We Americans should band and work together like it use to be. When I was growing up, neighbors helped each other. If my Dad was still living he he would be pissed off from the political parties, burning down small businesses and all the lies being told. Thank you very much for the movie, love it and I'll watch it again.
@@petebondurant58 why? When? Someone should have brought buns, another charcoal, another beans, cole slaw, etc...etc... and mustard? Can't forget the mustard! Everytime I had not so nice neighbors, a bar-b- que broke the tension. Even a day at the lake offering to share with the family next to you then they offer to share with the next family would cause a big group effort joining forces and sharing. Pretty soon someone would either bring out a guitar, or CD player, another a Frisby or ball and a party started? I guess I was fortunate. I believe most people are good natured, or want to be? If you have that attitude others fall into the same mindset. Sorry this befell you?
Yeah! Those were the good old days,.... Except f/ those Black People who formed communities and did the same thing for their Own. Tulsa, Greenwood, Oscarville, etc. were ALL BURNED (some Flooded) to the Ground by Jealous folks who came from your kind of community and was ANGRY that the Blacks had their OWN & didn't need to BUY from Outside their community; especially from those who were Racist, Discriminating and Murderous.
Henry Wilcoxon like I've never seen him; and Betty Furnness-the Westinghouse lady from my 1950's. What a delightful film! PizzaFlix, you've outdone yourself!
The Forward at the beginning of the film explains that FDR conceived the idea of the story. He shared it with a magazine editor, and a screenwriter wrote it. Thank you for sharing this. I'm 72 and never knew of this. I liked that the profits went to the Georgia Hot Springs Foundation where FDR received therapy & relief from the crippling effects of polio. I wonder why TCM never showed this?
Amazing, mystery story written by out President FDR, a fact that should be in his history. My Father would have found this fact very interesting . Wonderful story..., wonderful film. I hope you keep finding these absolute GEMS. When Hollywood was about the story and the acting. Best movies ever made are these old films! ❤
A good Depression era film. The workers against the underhanded capitalists. I can see the influence of Franklin Roosevelt. Henry Wilcoxon was a fine actor. Born in the Caribbean on the island of Domenica.
Nice Auburn coupe at 02:35 , Pierce Arrow at 07:31 (headlamps on fenders), 1931 Cadillac dual cowl at 11:20 . Miss Brown drives a 1930 Ford, at 31:03 a 1929 or 30 Packard sedan is followed by 1936 Ford coupe and a 1920s Pierce Arrow bus. At 50:28 Roger arrives in a late T model Ford.
Yeah, they kind of glossed over the fact that he committed a crime by bribing a morgue attendant to supply him with a body and then burning it up in his car.
This reminded of a movie I saw where the truckers were trying to destroy the railroad, so all freight would be delivered by the trucks and not the railroad.
The butler did it! And did it right! This is the stuff big business said was "commie" in the 60s and 70s. Cooperatives were a good alternative then- and now!
Cry about what? FDR was another Democrat who was racist. Just ask Jesse Owens and the other black members of the 1936 Olympic Team. You people are so hypocritical.
Ok. I agree with you. I still need subtitules because I am brazilian...and I can read in english but I still can not undertand ...I am learning ..muito grata
Good movie and a good piece of propaganda. Hollywood hasn't changed a bit. They just use different causes today. I noticed Henry Wilcoxon with his moustache looks like a B&W picture I found of Kevin Klein with one.
I see that Nathanael West, author of The Day of the Locust and Miss Lonelyhearts, has a screenplay credit on this movie. Wikipedia describes him as sporadically writing B pictures in this period. This one wasn't bad, given the odd circumstances of its inception.
Yes, in a fatal car crash during this period. The story writers were top notch and there are some fine troupers in the cast - Sidney Blackmer, Evelyn Brent, and others. How did Nar Levine and those guys get all this talent ?! 🤣
BLAKE WHEN HE WAS WALKING TO THE YOUNG LADY AT THE CO-OP WHERE THEY WERE LOOTING THE FOOD, HIS PROFILE LOOK JUST LIKE PATRICK SWAZEY. OOPS! NAME SPELLED WRONG.
This is about cooperatives that are totally consistent with capitalist enterprise.....it is a pity ideologues turn it into socialism and even Trotskyism....
Yep, good ole' 1930's leftist propaganda to sell ideas that caused the depression to become the most severe, and longest lasting depression of any the United States had ever experienced before that.
@@amandawilcox9638 Thanks for mentioning that it impacted the whole world. Countries that did the least about it recovered the fastest. The U.S. was the slowest country to recover of those that were capitalist at the time. If you think this is a Democrat vs. Republican issue, you are mistaken. Hoover did all sorts of things in a vain attempt to mitigate the problems. Hoover initiated the policies that FDR expanded on. In other words, Hoover started the New Deal. Unfortunately, Hoover should not have gotten involved. He was lambasted by the Democrats for "doing nothing," but he was actually doing too much. If FDR had been even half as smart as he claimed to be, he would have done the opposite of what Hoover did because it was clear that it was not helping.
@@deezynar Funny how we haven't had a depression since then. In fact, after the Great Depression and the subsequent creations of a welfare state, America became the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world. But go on, keep living in your conservative dream world.
The best part was the main guy doffed his coat and tie at the end. Should have lost the Erol Flynn affectation too! Also where did the body in the burning car come from???
I know I did not pay 100% attention to this movie which I had seen before. I paused and returned whilst handling a chore but I'm sure this movie was edited to this shorter version of 52 minutes from ninety or so minutes. Anyone else concur? FDR, wow-wee! What a Progressive thinker. He saved the country in many ways only for "Our Government" to screw it up by taking the towns, cities and states power's away and delegating the power to the Feds.
Please don't post sub titles unless there is a way to have the option of not having to see them. They are a distraction and detract from the film experience. Thank you.
🤣🤣🤣You are so right. Kevin Kline looks better! I looked this actor’s age up because I had a hunch he has on makeup to make him appear older. He’s 31at the time this movie was made😉

