- Movie Class by PizzaFLIX: Although he was eclipsed by his more famous, Jason Robards Sr. (1892-1963) was an accomplished stage and screen actor whose film career lasted from 1921 to 1961.
Stars: Evalyn Knapp, Walter Byron, Jason Robards Sr.
Director: Richard Thorpe
When a young woman is about to be sentenced for vagrancy, a stranger tells the judge she was waiting for him and they were going to be married. It just so happens, a minister is on hand and offers to perform the ceremony. (a.k.a. Slightly Married)
I absolutely loved this film. It was exceptional. Really cute.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
It was a cute movie. Why do you say "I'm the Dead Girl"? I mean this with respect --I love you. Some times it helps to say that to a stranger.

im going to hell for what i think... but its cute yeah.
I relished Mary's girlfriend coming over to help her the most, with her east coast urban acting, showing friendship affection for a single girl becoming a single mother in a big city. The moment of womanly company without Jimmy of showing how to make it an alright time as working girls is what otherwise wouldn't be a seen scene after the Hays Code. After 1934, it's de-naturalized and the romantic love between men and women is tailored with aim to show only the social procurement of it, rather than all social life together and what's in between. I feel that part of the film solidifies "Strange Marriage"(1932) as anchored just a bit more of Mary 's survival and vivacity than the begotten sweet re-unioning.
"The house is on fire," and she runs into his arms. Very sweet romance. Excellent 1930's movie classic. Lovely evening gowns.
I like this! Movies of this era were no less absurd, but they had a sweetness, and sophisticated culture we lack 90 years down the road. I hope YT allows these gems to stay up.
Aestro Ai The censors didn't allow those gems to stay up back then. :)
Now it’s all pre-emptive programming and fake lifestyles for people to emulate without thinking
I love the old Hollywood movies. They are pure gold. Great Movie.
I enjoy them as well.
I agree with you 100%!!!
"No woman is going to marry my baby's father" the line struck the heart
Not baby daddy ?? XD
The Butler Hodges Jimmy's BFF
I like how the taxi driver just takes that line in stride and gets her to the other car!
Eclairs ( hee hee) she reminds me of Christina Aguilera . Everyone was so elegant the homes and decor. And the beautiful clothing.l love the code of polite manners,getting dressed up for parties , dinner, theater, times have changed so much. Thank you for showing these old movies.
Lori Bollinger Fictional rich people have always lived well, that's for sure. The real Depression-oppressed average people, not at all. They went to the movies to be shown a fantasy that even people today believe existed somewhere for someone.
I don't think you can expect much empathy for the wretched of the earth from someone with a name like that!@@653j521
Pizza FLIX the best for old black and whites AND especially the film noir library. Thank you and I'll subscribe!
Loved it! Very charming movie with good acting. Always enjoy see Evelyn Knapp, she is so petite and lovely. Thank you
I really like this old movies.
Pre code are great.
I could watch it another 40 times..brill
THERE ARE SOME GENIUS LINES IN THIS MOVIE
Genius writing in this film with a Great Cast to boot! Just loved Marie Provost (Nellie"s) character. Had to go back a couple of times just to listen to some of the liners!
‘Have you ever been hungry?,
Shakes head, ‘ only thirsty.’
Nice.
What a nice movie! Thank you so much
OhMyGosh...Just what the "doctor ordered"...What an absolutely delightful movie...especially during this lonely & frightening time of being quarantined in our homes & all the worrying we're doing about the present AND future uncertainties as well as worrying about our health dangers...
PizzaFlix...Thanks so much for providing such an enjoyable film...I loved every minute... I am such a fan of your channel & always look forward to watching your movies... Be well... *: )*
I’ve seen this before, but it was worth seeing again! What a great script with one liners!
I just wish the women’s clothing was still like that
You can buy vintage clothing. I saw a young lady here in England last week in beautiful vintage clothing and told her that she looked so feminine. I could tell that I made her day. Lol
"How much do I owe you. $42. What for? This gentleman here. That's no gentlemen that's just a hole in the floor." Crazy about these old movies. Thank you!
