Guilty Hands (1931) Review, with Kay Francis and Lionel Barrymore

A delay on the podcast this week, but instead we’ve got a spine tingler and a black comedy rolled into one, with Lionel Barrymore and Kay Francis! Yes, again, I like Kay Francis, shut up. From Danny

Picture Snatcher (1933) Review

Pre-Code Follies: He’s a fast talking newspaper guy. She’s the daughter of the chief of police. Can they get along? From Danny

The Woman Accused (1933)

The Pre-Code Follies: This is like the circus version of a “Law & Order” episode. DOOT DOOT DOODY DOO DOO DOOT DOOT DOOT DOO DOO. Danny.

Whirlpool (1934) Review, with Jack Holt and Jean Arthur

Pre-Code Follies: Well, this is certainly a movie about stuff, and a lot of it seems to involve dad and daughter getting along like gangbusters. From Danny.

Strictly Dynamite (1934) Review

Pre-Code Follies: Jimmy Durante stars in this little seen piece of crap. From Danny.

1932

Trouble in Paradise (1932) Review, with Herbert Marshall, Kay Francis and Miriam Hopkins

A sublime comedy of sex and subtle charms.

By Danny, 14 yearsMay 5, 2011 ago
1930

War Nurse (1930) Review

Pre-Code Follies: A heart wrenching view from the front. Danny.

1931

Girls About Town (1931) Review

Pre-Code Follies: George Cukor brings us a story of escorts and bad marriages with just enough fluff to make things amicable. Para Danny.
