Movies from the thirties are unique. I really Love them.
How awesome that people communicated with no foul,disrespective language.
The detective was disrespectful to Ginger, so was the captain, pretty sexist in fact. I did appreciate the lack of foul language though.
LINDA, YOU ARE JUDGING WHAT WAS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE BACK THEN, WITH WHAT IS NOT SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE TODAY.
@@marcelmuloin3576 You are yelling. Why are you yelling? And I am pretty sure women didn’t think it was socially acceptable. Believe it or not, even earlier than the ti e this movie was mad there were women telling men that things like that weren’t socially or otherwise acceptable. See, I wrote that and didn’t need all capital letters. Now let me look into my glass bowl….I foresee you replying something and it will be written in all capital letters. Come on, surprise mea,
Fudge knuckles
They did in the movies, anyway.
At 43:36, when the desk sergeant says "Take a look at the 400 and see if they are all there," this is a reference to a famous list compiled by wealthy New York socialite Caroline Astor in 1892, of the 400 most influential people in New York's high society. "The 400" became a slang expression for wealthy social elites.
And it’s spoofed in ‘Some Like it Hot’ when Marilyn says ‘Always the same 400’ - she’s acting like she’s a socialite to impress Tony Curtis’ character haha I love that line
Thank you so much!!!!! As soon as I heard it I had the feeling I was missing something. I was born in N.Y. but never heard of this story. I stopped the film at 43:36, ready to post the question but luckily took a look first. Thank you again for your post!!!
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing this!
I still use this references with my buddies
P_ NK Good catch!
You’re clever and
You watch good movies !
The oldies are the best, great characters and actors
38:38 For anyone who doesn't get the reference, Number 9 in Yokohama (also known as Jimpuro or the Nectarine) was a world famous Japanese brothel that opened at 9, Takashima-cho in 1872. It moved in 1882 but the name "Number 9" followed it until it was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. It was famous enough that Rudyard Kipling mentions it in passing one of his poems where he lists off a bunch of famous whorehouses. Loads of info about it online, it was one of the best known operations in the city's red light district.
Thank you for the info
Awesome history and to the commenter in reference and Rudyard Kipling. My dad had his complete works. These are the great works wherein factual history lies!
Thank you for your comment 👍🏼
I not ONLY love the old movies, today's movie have not history or purpose but I also appreciate learning new historical information. Thank you so much for your intelligent knowledge. It's nice to know there are still some people around with such intelligence. Our society today can only rely on Google for their information. !!!!
@@scarygary-qq1pj
LMAO not lies as in lying. The facts lie here. Not the facts lay here.
@@kimlewis7363
Google is where they choose to go for convenience. Books and old newspapers and magazines in libraries hold the factual information.
I'm really getting into early 1930's films, both American and British. This one is an entertaining mix of romantic screwball comedy and murder mystery. Ginger Rogers's leading man, Lyle Talbot, turns in a performance embracing both genres.
Notably, after finishing his leading man years he played the first Commissioner Gordon for the 1949 movie serial, Batman and Robin. Then he became first to play master-criminal Lex Luthor in the 1950 movie, Atom Man Vs. Superman. He is perhaps best known for playing next door neighbor Joe Randolph in dozens of TV episodes of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, as well as supporting roles in numerous other classic TV shows!
And throughout this film I thought I was looking at a young Ray Milland!
Me too. This was great 👍
For everyone looking at these movies and leaving negative remarks.....you can’t watch a 1930s movie with 2020 eyes and 2020 story lines.This was when movies were kinda new still.I think the dry humor is great.
I,agree.Thank you,for sharing your invaluable comments.

I,agree.Thank you,for sharing your invaluable comments.
I watched this 6 years ago (I found my old comment haha). The dialogue is so funny and witty, snappy and sharp.
Enjoy these old b/w movies more than the movies of today. Loved this one.
Thanks for the upload & to all who leave comments, even if they are brief. They help the rest of us decide whether or not this is the type of movie they would wish to viiew. Sincerely & with gratitude, Laura-Lee
Many Blessings Laura-Lee 🙏🇺🇸
May have been a tad silly but I'd watch it over anything on tv these days...still a classic, thank you.
Agreed
@@jeremybear573 Even more true today. Quaranteened and binge watching, thanks to Covid 19. Done with Netflix and Prime when I stumbled across this. Love all the movies.
@@mrsj5300 Yup. I've been wa watching a lot of theTCM channel during this quarantine
Cindy D. 2nd time watching and im a 80s baby
Cindy, smart not silly!
