Murder on the High Seas/Love Bound (1932) PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD 

It is not too short, today's movies are far too long.

THAT's where I recognize her... Julia Wolf!

One of the original Platinum Blondes

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.

Hi Kathleen 🍕Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕

@ Sara: thanks. I’ve been adding movies more regularly now. Some of those intros take awhile.

Correct

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps PizzaFlix hadn't either when they titled it.

"Copyright 1949? I thought it said 1932," said I, apparently too.

@@gordonwieland2133 I'd love to see the original version in all of it's rawity.

Sounds like a Jim Morrison song...

@ JD -- The film was initially released in theaters as LOVE BOUND in 1932. It was packaged for TV broadcast in 1949 and re-titled MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be With You.

Renewed Copyright.

That was 'the Hays Code', so named after Will H. Hays, who was the president of an association of film producers. The idea was to have the studios 'self-censor' themselves and their films. Intimate scenes and blunt speech were forbidden. This was instituted in 1930. It wasn't heavily enforced until 1934. 'Pre-Code' is somewhat of a misnomer because of the varying degrees of enforcement over a span of years. It was eventually shown to be unenforceable and abandoned in in the 1960's. **That's one reason why the stuff coming of Hollywood ever since has been increasingly coarse, vulgar, and 'Politically Correct' and 'woke' besides.

@@leelarson107 Thank you so much

Not a big deal you could also bring a hammer.

@@jayreiter268 Was a hammer considered the same as a firearm back then??

Yes, they were.

Back in the day. It was more relaxed to be able to carry a firearm. They had to have a license. Some did have some didn't

Back in those days we weren't living in a BIG BROTHER 1984 type of society.

No. Actress Verna Wilson blackmails her married backer, John Randolph Sr., for $100,000 by telling his wife that their relationship is more than professional. His son Dick persuades his mother not to leave the marriage, knowing that his father must be innocent. Determined to find out the truth, Dick and the family chauffeur board a steamship bound for Europe upon which Verna is a passenger.

Seamed stockings don't do a thing for me. I like the later seamless look on women. It's a matter of aesthetics.

What do these times mean?