My neighbors pelted me with rocks and garbage, and then stole my hot dogs.
You should watch " Waking Ned Devine" hilarious 90's flick about a small village that pulls together over a lottery ticket.

@@Prof.Tarfeatherfabulous movie, I love the whole village getting in on the cover-up. You hit the nail on the head !

Politics is why tcm never showed the movie-i bet.
@@omi_god your choice
FDR helped pull us out of the great depression and led us during most of WW2. He was a democrat even though his Relative Teddy was a republican.
Good for Teddy, definitely the better man!!!!!??
What a great story. Thanks for putting this one up!

An excellent movie, thank you. So sorry the middle portion was missing. Ron PTL USA
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Beautiful story....thanks President FDR, !!!
Great Old Movie 🎬 😊
The original movie was 80 minutes we need that version
Very good movie! Loved the ending, with the faithful butler!
Who was the body in the car?
@@keithharvey7230 Stop asking sensible questions! 😎🙋♀️
Same dramas as today, different props and characters.
So heartwarming ending!

I love this film,so I'm watching it again,so thanks again for sharing lol.
And thanks for letting us know, Karen
Seen this movie and now I don’t remember any of it!(78y/o)!
I knew I saw it before. Great movie.
According to IMDB, 30 minutes of the movie was cut out. The original movie was 1:20. This one is only 57:00.
A lovely movie, Thanks much, from Virginia
Great film and storyline ... and the print is top notch.
Where is Hollywood now?
This movie is substantial.
4 stars
This movie had a neat plot!
Nice Auburn coupe at 02:35 , Pierce Arrow at 07:31 (headlamps on fenders), 1931 Cadillac dual cowl at 11:20 . Miss Brown drives a 1930 Ford, at 31:03 a 1929 or 30 Packard sedan is followed by 1936 Ford coupe and a 1920s Pierce Arrow bus. At 50:28 Roger arrives in a late T model Ford.
i realize I am quite off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Juelz Van Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it!!
@Jordan Andre you are welcome :D
One of my favorite things about the old movies is the cars🎉
HA! This is like a 2020 election preview!! Same problems. Historu does indeed repeat itself
I love the background sound here,it does sound like an old cylinder recording,authentic☺
Great plot etc....but where oh where has the gorgeous little scuff doggy so adorable disappear...big error.. wooof
Thank you
Excellent!❤️❣️
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
Absolute great movie
like this flick. good day to stay in because of the summer heat. thanks.
Actor Sidney Blackmer lived at 100 Central Park South Apartment.NYC..Building is still there..
All well & good, but what about our hero's theft & abuse of a corpse? That was a serious felony back then.
Yeah, they kind of glossed over the fact that he committed a crime by bribing a morgue attendant to supply him with a body and then burning it up in his car.
Wow Betty Furness in a movie. I thought all she did was be a member of the panel of "I've got a secret".
looks like this is the version with 30mins worth of film MISSING, sorry pizza, but think I will try to find the whole movie elsewhere.
I think Henry Wilcoxon looks just like Kevin Kline (at least, in this movie, and with that mustache).
He also looks like Fredric March.
THANKS PIZZA FLIX...MARAVILHOSO..I LOVE YOU
Very good!
A good featurette!
This reminded of a movie I saw where the truckers were trying to destroy the railroad, so all freight would be delivered by the trucks and not the railroad.
When the shippers first started using 'piggybacks', putting trailers on flatcars. I remember that one, too.
Another great picture show!!!
Excellent
The butler did it! And did it right! This is the stuff big business said was "commie" in the 60s and 70s. Cooperatives were a good alternative then- and now!
Wonderful.....Thanks, PizzaFlix....
fantastic
A fun movie. Now cue the Trumpettes to start crying.

