This is a great movie from 1929. One of Carole Lombard's first talkies. In just 12 years she would be making "To Have and Have Not" her last movie before she was killed in a plane crash outside of Las Vegas.
She and Gable honeymooned at Oatman, Arizona.
Carole Lombard wasn’t in the movie “ to have and have not”
to be or not to be with jack benny
That was Lauren Bacall with Humphrey Bogart. You weren't' watchin very carefully! 😉
"My goodness - he was on the way to Sunday School!" Some really.great.dialogue in this fine film and well-delivered too, thanks PizzaFlix 💖 🇨🇦
I loved this movie! I cracked up over the comments and the wise cracks. What fun!
Worth it to see clean shaven Gabby Hayes with his teeth in & dressed in a suit. Lombard one of the most beautiful women ever. LaCava would direct her in My Man Godfrey.
The actor who plays CAROLE LOMBARDS' husband in this movie is the player in the original KING KONG. He plays the role of the producer, director and discoverer of the starving young woman, FAYE WRAY and KING KONG, the beast from Skull Island.
I think he was called Karl Denham.

3rd one of Carol's I have found from 29. Just watched in High Voltage and the Racketeer. Did not know she was even more beautiful in her earlier years. She was really crankin them out
If I had a dollar for every 30s movie that featured a wisecracking, irreverent reporter who gets fired in the opening sequence~ I could afford Netflix!
I love this I don’t know why but it’s it’s a classic definitely before my time
Carol bellissima e bravissima. Meravigliosa creatura. Una grande artista e una eroina per il suo paese.
Una Bella figa
Si molta bella e molto bene!
The very beautiful Carole she was so talented. Could do any type of genre. Cute movie
I am a big Robert Armstrong fan. :)
Same, loved King Kong
" Imagine seeing you first thing in the morning! You're not as bad as you seem! Nobody could be that bad! "
All In first few minutes ... did he ad-lib most of it?
Every early movie about reporters seemed to feature one with a serious alcohol problem.
It's the long hours in between the big scoop and daily fight for the top notch headlines that gets to them.
Its a rare glimpse of realism in Hollywood fantasy.
Only one?
This one looks very nice and it reminds me of the other classic movie that Carole Lombard and Robert Armstrong made in 1929,called The Racketeer-Anyone here ever see The Racketeer with Carole Lombard and Robert Armstrong?
I watched it 2 days ago
I saw it a few years ago.
I saw it about a month ago. I thought it was interesting. It got a lot of negative criticism here but I thought it was, for it's time, pretty good for an exploration of a complex relationship for that time.
Something about the level of maturity in the characters in the movies years ago.
Seems there aren't any actors or actresses that can portray that type of trait anymore.
The audio is especially bad because sound was new.
They had to come up with clever ways to hide and conceal microphones back then. They would hide them in like floral arrangements for example.
Really liked this one! Thanks PF.
This movie is really funny. The acting is great. They don't make 'me this way anymore!
A great movie!
Wow. Carole Lombard wasn't even 21 when this was released!
mackb909, she was 21 in 1929
Film released in Sept.; her birthday was in Oct., about a month later.
Try to find a 20 year old today that can match her.
Carol Lombard as fine an actress as can be. And no better wisecracking reporter that Robert Armstrong. Great movie.
The pre-code movies were a lot more interesting than the Pablum the Catholic Church pressured the movie industry to put out with their "morality" edict, the Hays Code, but hatred of women and gay people was pretty much extant. After the code it was vilification of women characters of any intelligence or independence. Gays were all disappeared, except for suggestions of homosexuality in film noir villains. The movies had a huge effect on the public at large, much like television does today, in establishing a culture of ill regard for anyone not following the male/female dominant/submissive breeder template. This movie was made while all of the artists and writers of note that were not heterosexual, or at least publicly so, were in Paris avoiding the violent persecution the United States had to offer. Now we find the Catholic Church was practicing, and still is, a policy of sexual abuse of children and mass murder of native American children. Back then it was in collusion with the NAZIs in Europe. What a vile criminal mindset that which is declared as "Upright and Morally Correct" turns out to be. Not to mention the takedown of the stock market that took place in 1929 as well. Dark times indeed. Wisecracking humor held together the veneer of normalcy. Still does, actually.
Well said.
Love the opening rooster~ nice change from that lion!
Rooster = Pathe'
Lion = Metro Goldwyn Mayer.
this must of been before HD :)
I bet the big Irish policeman has been in Laurel and Hardy movies.
Great Film! I would've loved to have been around during this time! :D
When Carole was still "Carol."
Who was Carol before and who was she after being Carol?
@@everettwhite9874 Carole baskins. Its spelled wrong nowadays.
@@everettwhite9874 Born Jane Alice Peters. Later she married, e.g., William Powell and then Clark Gable.
Thanks pizzaflix!
I would give up tea for Carole Lombard!
I gotcha beat Limey~ I'd consider giving up cigars!
Very entertaining.
1929 must be one of the first sound movies ?
The Jazz Singer (1927), with Al Jolson was the first movie with sound in cetain segments.
During 1929, some films becoming the Vitaphone (phonograph record) for Optic sound system (first the short films ,after the full lenght films)
Sound had been in films for only 2 years when this was made, so it's not too good, though several voices come through very well. Robert Armstrong voice does and. at times so does Lombards.This early newspaper drama, feels like the forerunner to newspaper films that came after it. As an example 'His Girl Friday' 1940, with Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant. They both read as stage productions, this is O.K. It's interesting to see the police, the newspaper persons (to be politically correct}, and, the D.A. the Speak Easy crook all in the same room at the same time accusing, denying, resolving, and absolving, everything interwoven. It's all bare right there in front of us. The cloche hat Carol wears, highly fashionable at the time does little to reveal her beauty and she hasn't yet learned how to use the camera. But when she does in future films.....look out. When she turns in to a glamour girl......double look out. To use and outdated term popular in that era, and one I like.....Zowie! and double Zowie!! I struggled to finish this film but in the end was glad I did. I like to think you will too, struggle and be glad that is.
