Elegant, sophisticated, handsome, funny, smart & a great, confident actor. But beyond that, capable of entrancing an audience long after he died. Incomparable.
Well said! I approve
William Powell was one of the best actors ever.
🥰Thank you 👍Good movie 👍Always nice to see the great , talented William Powell ❤Also nice to see Kay Francis . April 4 , 2024
That was a sad ending,for both people.A perspective of two people,who could not seem to meet" each other,half way." I have not heard of this film before seeing you posted it,Mr..Shomph.Thank you,for sharing it with the public.Nancy,MO.
Thanks I needn't watch it now
The girl had a beautiful short haircut 90 years ago. I love it.
♥️
💚🙏😇🙏💚
William Powell had “It” - so difficult to describe yet I can’t help but try: so charming, sexy, engaging, intelligent, talented, empathetic, and simply wonderful. But all that is still so woefully inadequate. I actually just discovered this about two months ago surfing through old movies and absolutely wish there was a clone of him in Hollywood today; there’s no one like him. I hope his movies are preserved forever so others can discover him and fall in love as I have.❤
his smoking did him in though. Or I guess it was the booze. rectum cancer. "In 1938 he was diagnosed with cancer of the rectum. Rather than undergo a colostomy, he agreed to an experimental treatment where platinum needles ....." ok he survived the treatment!
Hard to believe that, in 7 years, this movie will be 100 years old!!😮🎉😊
Not only do i love William Powell movies 💜 but was pleased Kay Francis was in it too. I really like her voice calmness, and empathy in movies that come from her heart. Pretty lady too. TY for the movie. 💜
what a story i loved this
William Powell was a real gentlemen, as it's so hard to have and find now.
Plus such an actor
The same are still among us. But others are loudest and afforded public attention by who runs news with excessive response. The fix is in.
@@doreekaplan2589,
Possibly, but they don’t dress as well.
Great Movie! Just Love♥️William Powell! Any movie with him in it, you will not be disappointed! First Class all the way!!🤗👍
Just what DO ya say about W. Powell?? He gets all the bases covered. My favorite flick??? MURDER MY SWEET. Now THAT 🎥 is a REAL Film Noir by Every. Possible. Standard.
That had Dick Powell in it, not William Powell.
William Powel, what describes him best Savoir Faire!
Not only an amazing Actor but so darned handsome and charming!
Of course the roles he was cast in also helped to personify a Man of all Seasons and capable in any situation.
The Manliest of Men. Yes, they called it Savoir Faire!
anything with William Powell is worth watching g. thanks for upload
ditto🙂🗽
My man Godfrey was a great film.
I have a real crush on this man he's so fone!!!!!! I know he is no longer with us I know he's about 100 yrs older than me but it's a man like Powell that makes me wish I was born in the 20ies!!😇😊😉💗😘💋✋
Me too! I have quite a few "men" on my too late for me wish list...or did I. Mean lust wish
Yes I’m happy too and yes William Powell is a magnet. (Smart, funny, confident and casually elegant.) I’m blessed to know someone like that. Perfection.
Powell and Kay Francis, a formidable team, " you'll be smoking and swearing soon", lol.
Always click for Powell!
William Powell is always great.
Sounds like today. Nothing ever changes. Bribery, crookedness, lawyers. Good movie. Watched seeing Powell in it.
A middle of the week tear-jerker. As usual, with 1930s movies with starts, well done, good script, blase acting of their personas and worth every five cent admission sold in the 1930s!
William Powell & Kay Francis made a number of films together before he & Myrna Loy became a team. Kay was a top film star in the 1930's.
William Powell & Kay Francis was the "HOT" couple in movies made together in the 30's (try "Jewel Robbery") before the Thin Man series with Myrna Loy came out. Bill was every woman's Dream Man....sigh
Wow this was so good. Love me some William Powell. That woman was so trifling.😤
Look for Kay Francis and William Powell in Jewel Robbery 1932 movie, excellent.
I get so excited whenever I come across a good movie classic like this. I'm a huge Powell and Norma fan so to find this right after watching Ladies Man is fantastic, especially since I've never watched either before this! Thank you for posting its very much appreciated and I've been collecting a lot of these so I can also share with others, I just need to clean up my list first but my movie file is public if anyone wants to check itout
What’s your channel name please ?
Such an a astonishing actor, and beautiful man! RIP Mr Powell💋⚘
William Powell was so very handsome. He had elegance he was a wonderful person and actor.
Theresa Holguin My absolute favorite!
Yes he was so handsome and a great actor .❤
He was! Now I understand the phrase “weak at the knees”.
I agree
That he was a great actor
Genial actor, thank you so much for this movie!
its a good movie and holds up very well especially considering its almost 90 years old.
When the guy says to her come on take a chance on me reminds me of ABBA’s song 🎶 Take a Chance on Me. I love 💕 all of ABBA’S music 🎼. When Momma Mea was in Amarillo I took my friend with me to see it. It was amazing. That was the last day that it was being shown. I was so mad at myself when I saw how good it was that I hadn’t gone all 3 nights to see it.
I have always loved William Powell movies 👍💕😊
William Powell is handsome and charming as always. I just love him, what a great talent! This movie is another proof why precodes are the best films!
You better believe it 😉😎
I agree. I love him too. He’s got class, elegance, and a great sense of humour. What’s not to ❤️
I like his mannerisms and his off hand comedic timing. I also like his voice and pacing of his speech. Cary Grant has of course similar affect as well.
My 3 favorite actors: Cary Grant, William Powell and Gregory Peck - love them
Actually like Henry Fonda too.
