Fred MacMurray plays a government man who travels
incognito as he trails a team of crooks from Brooklyn to Kansas.
Lynne Overman is MacMurray's easygoing partner, who
(naturally) is rubbed out by the hoods. MacMurray inveigles his way into
the gang and brings them to justice--the ones who survive, that is.

Billie Burke netted a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her batty portrayal of the family matron. Constance Bennett is a delight as the zany daughter and Clarence Kolb is incredibly acrobatic for his age as the put upon husband and father of the group.
And Brian Aherne should have netted an Oscar nomination for his breezy and inventive comedy performance - a gem. The film netted five Oscar nomination in total: Supporting Actress, Sound, Song, Art Direction and Cinematography. This is a delight from start to finish!

Not a remake of the 1917 Mabel Normand vehicle of the same name, Mickey was based on Clementine,
a novel by Peggy Goodin. The tomboyish title character is played by
redheaded Lois Butler, whom Eagle-Lion Studios was trying to build into
a major name. During her awkward transition to womanhood, Mickey Kelly
takes time out to find an eligible wife for her widowed father George
(Bill Goodwyn). Of the two likeliest candidates, bitchy Lydia Matthews
(Rose Hobart) seems to have the inside track, but Mickey vastly prefers
down-to-earth Louise Williams (Irene Hervey). The best performance is
delivered by Skippy Homeier as Hank Evans, the boy who awakens Mickey's
own amorous yearnings.

drama, a girl whose father was murdered by gangsters wants to marry

the marriage so that she can break it up later. However, she changes
her mind about the whole thing when it is revealed that her other son
was involved with the murder.
Wild Gold: This off-beat romantic melodrama contains elements of comedy not
usually found in the genre as it tells the story of the love between a
show girl fleeing from her husband, a grifter. She heads to a mining
company and ends up involved with a dam engineer. When a dam
accidentally breaks, the engineer's wife is conveniently swept away.
Happiness ensues. The flood footage was lifted from The Johnstown Flood (1926).

A multi-character drama set in a suburban neighborhood, The Night of June 13th takes place in four households. One of these is inhabited by unhappy husband Clive Brook,
who is accused of murdering his wife.
Actually, she has committed
suicide, but those neighbors who could provide Brook with an alibi
remain silent for selfish reasons of their own. Leavening the dramatic
content is the comedy relief of Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles
as a married couple with in-law problems. Brook is saved at the last
minute by an elderly neighbor who blasts the cowardice of the other
suburbanites.

enamored of his hero that he doesn't notice.

Brazilian artist (Aurora)

irate son kills the groom during the ceremony, and then shoots himself.

The film's star is Helen Morgan, a roadhouse chanteuse whose gangster bosses head a
murderous bootleg operation. Charlie Ruggles portrays an inveterate drinker who

is a news reporter whose phony drunkenness is a cover for his

and gangster melodrama. In truth, Durante
is a special added attraction, together with his nightclub partners Lou
Clayton and Eddie Jackson.

the beautiful, but cold, Countess Foldessy (Claire Dodd), and Tony plans to make Ilona a star so

course, and soon both men are fighting over Ilona, the outraged countess
left to instead pursue Jason's butler, Von Hemisch (Curt Bois).

Akins' archetypal "gold-digger" stage comedy The Greeks Had a Word
for It was transferred to the screen in 1933, with the "It"
changed to "Them" in the title, reportedly at the insistence of
over-cautious producer Sam
Goldwyn (this became a moot point in the 1940s, when the film was
reissued as Three Broadway Girls).
Ina
Claire, Madge Evans, and Joan Blondell star as ex-showgirls Jean, Polaire, and
Schatze, who pool their resources to rent a luxurious penthouse
apartment. Their strategy is as follows: if they live like millionaires,
dress like millionaires and act like millionaires, they'll be able to
attract wealthy boyfriends.
|

knuckleheaded brothers to look for work.

but keeps her husband in the dark about her feelings — until he's

manager of a Malaysian rubber plantation marries a singer facing
deportation. He offers her a miserable existence of abuse and

Tom Sawyer, A 1930 Christmas release, was the first talkie version of Mark Twain's beloved novel. A rapidly maturing Jackie Coogan is well cast as Tom, while Junior Durkin is even better as Tom's freewheeling pal Huck Finn.
Juvenile impressionist Mitzi Green comes on strong in the normally demure role of Becky Thatcher, but that's what her fans expected. On the other hand, Jackie Searl and Clara "Auntie Em" Blandick
are perfectly typecast as, respectively, Sid Sawyer and Aunt Polly.
