    Sylvia Sidney stars in this vintage early talkie along with Gene Raymond. Her final role was in "Mars Attacks" playing grandma, who's love of the recording of "Indian Love Call", which she plays over and over again, causes the Martian's brains to explode.

    not only she's so pretty, she also had talent, she was really really great actress. sometimes people forget that fact and it's worth reminding, worth repeating, that behind this beautiful face was a legendary actress. she had a lot of presence on screen. you simply can't take your eyes off her, she was like a magnet...and those cute pigtails, gee, what a babe!

      Notable to me for the presence of Monroe Owsley and a very young Ann Sheridan.
      Owsley was truly original. Almost always cast as a heel, but a smooth charming one. Died way too young. And was there anyone prettier than the early 20s Ann Sheridan ? So vigorous and healthy-looking and that beautiful smile.
      An oft-forgotten fact about Sylvia Sidney, definitely one of Hollywood's most intellectual , was that she made a lot of public appeals for the plight of European Jews in the 30s, way before most people sensed that things were about to get very very bad for them. Sidney was not afraid to speak up. Fine actor and even finer humanitarian.

    What a wild plot!!!! Gene Raymond was always a favorite, I met him a few times at golf tournaments in his later years. One of the few blond men of the old days. Sylvia was so Myrna Loy-esq.

      Her acting ability as an Indian during this time period was actually decent, but you would rarely see a native Indian woman this beautiful (due to the ridiculous application from gobs of make-up!) Hollywood was notorious for their constant application of makeup which I find ridiculous & unreal. Just look at the lipstick she wore constantly & consistently! I suppose it was necessary during this era, but eventually film makers finally got it in their heads that overly made up women in every film presentation did not give the audience the true prediction of reality during rugged circumstances!

    • @scottleft3672
      @scottleft3672 7 лет назад +2

      you clearly have no concept of the idea that anyone but yourself could know what they are doing.....early film would leave you looking featureless....hence the makeup.....see keaton and chaplain films.

    • @Arthur_McGowan
      @Arthur_McGowan 3 года назад +2

      @@scottleft3672 Film was panchromatic by the late twenties. The makeup needed in the 'teens was no longer necessary. BTW: Screens were still 12' or at most 16' in the thirties, even in huge theaters like Radio City Music Hall. Projection lamps were not bright enough to project larger. So makeup still had to be a bit more dramatic than we are used to.

    'So like her kind!' Oh, those Park Avenue iron maidens...
    Gene Raymond was such a cutie when he was this young. And Ann Sheridan was just a baby. I'd never seen her with such dark hair. Looking at google images, some of her earliest publicity shots picture a dark, blown-out bob (a la Norma Shearer) while in another, it's ash blonde and brushed back smooth. With that facial structure, any style looks striking. Lovely!
    As for the rest... I'm glad I didn't read the synopsis first; I'd have never gone for it. That was... er... something else.

    Only praise will do. This film is decades ahead of itself, twisted and jaded and frightening. Sydney gave the best performance of her career. The narrative and plot will leave you breathless, once you see no Hollywood film had been as ruthlessly, brutally, been so honest, destroying the pretenses of Critical Race Theory along the way. Here is a triumph and a small masterpiece along your way.

And like that bartender who was not, no way going to serve going to the Indian.
