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

a few low laughs were needed, thus the film ends in a slapstick car
chase.

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."

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.

In this romantic comedy, a Parisian businessman heads for South American for a busman's holiday. There he hopes to have some fun and negotiate a deal concerning the mining of valuable nitrate deposits. Naturally, he carries the necessary contract with him. Knowing this, two con-artists conspire to steal it from him. The unwitting businessman is also pursued by a man-hungry spinster and a love-struck, nosy switchboard operator who taps his phone and ultimately saves his bacon.
|
An amorous sailor named Dynamite (Lew
Ayres) bets his pals that he can "thaw" icy beauty-contest winner
Billie (Mary Carlisle).
What follows is a series of
misunderstandings, arguments and reconciliations, all wrapped up in a
happy-ever-after conclusion.
|
When blue-blooded widower Robert Rossiter (Walter Huston) announces his
plans to marry salesgirl Joyce Roamer (Claudette Colbert), his family
goes out of their way to stop the engagement.
Despite their original suspicion that Joyce (Colbert) was only involved
with their father for his money, however, the upper crust family
eventually welcomes her as one of their own.

Before sitting down to watch Love and Hisses, it's important to know that columnist Walter Winchell and bandleader Ben Bernie were engaged in a phony but highly publicized feud in the late 1930s. For the purposes of this film, the source of the Winchell-Bernie contretemps is pretty nightclub singer Simone Simon.

American actress Sylvia Sidney plays Japanese maiden Cio-Cio San, while Cary Grant is the dashing American navy lieutenant Pinkerton.

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.

Midnight Club: Everybody in
The Midnight Club is seeing double, and it's all the handiwork of slick
London criminal mastermind Colin Grant (Clive Brook). Anyone who wants
to commit a crime and get away with it had better get in touch with
Grant, who obligingly provides exact doubles of the criminals so as to
establish an alibi.
Yours For The Asking: In this crime comedy, a street-savvy gangster involves himself with a
Miami socialite. Together, they conspire to turn her familial mansion
into a secret gambling casino. The hood is convinced her beauty will
draw customers and with the ensuing profits, the two will be able to
pay their debts.

In this drama, a Boy Scout leader hosts a local gossip show. Trouble ensues when he predicts a politician's murder just before it occurs. He is arrested by the DA, but before getting to jail, he is abducted by irate gangsters--the real killers. Fortunately, his loyal Scout troop rallies to his rescue.
|
Based on the recent Lindbergh kidnapping, Miss Fane's Baby is Stolen features German actress Dorothea Wieck, who achieved international fame in Maedchen in Uniform.
|
The provocatively titled Miss Susie Slagle's is actually a leisurely, sentimental story set in a turn-of-the-century boarding house. The title character, played by Lillian Gish, is the house's landlady, catering exclusively to young doctors and nurses in training.

Secretary Carol Baldwin (Jean Arthur) is in love with her boss, health-magazine publisher Fred Gilbert (George Brent). So what else is new?
|
The story opens in Smelter City, Arizona, where the richest man in town is grizzled old Indian fighter Lafe Cantillon (Fred Stone). Lafe's social-climbing sister-in-law (Billie Burke) insists that her daughter Mary wed a titled European, Count Ferdinand (Francis Lederer).
|
My Marriage: In this crime
drama, a girl whose father was murdered by gangsters wants to marry
into a rich family. Her fiance's mother hates the idea, but consents to
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).

Mitzi Green Fights Like a Boy! Director Norman Taurog was developing quite a specialty directing kids during the early talkie era, and lucky for us he kept coming back to it. NEWLY RICH (aka FORBIDDEN ADVENTURE, based on Sinclair Lewis' LET'S PLAY KING) is one of the more obscure examples, and deserves our attention.

After several false starts, opera star Grace Moore became a motion picture success in the sublimely assembled One Night of Love.
Moore
opens the film by losing a radio talent contest in New York. She
disconsolately heads to Europe, where the best job she can come up with
is singing in a restaurant. Here she is discovered by brilliant
voice-teacher Tulio Carminatti, who carefully nurtures Moore
until she becomes the toast of the European opera world.
|
Mary Ellis plays Simone, who breaks up her long-standing engagement with Paul de Lille (Carminati) because she balks at the notion of marriage. Simultaneously, young lovers Mignon (Ida Lupino) and Albert (James Blakely) split up for the same reason.

Legendary songwriter and vaudevillian George M. Cohan made his first appearance in a sound film with this satiric musical comedy. Theodore Blair (Cohan)
is a politician running for president; while he has talent and
intelligence, he's unfortunately as exciting as warm milk, and he is
not doing well on the campaign trail.
|
Probation:
Sally Blane (Loretta Young's look-alike sister) plays Janet, a
Manhattan socialite who is fed up with the superficiality of her
friends. Sensing that Janet is bored with life in general, her Uncle
George (J. Farrell McDonald), who happens to be a judge, decides to
show the girl how well off she really is.
Thrill of a Lifetime: "Camp Romance," a place for the romantically challenged, provides the
setting of this musical. The story centers on a frumpy secretary's
crush on her handsome boss, the camp manager. The
manager has been working on a musical. Just as he is about to finish
it, the secretary gives herself a makeover, turns into a drop- dead
knockout, and romantic bliss ensues.
