Slow down! If I were going any slower, I'd be going backwards!
Actually, after I finish off 1933, I am going backwards for the rest of the year -- twenty-one posts covering movie history from 1888 to 1933. Then for New Years day, we'll start in on 1934 and The Golden Age ...
I have difficulty understanding all this fuss about whether Harlow, Hopkins or Dumont when Aline MacMahon is in the mix (and in the bathtub if I recall correctly). Best, Gerald,
Yeah, with all due respect to Cukor and Lubitsch and the greatest double-take ever, Duck Soup is better than all the other ones combined.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this is, for me at least, the easiest category of 1932-33 ...
ReplyDeletegoddammit, will you slow down??!?

What! easy? They are all awesome films I wouldn't know what to decide on..
ReplyDeleteI am rethinking my position.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at that Jean Harlow, will you. . . .
hubba hubba
I'll take Miriam Hopkins over Jean Harlow any day.
ReplyDeleteWell, Beck m'boy, we'll never have to fight over our ladies' attentions.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we will: my wandering eye will lead me to Miriam as sure as you're born.
And her dead and all -- shameful!
Harlow, Hopkins -- what about Margaret Dumont?
ReplyDeleteMrs. Teasdale: Oh, your Excellency!
Rufus T. Firefly: You're not so bad yourself.
Was Mrs. Teasdale born in Wisconsin and educated in Minnesota?
ReplyDeletejust asking. . . .

Was Mrs. Teasdale born in Wisconsin and educated in Minnesota?
ReplyDelete"Not that I care, but where is your husband?"
"Why, he's dead."
"I bet he's just using that as an excuse."
"I was with him to the very end."
"No wonder he passed away."
"I held him in my arms and kissed him."
"Oh, I see, then it was murder! Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first."