19:15 - "Well, if you can do it this time you'll win the first prize in Password."
Originally released in September 1929.
Isn't that basically when the stock market crashed??
It happened a month later.
Robert Armstrong,King Kong.
Loved the original Kong
9:00 “If I know my women, ha ha ho ho hee hee...” See that? Pre code!
Yep. Also, I didn't know that they called narcotics dope way back then, I thought that dope was a more modern term. They mentioned the word dope about 4 different times just in the first 12 minutes of this film when talking about their narcotics arrests. And the "ha ha ho ho ho hee". I guess that people haven't changed as much as it seems in the past 90-100 years.
@@alvexok5523 Don't kid yourself- all you have to do to see how much "people" (I use that word LOOSELY!) have changed since then is look at Seattle & Portland, Chicago, etc...
@@DavidRice111 , oh I was kind of joking. I know that people have changed alot
33:29 - "You're not going to be gay on my time."
Another word where’d you get the scoop
The studio sure scrimped on this one. The entire movie was shot on one stage with two rooms.
It's better. NO car chases, street scenery, tricks...ONLY PLOT AND DIALOGUES.
Early synchronized sound recording.
Actors had to be close to large, heavy recording equipment. Cameras were often isolated in booths to contain noise.
Make that three rooms and a hallway. But sometimes less is more.
Take that one for everybody out there take your thoughts pure
Newspaper reporters remember this where she get the dope means where she get her information from if you say that one to someone today in 2022 they go who what what dope lol
Too bad the quality is so bad.
I can't remember seeing a film about the news business from this period where the reporter lead guy was not an insufferable jerk. This role must have served as some sociological purpose for movie-goers at the time. Today, it looks so outdated. Here a dipsomaniac is going to expose drug dealers.
20:15 reporter pulls out booze in front of cop during prohibition. Most beat cops didn’t enforce the Volstead act unless ordered to.
The pre code movies were very opened. They had hookers, lesbians, very effeminate men, drugs, etc.
eveyholmes And what did it get them? Shut down by censors. So today people watch youtube believing the past was a gentler, simpler, more moral age. In the words of the poet, "Phooey, they're just daffy." :)
They were realistic!
Tickles YOU pink, eh 'everyholmes'?
ANOTHER MOVIE ON HERE ALOT LIKE THIS IN SAME TIMME PERIOD IS I THINK: RING AROUND THE MOON, WOW WHAT A MOVIE THAT IS TOO !!! ALL KINDS OF FOLKS IN IT GO THROUGH SAD OF THE TIMES AND IT WORKS OUT AMAZINGLY AND NOT CORNY EITHER // PLOT RESOLVE AND FINALE ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BULK OF HOLLYWONT .. I JUST DO NOT WATCH AFTER 1950S STUFF ITS TOO DEPRESSING IS WHY AND WAAAAY TOO BORING PREDICTABLE !!! YOU KNOW LIFE HAS BEEN DOING A SKAD OF THINGS / HOW COME NO NEW MUSIC EITHER ??? WHEN HOLLYDONT MAKES THESE RELATIVELY NEWBIE INDUSTRY PROJECTS MORE QUALITY THAN MOST TO ALL OF SOME DECADES OF THE SAME INDUSTRY : THIS FIRST LEARNING STARTUP 15YEARS VS 70+YRS OF PREDICTABLE UNABSORBABLE MODERN FILM INDUSTRY.. OLDIES ARE GOODIES ! GOOD BLESS
Survived the myriad tedium Robert Armstrong brings to every film to find joy in many of the quips, a gem in Helen "Cupid" Ainsworth who was a minor talent scout/writer/producer and actress, and Lew Ayres as the uncredited whistling copy boy. Although no close-ups, Carol Lombard insured the 1926 car accident scar to her left cheek was buried under curls secured by hats. Later films and publicity photos seemed to dare viewers to find a trace as left seemed to be her best side. Released 9-7-29, the Great Depression began its 10-yr run 10-29-29.
I've never been a Carole Lombard fan, and even Robert Armstrong isn't enough to save this film. Boring.
41:00 “ ....to prove that they’re not effeminate. “ See that? Pre code!
Wow, a history of the evolution of cliche that codifies subtext even today! This is the real value of modernity, a detailed source for recent historical archaeology that applies nuance to everything we say and do. We can look into this one story and imagine it's implicit divisiveness metamorphosing through modern culture more and more subtly as time passes.
This is the death of culture! From Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe to Richard Feynman's Chaos Theory the subtlety of essential truth can now be momentarily synthesized to redefine any moment seamlessly. Lines of reason, trust and perception can be stressed individually or en masse from almost any angle to represent the relevant circumstances in whatever light one chooses. Arts and sciences conspiring to irreparably deconstruct the perceptibility of reality and leave it's shards in the sure hands of entropy.
@Mary kai I declare a tie ... you & WRQ co-win the doublethink doubletalk of the day ... without collusion, yet conflusionary in all its uber imperspicuous, irrefrangibly imperceptible aspects. Singly & severally u2 have clobbered the galumph-ollop of cliche. Co figure!
Confusionism is an ancient tradition.
It's "its" shards, not "it's" shards. Though you'd want to know for the next time you spiral out of control. (No need to thank me.)
Wow, you sound smart
Get a lectern and give youtube a break...
Directed by Ralph Block... for blockheads.
📦 I resent that↔↗➡
@@petermaxwell2965
The reason you resent it
is because it is rue.
