Tangled Destinies (1932) PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD 

I’m the same.

I'll take modern movies over ones where someone uses a racist slur, thanks.

@@graemesmith6721 where only Christians and white males are constantly mock and everybody is gay. You can keep that tripe.

Good observation there Howie - never thought of it that way. Thx

Wonderful observation! Thanks

Good point! I like these “tweenies” (after silents but before talkies hit their groove) because there is so much experimentation. And natural ness like you say!

So you're saying that these pre-feminists are just fine and that a lessened male element is even better. Did your wife tell you to say that? As for 'women's culture' being absent today, look at the junk that's coming out of Hollywood, where Political Correctness decrees that there be a female heroine who 'just happens' to have a black or a latino or an Asian counterpart who is ALMOST as strong and tough and smart as she is.

@@leelarson107 What I'm saying is that it was more like life, where half the population is female and participate in society. The rest of what you're saying is just your own attempt to put politics into it. Get a life.

Yeah, it surprised me too when he said it. I guess before the Hayes Code you were still allowed to say "damn" in a movie. You can thank the Legion of Decency for shielding our tender ears from such "obscenities" for the next thirty years.

Yes.

And cars, clothes and interior design of that point in time

@@sarahg3500 I have watched so many of these 1930's era movies that I noticed the other day that I am walking around with my hand on one hip like the female stars : )

Yes, old gems where someone casually uses a racist epithet.

+Lee Larson The computer monitor speakers have no limits in one field, and that's how bad they are! but if they changed this one little incidental character flaw, it would add $5,000 to the price tag. It's WAAAAAYYYY better to purchase your dream speakers and hook up the computer to them!! My dream speakers were always BOSE. So, I got me the Bowes CD and radio unit and hooked up my comp to that. EGGCELLENT!!! (egg-head [Vincent Price] in Batman TV series). Truly, listening, PLEASURE. It's def worth the price of the listening unit, which will outlast the number of computers one might purchase in their lifetime.

+LIZZIE SANGI Sangi (Lizzie) You can always use headphones instead of buying expensive Bose or things like that.

snmkytkn yEA, sure. One can buy any speaker, etc with a better sound than the lone computer, the sound that comes out of the headphones is only going to be as good as what is coming out of your speakers. One can hook it up to their TV, if that has good audio. :-)

Thanks for sharing this. I have wanted to buy a Bowes for a long time, but just never could justify the price. My Christmas present to ME has just been found.

Mamma Kaye Lee Remember: BOSE SPEAKERS!

Not as much as it had the 85 years prior to 1932.

For the worse. 😜

Unfortunately Hollywood has contributed greatly to the moral decay of this nation. The Jews and Catholics that run Hollywood need to take a bow for their corrupting our people.

The dead man was not an important member of the movie. If he had been, things would have gone differently.

LINDA BROWN But sometimes it’s more fun when you get bluffed! 😉 That’s a sign of a well written mystery! Those are the ones I like!

Clergyman wasn’t playing.

+Candace Gladden No, Ling was played by James B. Leong . Keye Luke portrayed Charlie Chan's number 1 son.

Yes, it is. Hollywood is bent on corrupting the moral fiber of America.

Two words.....Great Depression...... for goodness sakes the world was broke and hollywood along with it!..... cut them some slack most of them were inexperienced...... stage was the thing and they used movie jobs to PRACTICE their skills..... at this point people thought that movies would never last..... glad you liked it though!😁

(Shut up, Joy).....

If you find it gross, that's good. Tobacco was one of the biggest contributors to movies. That's why so many actors smoked on screen ... even if they just lit up and took one puff. It was a way for the tobacco industry to tempt their audiences into smoking through seeing their favorite actors smoking. It was highly successful.

Ed bernay's freuds nephew called them Torches of freedom ! Allowed tobacco co. to get the female customers.

And now, it's become the case that, if everyone QUIT smoking today, everyone's taxes would go through the roof (as your benevolent govt does what govts do to recover multi-millions in otherwise-disappeared tax revenue). Smokers, for good or ill, carry an awful lot more of the per-capita 'tax burden' in this country than others...and your govt ~still~ PAYS farmers to grow tobacco. Remember that (on tax day); in terms of 'Citizens Chipping In Extra', smoking is actually the egalitarian, 'All American' thing to do.... And, of course, Bernays (that's right; there's no ~apostrophe~ in his name lol) et al already demonstrated that smoking not only 'emancipates' women, but it's just plain *glamorous* . As Fran Leibowitz pointed out, "As a child, I realized that smoking is the entire point of being an adult".......

@@kittyhawk8414…….and a high percentage of those actors that smoked died from cancer