Evelyn Knapp; a shame she cannot know in any 'conventional' sense how much I love her; her greatest crime being the small number of films she made. The characters in this one are all so distinct.
some great acting, dialog and story. Thank you for posting
the " hogging the whole window" line was sweet.
Love Evelyn Knapp. Great actress and delicate beauty.
Such an engaging movie from 1932! Thanks!
What a jewel. They don't make movies anymore, just spectacles. It is a shame they didn't credit the assistant to the assistant dolly grip.
Absolutely. Everyone deserves a mention in this masterpiece.
Also known as “Slightly married”. Great classic film.
I agree, I can imagine it caused a little controversy then.
Married Just Enough @@ilahildasissac1943
Great movie! While the plot is crazy, the human issues it discusses are taken straight from real life. It‘s like a time machine to the world of my parents and grandparents.
It was very hard to recognize the young Jason Robards in the character of Jack!
I'm pretty sure that is the father of Jason Robards, Jr. (Oscar winner, etc.)
@@lovemovies3993 I‘ll bet you‘re right about that. JR jr. would have been a mere boy.
"That's the trouble with these idealists. . They're always so magnificent. And just when you're getting used to their grand gestures, the y rush off to be magnificent somewhere else." That line was pure genius.
Yes that happens till they really fall in love.
That was a great line and unfortunately told to Mary as a con by Jack the rat. Well he finally got decked out.
@@septimuswarrensmith879I was so happy when Jimmy punched Jack.
@@AnnemieM oh my
Yes
Thank you for uploading this wonderful film!I really enjoyed it!
Absolutely brilliant thank you 😊
WALTER BYRON REMINDS ME OF LOWELL SHERMAN.......HE'S ALSO ATTRACTIVE TO LOOK AT .....!!!!!!!!!! VERY GOOD FILM...........
what a gem! i didn't expect to love this movie so much
Yes a cute love story... with a great ending... Love the old movies when people loved people
Thank you so much for uploading this. Very good movie. Look at the landscaping at the end. Lovely street. I liked the actors in it, and I love 30s movies. They were so real, people really lived hard lives.
It's known as The Great Depression. My mother raised me on stories about the hard times everyone had and how they coped. Her family lived in the country so they could at least grow a vegetable garden, have some chickens and eggs, and share a cow with neighboring relatives for milk. (As long as the weather cooperated, they could scrounge up seeds for planting, the cow didn't go dry or die, and the hens kept laying, that is.) Her father had a badly crippled leg, so no one would hire him for farm work. They were so cash poor for things that couldn't be raised, like clothes and doctor bills. My dad's family was even worse off, his mother died when he was 10, leaving 7 children behind, born within 12 years. The last birth of twin infants killed her and they died soon after. Grandpa never remarried until he was an old man.
Pizza Fix great movie! I have a color picture of Evelyn Knapp; she was a real charmer!
This movie was absolutely "Charming."
Absolutely delightful movie!!! Thank you for posting it.
I loved it ty for this treat.
Boy Pizza you done it again ! 💁👍🏾 great show ! 👏🏾😘🙋🏽
what is it about this movie, that makes it so charming: it's not the stupid story, that's for sure... The actors are perfect, the wardrobe and setting are nice, too.
There are probably more than a few real life stories that are very close to this story. Humans can be a complicated lot.
What a treat! Thank you, most sincerely!
Great film...dishy Jimmy.
Very cute!!!! Thank you
"I ought to punch you on the nose, in fact I think I will ", ... Brilliant lines in this really gorgeous film, Love it, x
Great movie. Thanks for posting. This film is titled "Slightly Married" in IMDB.
What fun!!!! Great actors and storyline! Along with a decent ending! Happy too!
Great movie
It is a well written pre code movie and cute in almost every way. But haven't seen a comment about the rape that caused the baby?! So much of the nonconsentual acts in this either undermined cultural attitudes toward women or reflected them!