I've always wondered what it was like back in those good old days I'm 32 years old and I love these classic movies they remind me of my deceased grandfather who was in the military and who served the Korean war and I miss his assistant day after day so yeah these help me cope with his loss and thank you whoever uploaded these please time CNN lassies God bless you
I found this site by accident and it has been an enjoyable experience. There is no comparison to these gems! Thanks for the uploads!!!
What a wonderful movie. I have to watch it twice...once while I’m checking out the props in the movie furniture,chandeliers, clothes and the house itself. Second time...to actually watch the movie. Thanks for sharing your video.
Louis B. Mayor at MGM insisted on authenticity so armies of set designers and production teams scoured Europe, Asia and America for authentic antiques, millions spent, promptly losing all value. They sawed off table and chair legs so short "stars" looked taller, large armoires fit into small sets, and studio carpenters made thousands of alterations to priceless Louis Quinze et al.
Thanks for this old and rare movie
For a 1932 movie, apart from some humming in some scenes, audio quality is surprisingly good. I guess all of the scenes used direct recording, no dubbing. You can listen to the sounds and noises and the natural reverbaration of the rooms where filming took place. The movie is also very good. I liked the pace, how actors seem relaxed and amusing. My father was one year old when this movie was released.
My parents were 8 years old. Such a different world 90 years ago! My mother talked about what life was like in detail back then and through WWII. If not for that this would seem like life on an alien planet! Lol! 😄
My parents were in their mid-20s, living in New York City having arrived 7 years prior from Ireland. Mother worked in domestic service and father drove a cab in Manhattan for 20 years. Typical of immigrants even today. Father knew many actors and celebrities from working that gig. Besides the art and fun of these films they also bring historical perspective for me.
i can appreciate your comments on the sound.
@@jono4708
My parents weren’t born yet but I bet you have some amazing stories from your parents in this time era❤️ I’ve always been drawn to this old 1930’s and 1940’s movies🤗 I haven’t seen this one yet as I’m just getting ready to. I always like to read the description of an old B/W movie and read some of the comments as majority of the comments are so wonderful 🤗
I saw this in the 50's on our first B/W TV. So good to see it again after all this time. The story was great, and for its day I'm sure it was top of the line. Very suspenseful and the actors did a great job.
My mom's family had one of the very few TVs near her back then, popular with other kids I bet.
Thank you for all your time and work to give these movies their due.
J. Farrell MacDonald 1875-1952), who plays Capt. Ryan, had lots of character roles from 1915 to 1951, mainly for director John Ford. He taught acting at USC in Los Angeles in the 30's. He played Irish cops when not in westerns. He went to Yale where he played football. He graduated with an LL.B. from Yale, and an LL.D in Canada - but didn't practice law to my knowledge. Also educated in mining.
yeah, i remember him from TV in the ‘50’s. same for Lyle. but the heck is Ginger Rogers?! 😋🤣. she really stood out on the screen. i love the first scene. i kept going - who IS that? is that? . . . and, yup, it was :) 🎭🎬🌷🌱
@@feralbluee Wasn't Ginger Rogers a "Gilligan's Island" character played by Tina Louise? (The only one still alive.)
@@scarygary-qq1pj that’s Ginger Grant. Based on Marilyn Monroe. Ginger Rogers was just starting out around this time. She had a contract with RKO
I'm a thousand years old, so I guess I kinda feel fortunate in
a way. As a youth, I would
spend time with great grand
parents. I would hear about
life that youngsters nowadays
might find incredible. For example, talking with people
who fought in the civil war !
And hearing of their stories
of the times of their own grandparents ! It's almost unreal.
All of that 'old stuff' is fondly familiar. I know it all well - and I guess I kinda miss it all too.
I think an especially funny moment was when that bumbling W.C. Fields looking policeman answered the phone, later noticing that rather than the telephone, he was holding a gun to his head.
I know exactly how you feel!! I work with the elderly, 💗 hearing their stories!! So Much history and such fun!!
Frances Rich (cousin Dorothy Thornton) left Hollywood to pursue a career in fine art. She was a successful sculptor. during WWII, she served in the WAVES leaving the Navy with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. For a time she public relations director for Smith Collection , her alma mater. I think she could have been a major star. She was a good actress and certainly attractive.
Smith COLLEGE. Phooey on auto-correct.
Love this early Ginger Rogers movie. Lots of fun. Thanks!! 😃
I LOVE THE CLOTHS IN THESE MOVIES !!
I WANT THAT COAT !
Paul Hurst plays Detective Grump. Seven years later, he would play his most famous role: that of the deserter shot dead on the stairway of Tara by Vivien Leigh in "Gone with the Wind" (1939). Wayne hired him later for a film role knowing Hurst had terminal cancer; and Hurst then committed suicide at age 64.
