Quote:
Hotel manicurist Regi Allen is a cynical gold-digger who meets her match in Theodore ‘Ted’ Drew III, the penniless scion of a once-wealthy family who is himself about to marry for money. After a date with Ted, she lets him sleep on her couch when he’s too drunk to get any further. But what is she to think when he wants to extend the arrangement?

A sparky, spunky gem from the underrated Mitchell Leisen featuring a young and more than competent Fred MacMurray alongside the peerless Carole Lombard. Released in 1935 just after the Hays Code came into full force, it somehow smuggled a very pre-code sensibility past the moral enforcers.

This is an ever-so-slightly bittersweet comedy that’s heavily influenced by the screwball style rather than fully representative of it (the imprint of Paramount’s recently-appointed production manager Ernst Lubitsch is unmistakable). It’s often overlooked in discussions of notable 30s comedies, unfairly in my opinion. Hands Across the Table outshines many more celebrated films from the era (Howard Hawks’ Twentieth Century and Gregory La Cava’s My Man Godfrey come to mind).

The post John Brahm – Let Us Live (1939) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Curt Hayden (Ralph Bellamy), a witness from the mob, is hidden away in a remote mountain cabin for his own safety. Accompanying Hayden is his young son Johnny (David Holt), who resents his father for planning to remarry. But Johnny loyally rushes to his dad’s defense when a pair of gunmen invade the cabin during Hayden’s absence. As the assassins await Hayden’s return, Johnny concocts a deucedly clever scheme to disarm them. This tension-laden climax is the best part of the picture, which otherwise is a traditional crime melodrama with romantic undertones. Plot Synopsis by Hal Erickson

The post Stuart Heisler – Straight from the Shoulder (1936) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

One of the very first Hollywood films that could be described as a noir, this brisk psychological thriller stars Chester Morris as an inmate who escapes from prison and hides out in the home of a famed psychiatrist (Ralph Bellamy). As the hostage doctor begins analyzing his captor and dredges up the secrets of his troubled past, the tables gradually turn. With its striking cinematography by Lucien Ballard and Freudian themes, BLIND ALLEY is an intriguing early expression of film noir.