True, she didn't look too happy afterwards but I didn't think the reason was rape! I didn't realize they done it at all it till the baby turned up. When I saw that scene I assumed he had fallen into a drunk stupor on the bed lurching at her and she'd left him to spend the night on the couch. Then this baby appears. Technically, hohum, if they were married, it wouldn't have been rape back then. That was a clumsy bit in an otherwise neat script.
Considering the popularity of these PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD film, yu'd think hollywood would get a clue. I know the script be a problem for hollywood writers because these were set mostly in the early 20th century, and part of the drama and humor comes from that time period. But hollywood still makes movies about ancient times. Just do a time travel -- not really, just write about 'those times', and joila! I've only watched the first 10 minutes or so and I think that I've decided the rich man marries an unknown woman because he doesn't want to marry the woman his mum has chosen for him. Gee whillickers! snicker And divorce wasn't easy back then. You know. I've changed my mind. Hollywood couldn't do it anymore. So, let's just keep restoring these old 'film' and present them on youtube. Even my grandkids are watching them!
I thought he married her firstly because he was sorry for her being on the verge of being charged with prostitution having been set up by a cop. Secondly because he was still drunk and therefore sentimental. And thirdly, when he'd sobered up enough to think about it, because it'd get him out of having to marry the perfectly OK (rich) woman his mum had lined up. I've seen versions of this plot in a few of these pre codes now. It must've been a popular subject of speculation at the time. Like: Is love real? What is the meaning of money? Etc.
Loved this!
This movie was perfect! I loved every single minute of it, and it ended just the way I wanted it to! Thanks so much! 🌈🌈🌈
So cute! The guy married the real deal and found it out after the fact.
“I ought to sock you in the nose...and I think I will. POW! LMFAO.
Reminds me of John Wayne's scene in MClintock ! "I know, I know. I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in forty years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this morning, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't!" *POW*
Very cute movie❤
Awesome story line! Better watch it! 'There is someone for everyone'. ❤💚💜💙💛
A sweet and charming movie ...loved it ...thank you!
Marvellous - I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Mary McCarthy.
Nelly held this movie on her shoulders
“Don’t be rude, Jimmy. We’re not married yet”
OMG Between this and:"l am a criminal." It's _Cryfest Saturday_ 😭😢😪
A cute low-budget film from the golden naughty Hollywood era....I love the old soundtrack.
That's a great movie :)
She committed a "fox pass".....lol. Nellie is such a good friend.
First thing I thought was that Nellie was going to skedaddle with the money herself. Then I thought she'd at least come back to screw the lawyer and the Martens for more. But Nellie was a Good Girl too. They are all good girls in these crazy films, who just happen to be under a cloud of poverty or bad luck at the time. It makes you wonder if bad girls were a myth all this time.
Brilliant.
The acting is so genuine, with a few exceptions. Though this is a B movie, if done with a A production, it could have been a classic.
good show!
"Young man will you step inside the railing"
Anyone notice the similarity to 80s movie 10 with Dudley Moore and Lisa Mineli.
Nellie made this movie worth watching
She was a gem.
Funny and sweet movie
I couldn't help but wonder of some of the ideas from the movie "Arthur" came from this.
Nellie's a real gem in an otherwise tedious and predictable melodrama, the kind of woman who lives by her wits. Too bad she doesn't come into it until 47 minutes in. I particularly like the way she settles down the noisy card game at 56:59.
That trip to the grocery store, he better watch it, he'll be up to $20 before he knows it
That was adorable!
The "Nellie' character is adorable.
There are numerous scenes missing from this print. They are meant to be married by a minister in the courtroom at the beginning. We don't see the marriage. Numerous synopses recount the marriage scene.
Hmmm. I will snoop around for a longer print. Thanks for helping to improve PizzaFLIX.
I like this sweet charming movie
Good story, funny and a good ending
Charming movie. Cute.
I may never be familiar to the stars of this film . To tell this , I'd would rather be watching these true classics than most of today's garbage of today's movies and tv shows . 😊😅😂❤🎉
Perfect 🥰 movie 🎬 for a quiet and romantic Friday Night...