"I'll Be Seeing You" is one of the best Ginger Rogers movies ever. The older Shirley Temple was something else in that movie; but that was when I knew she could hold her own
I can hear the opening credits now!! LOL I LOVE that movie!! Cheerio =)
Grew up watching these old B&Ws, they were already old then (50/60s). Still enjoy them now. Thx!
An absolute gem of a movie! ❤
I love Ginger Rogers movies. Thank you for uploading.
One of Ginger’s few mysteries. Armitage Trail (pen name for Maurice Coons) also wrote “Scarface”, based on Al Capone, which became a Howard Hawks classic.
I would watch an old movie anytime over the cr-- on tv these days. The 30’s and 40’s are my favorite,and I wasn’t even born yet
I agree:it was the golden age!
I found this by accident. Looking forward to it. Thank you for the upload
Love these old movies. There’s something beautiful and elegant about people from this era.
Thanks! Love the oldies! Ginger Rogers, What a beauty!!
Anyone agrees with me or not but Old Black and White films are the most Best Stories I've ever watched till now, Good Story, Excellent photography, Crystal Clear cinematography and audio sound quality excellent and many more things to appreciate that is missing today's Hollywood movies ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, old fashioned acting, but a good story. Both a thriller & comedy.
Lyle Talbot was a good good guy, but could also play a very nasty bad guy. Very versatile actor! RIP Mr Talbot!
+virginia7191 Trying to remember his name -- thanks.
I love a good mystery classic movie.. They don't make too many good ones these days..
LUV Ginger!!
Great classics!
Thank you you for posting!
Ethel Wales (1878-1952) plays Aunt Jane Thornton. She began in silent films with Cecil B. DeMille. Married a one-time business manager of Mary Pickford.
Thanks for a very good print of an early talkie.
Armitage Trail who wrote the novel this film was based on, was the first un-approved biographer of Al Capone. It was Trail's best known work titled "Scarface" which was made into a film in 1932. Trail died in 1930, somewhat mysteriously and suddenly at the age of 28 while at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles. Capone denied any responsibility....
Armitage Trail weighed well over 300 pounds, was a chain-smoker, ate like a horse and drank like a fish. He had a heart attack leaving a movie theater. So Capone was right to deny responsibility. He also loved the life of a semi-famous young author, wearing capes and large floppy hats and partying at any opportunity. Quite a character.
According to Wikipedia he was 22 when he died, not 28. Incredibly young, in either case, even in those days, to die of a heart attack. It is also rare for a 22-year-old to weigh 315 pounds!
could you imagine being married your whole life to the telephone operator? With that voice!!!
Tony She probably talked differently at home.
thanks so much for the share. Cant get enough of classic cinema. So before my time, but appreciated none the les..
absolutely LOVE the dialogue from J. Farrell MacDonald who plays Police Capt. Ryan.
"Maybe it's something I ate and this is the nightmare..."
That operator is the same as any customer service agent I have ever talked to.
But at least she spoke ENGLISH!! Not the broken stuff that most have!!
@@sarahcousins2903 Yes, it's hard to deal with them when you don't speak Pakistani.
@@sarahcousins2903 wow, that's incredibly racist
@@sarahcousins2903 Big city telephone operators set the mold for current customer service stereotypes. In 80+/- years, no entertainer has broken that mold🎧☎️
OMG...love the telephone operator's voice n attitude...only thing missing was her smacking on a wad of gum!!
very enjoyable mystery film, good humor and excellent cinematography. good sound as well.
LOVE that telephone operator's nasal voice :)
"Number pleeeeizz . . ."
Lily Tomlin: Is this the person to whom I'm speaking...?" She nailed it so hard I thought the headset would crack up!
(I saw her in Eugene, Ore. & remember being amazed.)
Thanks for the uploads! You guys are providing us with lots of entertainment!! Keep it up!!
Wow... This is what ya call a real WHO-DUN-IT movie.. They don't make them like this any more.. Thanks so much for sharing TCM
Bookmarked for later viewing (it's a long day). Haven't seen it, but I'm impressed with your channel.
Thanks! I was on the verge of buying this one (not quite sure why) but I'm glad I checked here first. 😊
A Good Movie& Fun to watch!! All of the stars were good& the actor who was assistant to police captain,reminded me of Lyndon Johnson,to a degree.
quite similar to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Thanks for posting!
Yes!! And the latter's MUCH MUCH better!!
