- "Extravagance" is a 1930 American film directed by Phil Rosen. Alice Kendall is the darling of her social set, the sons and daughters of millionaires, although Alice's mother has impoverished herself to provide Alice with the luxuries she expects as her right. Mom blows what's left of her fortune to provide the best trousseau that money can buy when Alice marries Fred Garlan, and then wishes Fred lots of luck. Now, Alice is trying to coax Fred into buying her a new sable coat---all of her friends are sporting them---while Fred is busily trying to borrow enough money to keep his business afloat. This marriage business certainly isn't working out like living-with-Mom, and Alice just doesn't know how she can be seen if she isn't wearing a new sable coat. But, help is lurking just around the corner in the form of a sleaze-ball named Morrell. He's a stock-broker and he is a bachelor and he enjoys the benefits of married life by making available sable coats to little brides who are in dire need of one and whose husbands can't meet their needs. But the wives can meet Morrell's needs. Soon, Fred is asking lots of snooping questions of his new bride, such as where did you get that new sable coat? Fred has doubts that Alice caught and skinned a sable in their back yard.

This is better than most. These old 1929-1934 films are far better than the special effects crap they show today.
please upload more of old hollywood classics movies every month these are wonderful movies.
A great movie worth watching and warrants a rating of 9.
49:57 "That's none of your damn business." And that's 9 years before the "I don't give a damn" in Gone With The Wind. Interesting pre-Code film.
I was shocked, too. Damn shock. Lol.
YES
Alice: How did you get that sable fur? Ester: The same way the sable does. :-) Loved it! June Collier was sure a real looker! Thanks for posting
A grand production depicting errors in judgement.
Thank you this is one I haven’t seen in a few years great one ! God Bless you and your family in these scary time !
I remember this movie from a late night movie show. :) Thank you for posting! Love seeing it again! :)
If it's a Goldstone Picture, you KNOW it's going to be good !!
I'm already subscribed because of all of the great movies you show!! Thank you!!
It must have been something of a pain moving from the stage, to silent work, and then to a collection of pasted-together clips. Continuity must have truly been a real trial.
Great movie, thanks for sharing.
Pretty racy ending, too bad it was so rushed -- although the move with the overlapping slippers was a change from the customary kiss.
The original length was 71 minutes.
It was a good movie. Thank you for uploading it.
You two should get together.
This is the story of a selfish woman (June Collyer) that promised to love, honor and obey, but instead of helping her husband (Lloyd Hughes) she accepts money from a slimy stock broker to buy a sable coat. Money needed to save her husbands business from bankruptcy. Nice little Pre-Code movie with a good cast. Both June Collyer and Lloyd Hughes were veteran actors who managed the transition from silent to sound films. Collyer, although playing an unsympathetic charter, makes you want her to do the right thing. Lloyd Hughes plays the sap as he try's to give her what she wants, but its not enough. How far will she go to get what she wants? Watch and find out. ★★★
1930-- wow my mum wasn't even born until much later.
And to think in the Victorian era, all a man should have worried about was to not terrify his bride to the core on their wedding bed by being too "manly' and "forcing" himself past her hymen😳😳😢😢
Interesting how nothing much in human nature has changed in 90 years!
umm why would it??? wtf
“Nothing new under the sun… “ Holy Bible
This is why we need Jesus Christ ❤❗️🫶🏽
"Esther's" grinning is creepy!
+Kimberly Hendricks (K Patrice) - dorothy christie, i thought she had the stand out performance as the cheating wife and jilted lover.
Very entertaining. I believe there is a better quality copy of this movie on RUclips I watched last year.
Pretty good movie to stumble upon...
Ya gotta LOVE the clothing, both men and women! What a time to have lived!🌺💕💜🕊🌹🙏🙋♀️
Good movie. Thank you for uploading.
You two should get together.
I'm having my student watch Extravagance. Thanks.
Could have been today's headlines.... The world has gone to hell in a handbag. Today's morals worse than that. Glad for the hAppy ending.

Female posture : hands on hips , elbows and shoulders forward . Aggressive . Confident .

Then Gable wasn't the first to get away with it in '39 🤔🤔
fun oldie
As soon as I saw the name of the producer, I knew it would be a film that encouraged moral debauchery.
45:24 what does the note say?
I'm sorry dear - awfully sorry - and miserable!
So am I
Love is blind
And sometimes dead...

it's obvious that scriptwriters in the 1930s considered women to be idiotic children. Yick.
Jane Doe Couldn’t agree more, but it wasn’t just scriptwriters; it was a fairly prevalent view found in non-fiction literature, as well in professions such as psychiatry & other sciences. It seems to stem from 19th c. western views of women as having smaller weaker brains than men, of being primarily suited only for sexual & reproductive functions, etc. It was only in the ‘20s that women in the US were given the right to vote, & it was well into the 20th c. that women in most US states were legally allowed to inherit property attained during marriage if they were widowed. Although many women had to work at jobs outside the home, it was rare that a woman made enough to support herself without other help. Marriage was generally seen as necessary for survival & in most cases it was, whether or not a woman continued to work outside the home. Many viewers of these films from the 20s-‘30s (often into the mid-20th c.) don’t seem to realize that most women had to depend on marriage (on a man) for financial survival. Except for the independently wealthy, most women who didn’t marry had to depend on their relatives for support & not all women had relatives willing to help take care of them. All this stuff seen in old films about women seeking financial gain from marriage are based on reality, but too, they tend to portray many women who try to take advantage of men (husbands or other suitors) for selfish reasons such as a fur coat. These kinds of films often have a moral & social message aimed at women: that they should be happy simply supporting a husband & serving him in their “proper role” as homemaker & mother & not desiring anything else in life. Never mind that most women still had to hold jobs after marriage, giving married women two full time jobs.
Get a job

The blond woman with very short hair at (18:58) sure looks like a man? Makes me wonder if she is! The person is very tall, bulk, built like a man, no breasts broad shoulders, hips like a man and legs, face like a man and even a slight moustache if you look well!
