Green Eyes (1934) MYSTERY 

& acting, Starrett is so casual & off the cuff funny here, from his $10 to be a yodeller comment to his use of the ridiculous costume for physical humour, his big football jock body parked on the stairs in lederhosen investigating a murder, I think @ 1 point cop (who he keeps bantering with) says I've had enough of your comedy & later, after a shirtless scene, cop says something about not getting his pretty body shot. Almost as funny as diapered boy toy getting whipped, stroked, fondled & drugged into zombie sex slave by Myrna Loy & Boris Karloff in Mask of Fu Manchu. Even 1st lead he's in unitard bathing suit seducing Miriam Hopkins on the beach while tossing off early Preston Sturges' dialogue. He played wide variety of roles in early films before getting typed in Westerns & did dozens of those for over a decade. Still looked best in a dinner jacket, how he debuted with the Barrymores, before starring in historic The Viking.

Why does it have to be so mysterious ?

Quite an accomplished dude, 1 of the founders of Screen Actors' Guild, educated, versatile. He along with Buster Crabbe & Kane Richmond were beautiful college jocks who became successful stars of serials & B movies but were never given their due, more talented & interesting performers than most Hollywood leading men of their era.

Read Jimmy Lydon's "history"

Since you mentioned marriage, Starrett, Crabbe & Richmond married once each, till death did they part, accumulatively 150 years!

@@robertwalker5521 Where is it?

@@unowen-nh9ov :. Jimmy Lydon,. IMDb... 150 movies. Died by six months ago.,

Thank you, John, for taking the time to impart this info- which is quite helpful.

He started in Westerns in the '30's.

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX

Macassar oil. The "thing" back in the thirties and early forties.

Then it wouldn't be a mystery any more.

Plus talkies were still in infancy and sound recording was such that it didn’t pick up everyone’s voice clearly, esp in scenes with lots of movement and people turning this way and that. For me the enjoyable part was watching Charles Starrett!

@@grimtt Who is great with dialogue, not a given for most former football players who try to act.

I kept running it back to try, lost the last line Lovers drove off into....Finish

He basically records the end of the movie as his newest novel.

Big hunk o' roast beef Starrett is hilarious, from his ridiculous opening costume to his indifference to the cop's bad attitude & threats toward him. Also, cop has much funny banter, even b4 bullying lead, "Take that cabbage outta yer mouth!"

Which is too bad because he was actually quite versatile, as were his untrained athlete actor peers, Buster Crabbe & Kane Richmond, they were never A list stars but game for anything & acted in every genre.

Thank you for not waisting my time, though the first 2-3 minutes where an obvious clue.

@@danieldumas7361 ...eat less and exercise more ..that will solve the waist problem.

The police arrived just as the killers killed themselves & the lead was a mystery writer, of course he (2 finger) typed about it, after sending the romantic leads on the honeymoon they were attempting @ start of movie.

The sight gag of big jock typing makes it worthwhile, Starrett basically transcribes end of movie as finish to his novel.

The movies were made for the BIG SCREENS of theaters. That WOULD make s great difference on the written words.

@@robertwalker5521 I know, totally agreed. I know they have reasons for what they do in filming, but sometimes the showing of it isn't in the ideal conditions the makers are hoping for. I do know they used to "voice over" the actor who is reading, or doing something he is pondering about, so that its like you hear their thoughts. They prolly don't even think of it, generally.

It said Don't forget to Drink your Ovaltine...

The typewriter needed a new ribbon. Old ones always typed fuzzy letters.

not meant to be watched on phones//

@@Mark-li7zl I have never owned a cell phone. I have never tried to watch a movie on a cell. I view that as futile and ridiculous. How about 70mm Cinemascope? It might as well be radio

Watch a movie on your PHONE? Don't you get cross-eyed? Don't people spend lots of cash on TV screens as wide as a wall to watch? One extreme or the other seems to be "cool."

I'm on a table top PC with a wide screen, I had it on the smaller "full screen" 15" wide, The letters were big enough but too fuzzy. Couldn't read one single word of it. They should transcribe it with subtitles or accurate caption, or a voice over!

Not missing a thing, he transcribe the lovers driving off together as the finish of his novel as well.

Aren't he & the amateur detective mystery writer doing chalk & cheese good (not) cop/bad cop routine? I quite enjoyed their friction & contrasting characters.

Eh?

You can blame pelosi - she held 'em up to thwart Trump.
