Mandalay (1934) Review, with Kay Francis

Kay Francis stars in this lurid piece of titillating melodrama.

Kay Francis is up to her old tricks, and by ‘old tricks’ I mean being a doctor and getting knocked up out of wedlock!

A bit of first World War tomfoolery from the guys who brought us Diplomaniacs and Peach-o-Reno.

The precursor to a boatload of gangster films, The Doorway to Hell isn’t quite up to snuff but it’s an interesting diversion.

Another Wheeler and Woolsey (you sick of those yet?). This one comes from the oooooold west.

Divorce, American Style, 1931.

It’s like Duck Soup, and maybe just as good?

Don’t bother.

Innocence robbed and the twin beauty of Rouben Mamoulian and Marlene Dietrich.

The Frankenstein monster is the female beauty ideal in this lame Cary Grant outing.