You have to watch movies over and over again, then you'll begin to be used to them, so that you get what they are saying.
o mesmo aqui, mas o portuguese / ingles
muito grata - Thank you; I just learned how to say thanks much in Portuguese. 😏👍

Oh my! Does this film suggest people with money, and therefore power, have influence over legislation? Who knew?
Can you get the original 80-minute version? This has been heavily edited.
What happened to the cute little dog.?
He's in the Museum of Natural History.
Best man?
That's exactly what I kept saying thoughtout the movie "What happened to the dog!!!"
BLAKE WHEN HE WAS WALKING TO THE YOUNG LADY AT THE CO-OP WHERE THEY WERE LOOTING THE FOOD,
HIS PROFILE LOOK JUST LIKE PATRICK SWAZEY.
OOPS! NAME SPELLED WRONG.
GO TO POINT 50:12.
YOU SEE WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT.
DIRTY DANCING LOOK ALIKE.
Very good!!!
I'd never seen B. Furness before. She was O.K.
This is not a FrankCapra film.
Cool.
Rich people hide their wealth. It's called Pty Ltd.
This is about cooperatives that are totally consistent with capitalist enterprise.....it is a pity ideologues turn it into socialism and even Trotskyism....
Gotta tell ya kinda sounds like NOW!!!!!
The evil capitalist turns good socialist and saves the town. Just great. Thanks F.D.R.
Yep, good ole' 1930's leftist propaganda to sell ideas that caused the depression to become the most severe, and longest lasting depression of any the United States had ever experienced before that.
It was the 1930s the capitalist had totally screwed up They were lucky FDR saved them from a potential socialist Revolution
@@deezynar It was a worldwide depression, worsened in the USA by speculators & our dust bowl years. Don't be simplistic.

That has to be Kevin Kline's first major part!
It's downright uncanny!
1%-ers in 1930's!
That was my thought to , I was hoping he wouldn't disappear, but maybe back then they did cause he never came back back to house ith him. 👍👍👍🤗
Who was the body in the car?
The best part was the main guy doffed his coat and tie at the end. Should have lost the Erol Flynn affectation too! Also where did the body in the burning car come from???
He got it from a guy at the morgue. Presumably, he was an unclaimed John Doe.
Maybe the title should be For the Love of Money ?
I know I did not pay 100% attention to this movie which I had seen before. I paused and returned whilst handling a chore but I'm sure this movie was edited to this shorter version of 52 minutes from ninety or so minutes.

Nice piece of new deal propaganda
henry reminds me a little of loam neeson
Yeah, he's an earthy actor, alright.
28:24.. who is the stiff? did i miss something?
A little glitch there...
Plane out of Newark in an hour.
please post movies with subtitules...thanks
Please don't post sub titles unless there is a way to have the option of not having to see them. They are a distraction and detract from the film experience. Thank you.
@@beentheredoneization agreed
Why is this considered a Mystery movie?...
Because of the wife being found dead.
Good question, Richard!
What a boring movie!!!! Disappointing.
Did I miss something? Why is this called the President's Mystery?
There is a text intro/explanation immediately following the opening movie credits at the beginning.
Not haing you to ask they decided to go with what the wanted. BTW, yes you did miss something.
lol I meant liam neeson
Liam depressive Neeson.
IS the man withe glasses Kevin kline,s father ?? E has strong resemblance !!!
Flick worthy of Frank Capra.
Show was going great til killing
That slushing background noise sounds like soldiers marching in the rain
Oh no! Don’t compare Kevin Klein is better looking , younger, chiseled face. Pretty eyes- this actor is old here at least 60 if he’s a day!
🤣🤣🤣You are so right. Kevin Kline looks better! I looked this actor’s age up because I had a hunch he has on makeup to make him appear older. He’s 31at the time this movie was made😉
I don’t like this movie, what happened to his little companion dog?
Ah the rich & useless. Great depression era movie.
The acceptable face of Socialism...
Cooperatives are also active here in America, mostly Agricultural and farming, for instance in the State of Minnesota.
@@Prof.Tarfeather, Grocery, farmer, electric, housing and dairy coops in western Oregon. If 'ol Winston here called owners/workers Socialists they'd laugh! Maybe.
Franklin Roosevelt wanted to sell Big Government so he put Home Ownership on the FRONT COVER!
And after the New Deal America became the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world. Clearly, the New Deal was a bad idea.
please legend
What about the dead guy he used for his foil???
He survived and is now President of America

But fantasy.
Commie propaganda, so poorly done it was funny...
Sloppy use of the word "commie" minimizes real problems back then, and now. A poorly done comment.
Very good!!!
