I saw no actor could be great dramatic and great comedian at the same time plus he was so handsome, elegant, cheerful and charming, he was incomparable
This film shows but a small sample of William Powell's wit and charm. One simply must view the Thin Man series starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles.
Who knows what lofty heights Lombard would have achieved had she not met an untimely demise. The screwiest of characters are often played by the most talented of actors.
So after being accused & searched for theft, sprawled in a chair - the evil way Godfrey eyeballs Cornelia from behind the flower _still & always_ gives me a chill! ⚡️Dude was HOT!
After seeing this classic innumerable times, it's great to see this colorized version 'bring it to life', so to speak. Eugene Pallette & Alice Brady, are as awesome as Carole & William Powell, a perfect film, but, it would've been fun to see a drunken Irene {Carole} arrive home on a horse and ride it into the library!
Third time watching this film. It is absolutely enchanting and refreshing. I love all the performances especially Lombard. So funny. William Powell was just extra. ❤❤❤❤extra fire he was amazing. I love this film so much.
lol tbh wasn’t sure if this “thing” with Mr Powell was just _me_ or .. i mean, he’s not even REMOTELY my “type” or whatever but in this movie he just .. sends me! 💕 Extremely gratifying to read comments like yours! Someone else mentioned something like “no wonder so many women loved his character” - NOT verbatim - but anyway this is so cool! It’s like TONS of women & doubtless lots of men ALSO agree that .. well i don’t know exactly what *_IT_* is - but in this film William Powell without a doubt possesses “IT”! lol *_WHEW!!🥵_* 🔥❤️🔥🔥 Sorry - TY for allowing me to invade your thread! 🤟🏼🕊️ Ps Not sure why but this comment is reminding me of Irene comforting Molly when they realize that they’re both in love with Godfrey! i adore her character - sweet but secretly smart! 🤣
I've seen this movie many times. In fact, this is the second time in two months, but this is the first time in color. Thanks for this wonderful upload. You have a new subscriber.
I like this movie better than I did the first-time round, understanding now that it’s a statement on Society (and History) at the time; though (from a story point of view) it still doesn’t make sense to Me that two such different People would have had a happy marriage, especially from Godfrey’s POV. …I suppose, however, that ‘Happiness’ (and Marriage) means something unique to Each of Us. I wish I knew more about the Writer of this story, and their experiences - leading up to the writing of this piece. (Incidentally, the Sets are spectacular; I enjoyed seeing what the decor may have looked like, in colour!) Thanks for uploading!
FDR was Americas 2nd worst President. Who cares what that pathetic Socialist thinks... FDR is who brought Fascism to America in the form of the Fascist New Deal. 1933 was a really big year for the Fascist/Socialists...
Wonderful film! It’s available in very good video quality on other RU-vid channels if you prefer to watch films without frequent commercial interruptions.
@Lemmings M Do you realize that this was filmed during Great Depression? People were literally starving to death, unemployed, hopeless, and these clowns were making these lame unfunny fairytales to distract them.
@Lemmings M I am a dialectical materialist and an expert in political economy and I know very well that problems with finances in case of millions of people do not appear out of nowhere, they are not the result of their "personal choices" or "personal mistakes" either. Capitalist crises are cyclical, they are crises of relative overproduction (come see a video on my channel called "Cause of crises" in 2 parts, in English). A massive crisis of overproduction, brought on by the capitalist mode of production, in which the purchasing power of the great majority of people (hired workers, employees) is increasingly lagging behind the scale of production, the amount of goods being produced - that was the reason for the Great Depression (and any other crisis in the last 100+ years). Farmers were spilling milk, killing and burying livestock, leaving fresh produce to rot in the fields etc etc because those were overproduced (in relation to solvent demand). People might enjoy watching these movies, distracting themselves. I know why - they don´t know what else to do and want to hide inside their shell. But in reality, they will only get out of this hellscape when they face exactly what is causing their suffering, instead of hiding from it. Eventually, they will have no other choice. It will be either die or fight. In any case, such movies are a cynical, vile, deceptive way to distract people, the way a thief distracts his victim when reaching into his pocket.