411Nichola yes and clue but this is the best of the “who killed the guests” type
You're highly mistaken sir. It's "The Ninth Guest" is what is similar to "And then there were none". And the Ninth Guest was made 8 years before Agatha's book was published. So she may have scene that movie and may have improvised it into her own version which was more chilling than the Ninth Guest.
Unexpected guest
Spoiler. If the first girl was an imposter, how did she know the names of everyone who was at the dinner years ago and where they sat at the table. She was in the house all alone thinking back to when she was a child. Dad sat there, Harold set there, Etc.
SPOILER ALERT The girl in the beginning isn't an imposter; she's the real Marie, the same person we see throughout most of the movie. The only time we see the imposter is when she's dead and her body has been set up at the table by the murderer. Every other time we see a girl who's supposed to be Marie, it is indeed the real Marie. The off-screen gunshot and scream at the end of that beginning sequence are designed to make us think somebody was killed, most likely the girl we just saw, but later in the story, it becomes clear that this was the sound of an attempted murder, not a successful one. The real Marie was indeed shot at but escaped and hid inside the house, then eventually fled in the policeman's car, crazy with fear after seeing her imposter's dead body at the dining table. The imposter had been electrocuted, not shot, as is determined early on by the police. Details about the real Marie's experience as summarized above are brought out in conversations between Winston and the policeman Ryan at about 48:30 and about 1:01. (It's also established at 13:37 that the imposter, who at that point in the movie had been identified as Marie, had Marie's "whole life story" in her handbag. It makes sense that someone who was ready to impersonate someone else would have a lot of information about that person at hand.) Anyway, it's supposed to be the same woman (the real Marie) in every scene except the one where she's a body set up at the table.
Great dialogue. "I know, but this is a GOOD murder!"
Thank you for obtaining and posting this mystery. I enjoyed it very much.
Adverts are a nightmare! Have weak wifi and everytime an advert plays i lose connection and am thrown back to the start.
Very entertaining film. Keeps you guessing right to the end.Thanks for uploading.

I like the line; "well you told me to tail her". When the bumbling cop comes in near the end with his shoes on the wrong feet.
These movies are such treasures🥰👏🏻, thank you so much for uploading them! Signed, a very satisfied subscriber!🥰👏🏻👍
Great character acting. Enjoyed :)
its so nice to watch a movie and not get sworn at over and over .

What a great movie..thank you for sharing..❤❤
Love this movie a mystery and a comedy, well done.
Thank You!
Ginger Rogers is one of my most favorite people. I see no doubt that she and I would have had loads of fun - IF I had the money to back it up. But even if I didn't - I think she would have been one of those wonderful women that didn't need Money to make her smile. She's a natural.
She was making like over 200 k in 1939.
Plus she was engaged to Howard Hughes. Makes me miffed they never mentioned her in aviator.
He cheated on her with a 16 year old. Creepy. She threw his ring at him and left the hospital. He had a head on collision when she told him she never wanted to see him again.
Ginger Rogers before she started dancing with Fred Astaire
Interesting to see Ginger Rogers in a starring dramatic role, before she did any singing and dancing!
Bob Holtzmann She had eyes line a cat
On Broadway, she had been in Girl Crazy (I believe that was the name of the play) around 1930. Interestingly, she and Fred Astaire knew each other since they both performed on the stage, they used to go dancing socially together around this time. They weren't a romantic couple, they just enjoyed dancing together. In this play, she sang and danced. Their first film together was in Flying Down to Rio in 1933.
@@mtngrl5859Interesting to know,thank you,for sharing this information.
Why would the villain first try to electrocute Ginger twice, and then the third time he gets a chance to kill her, he just manhandles her, while begging for the combination? 😏
One of the earliest films for Ginger Rogers. Interesting how similar this is to Agatha Christie's novel And Then Were None.
Thank you 🤩🤩💖
Very enjoyable.
Wonderful film!
great movie TFS
Excellent movie 😊
Love your uploads
Great movie!!!
I enjoyed watching it. It keep me interested to the end.
I love the men's hats. They make them look cute.
Thanks!
When did movies begin to introduce music? It's interesting how there's complete silence until the actors begin their next lines.
These cops are sassy to their boss. Nowadays it's harder to get and keep a job. BTW, thanks for posting this. Your channel is great.
Phenomenal thank you
Still great acting & direction...
The sheets covering the furniture for 13 yrs. Were so clean! 😉
That had to be hard, with all those spiderwebs! 🕸🕷
Pretty entertaining old movie.
Love the hats.
just love this mysteries with the added humor.. need more..lol
Love a good mystery, Great Movie.
Great film! : )