Wow. A $42 bar bill in the 1930s? That must have been a small fortune back then. The one thing about the ending is that he never found out that she never took any money from him.
Its not a flawless plot by any means but it carries you along. Being only an hour long is a good idea. Unlike that hyped up trash these days.
Good movie
Really classic 👏👏
Apparently the waif look was in. The voluptuous look came a little later
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great 👍 movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 🎦 📽 👌 .😊😅😂❤
I love pre code movies telling the truth, and of course this is a great movie, but WTF is up with everyone saying this is cute????? Gritty yes. Cute oh hell no. Rape is not cute.
They're referring to the style, not the content.
@@FungusMossGnosis sure, but my opinion still stands. As cute as the style may be.. the content makes "cute" in any form as a descriptive a bit creepy for this movie. But I still think its a great movie.
@@sacha4566 Yes, I wasn't contradicting that, but I've seen "cute" movies that were made under Nazi German film industry. Even if the content is gross or hateful, the style was undeniably "adorable".
And most people, even today, aren't going to see this as a rape-themed movie. The wider context almost always escapes people's attentions.
@@FungusMossGnosis true true... On the other side of the coin, I rrrrreally love the honesty of old precode movies. Wish modern movies were all as honestly written. Also, I appreciate your input. So many people comment in such an angry way. It is nice to have an adult discussion with someone☺
Rape? Where do you get rape from? She agreed to it - she was in love with him, remember? Unless of course you're using the new expanded meaning of the term where unless she specifically asks for it it's rape (and even then it may be, if she decides it is). Anyway, I notice you're not bothered about hitting people in the face on a whim and rendering them unconscious.
Best motivation ever and best lines ever. Jimmy Jr.'s going to get a stepmother over her dead body.
We are breaking speed limits and causing scandal to get this guy back. Lol.
"Listen, you two-cent broadcasting station, if you breathe a word of this to her the only thing you are going to read is a hospital chart."
yep...depression era movie....Well done!
This movie is cute, and certainly makes me regret the soul killing "code" which put an end to this kind of creativity.
On the contrary, I think the Hays Code movies had better creativity and far better morals. They get my vote any day, and I'm a millenial!
@@streetofdreams4538 I'm not at all surprised that you're a "millenial." Only a millenial would think that censorship makes things better -- more genuine and authentic, LOLOL.
@@GetMeThere1 Well I am a senior and Chris is correct. Also the code saved the movie industry. And it was and still is voluntary. The industry was dying before the codes were put in. You need to look at some of the silents and early talkies. Very shocking stuff. Explicit. Families, women and kids quit going because they did not know what to expect
The code was put in by the studios to get the audiences back.
@@streetofdreams4538 You are 100% correct
@@saran3214 What you are saying is illogical on its face: A director can't direct a good film unless somebody else tells him what should be in it? Your position is a perfect absurdity Oh, and...I'm a senior too (but I wasn't around in the twenties, lol). Today we have films ranging from the most conceivably obscene pornography to childish (corporate inspired) crap also often obscene in it's own way -- and there's nobody there to tell anyone what they can and can't do -- and the films end up as good (or bad) as the director can make them. Instead films are rated based on their content, and the viewer can decide for himself what to see. Can you really be so obtuse?
This is like the original version of ‘Arthur’.
please reply with time stamps of the naughty parts . thanks

A charming film.
Jeeves first appeared in a P. G. Wodehouse story in 1915, this was 16 years later.

Longest intro ever!😁
38:56 the symbolism of a train as playing ping-pong is this old, maybe used already during the silent era?
Was that 2nd lead male character really Jason Robards?
Jason Robards, Senior.

1930s movies are the best
Loved this!
I have seen this movie 4 times because it was cute and touching all at the same and I enjoyed the chemistry between Ms Knapp and Mr Byron it really seemed genuine(unlike today's movies) And that Marie nearly stole every scene she was in ,what a character!!! 👍👍 will probably watch a few more times👏👏
We need to keep these great classics alive.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 ❤ 🎉😂😅😊 .