It was a really sad moment in the courtroom when he realizes the truth and you see his heart breaking.
Love the talented AND (categorically) debonair William Powell😉...✌❤🕯
Interesting flick. Wiliam Powell is brilliant, as usual, even if this script is a slight departure from his usual fare. It's one heckova courtroom, with is caged passage along the edges. Seems the '30s understood criminal behavior differently than contemporary justice. And after all this flick is only 94 years old! Thanks for posting.
As soon as he said "nitroglycerin", I immediately knew what was about to go down! 😂 Only in Hollywood. Very entertaining movie.
Bill Powell was always the classiest, most intelligent man in the room, and even with film quality over 90 years old, dim and fading at parts, you could see how attractive he was.
Thank you ,I Love old movies !🙏💖🙏
Two of the most wonderful actors I've ever seen👁🙂🗽powerful movie !
Wm. Powell is my favorite actor of all time 💓 smooth as silk . My second choice would be Melvyn Douglas 💞. For sheer movie enjoyment, you can't can't go wrong watching anything from either of these two . These two could read a technical manual and people would pay to listen 😂
Debby Parker I agree, but add Spencer Tracy, too.
... I agree , very entertaining , a lot of depth...a lot of range 🤔
I’m hearing an echo
Good taste
Mine also, two of my two favorite actors. Douglas could be funny, romantic and also played scoundrels.
@@eveyholmes No chance for Eugene Pallette then?
Thank you
I love the old films, I would love to have lived-in the 20s.
Even in the line up the crooks were coat and tie...ah, the 1930's!!
I would love to go back in time to see what life was like back then....
You got it🤓
Ahhh! 😭 Good movie 🍿🎥
I adored watching this movie, thank you 😍
What can you say he was cool and he knew it wow wow. My favorite actor wow
Kay Francis is such a beauty!
Great film!
Thanks!
William powell has a resemblance with indian actor Guru Dutt.
The old driving scenes always crack me up with the racing by, crazy background proposing an entirely different style of driving 😂😂
Didn't see that ending coming!!
Terrible fuzzy out of focus film , difficult to watch..but an antique none the less still a fun movie.
This should have been called "I can't make you love me if you don't"
Think Powell's best movie was 'My Man Godfrey w/Carole Lombard...except all but the last Thin Man
That & The Baroness & the
Butler.

What about life with father,film with Irene Dunne?
Gable and Powell had much in common, indeed. If you haven't delved into the whole very dramatic Lombard story, the hours of reading literature dealing with this triangle are more than worth it.
There was no triangle. Lombard & Powell were divorced in 1933. Lombard & Gable began an affair in 1936, Lombard and Powell remained friends until her death. Lombard's true love was singer Russ Colombo, not Gable. Powell's love was Jean Harlow. Life is complicated.
Excellent!
Gr8 movie❣️ “When I man loves a woman...”Beautiful❣️🎉💕
Didn't waste a lot of the viewer's time establishing the plot and filled in all the details rather succinctly. In the process a lot of human characteristics were revealed, some in the O'Henry style. William Powell reminds me a lot of Clark Gable when each is in his more serious moments. As well several of their facial features are similar, although when younger, Clark Gable could have been said to be a bit prettier (quite sure he would have rejected that adjective though). Sad to see how Powell aged, and it makes me wonder if he drank as much in his personal life as he often did on film. If so, well... You never know what inner turmoil drives one to drink (case in point, the lawyer portrayed by Powell in this film who endured his circumstances only with the help of alcohol). I do hope God has a great deal of pity for the human race, the human condition. I sincerely do. 6/2020
Great flick "I tell you". "I tell you"... Crimoney - the guy reeled off 3 "I tell you's" in 90 seconds....
I tell you...
Kay Frances was gorgeous!
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 👏👏👏
14:58, 15:30 The audio goes in and out.
Gabby Hayes as a waiter? What next!
Would have watched this before but it just showed up on YT. 23 days later lol.
Pity Powell's gone~ I could'a used such an attorney a few years ago...
If only there was good Acting NOW
47:40 "i want to see my lawyer" followed by cops gregarious laughter. Lol.
Saps all. But they made it to Westchester.
He married 2 of the most by woman of his time both woman died a early age
So good. And The End.
(AKA He Did It For Love)??? by who? can't find any reference to this alternate title
I think Powell was musical
The flip side run in film oughta come after the letter de Esq e 🔥 🐍 Phoenix J o Blaine J o Barney gets a Burnol and comes in the papers at DAWN
No such thing as a poor devil!
And now back to ‘Fast Talking, High Trousers’…
Hope to enjoy this one
Stop screwing up the beginning with the book title. The book title is obviously not the movie title.
It was purchased from Paramount without the use of the title. The new owners had to create a new title.
O' no they are going 45 in that old heap! They took there life in there hands.
🥰💖🤩😘
That’s a terrible ending!!🙃
Volum sicks
Yummm
Why not 480p?
I do not as yet possess the tech savy to upload films like this in stretch screen
I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea for the public school system to take their students on a field trip to their local jail, just to leave a lasting impression on their young minds. You know, around 11 years old, before they become teenagers and think they are smarter than their elders.
There wz a Documentary made n the '80s w/that idea,called Scared Straight.It wz intriguing & provocative!

What if they like the jail and think it's cool?
Niitro A wartime topical when Brandy wouldn't get that much a hollering for being found at a cirrhotic.s as such a toxin unexplained in the 🏠 household. A good set of chemical quizzicals give a good momentum to the start engine o the film
