The King Murder (1932) PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD 

totallyagree yet only 66 minutes Pure class to do less is more acting dress style sooo good

I was thinking about the TV show Law and Order, the next lines out of the actors mouth were the words law an order

I pray they had a joyful life until the end 💞💞💞

@@suzieqwonder3089 I do not know about these three. However, great story about their contemporary, the enigmatic beauty Dorothy Mackaill. She was VERY big, mostly a major studio playerand getting rediscovered today, and Day was quite big in the silent era but I believe Mackaill was even more problem. Then she did a number talkies but left it all behind at a young age. 40's ? 50's? 30s? Well turns out she had made a fortune from Los Angeles real estate from her career earnings and so she could afford it to walk away and for. the last few decades of her life she lived at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu! Kings, Presidents , and other famous people have been staying there for decades. And Dot Mackaill. Some person wrote she loved dishing the dirt with the other posh ladies poolside at the Hotel, and enjoyed watching the pool boys ! Pretty good for a poor child from a shipbuilding town in England. Great story.

@@gregorypalmer5403 Thank you for the interesting account.

@@scallopohare9431 You're welcome! By the way Gboard keyboard from Google wants to spell for me after I hit" send" so it's out of my control but " problem" is their word not mine. My word was " popular".

Unfortunately, Marceline and Dorothy were “gray-listed” and reduced to minor roles and “B” pictures because they refused to sleep around. Both finally quit films while still young. Natalie had powerful friends and was able to stay in until around 1940. In those days, even married women were not safe from lecherous directors and producers. Leila Hyams, a super-star of the early 1930s, quit films for that reason. Luckily, she was married to a very wealthy agent. I don’t think any of those women, even those married several times, ever had any children. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Never heard of pre code before this

She was in the Philo Vance movies too

Really? Good eye , I'll look for her . Thanks. Did she play Julia Wolfe?

A good actor.

Yeah, interesting....

It's better that way. **And think of how many abortions there may have been.

@@leelarson107 You have a point about the abortions, which were often done badly back then. Whether it’s better that way is subjective.

@@Outlier999 Abortion is the woman's choice and no one else's. *But the barbarity of surgery in times gone by was grotesque. Surgery, even today, is horrible; I've been through it more than once, and it's merely the lesser of two evils.........and the lesser of two evils is still evil.

@@leelarson107 You won’t hear me disagreeing except I do not believe abortion should be legal in the third trimester except to save the mother’s life or physical health or the child will be seriously low functioning or terminally ill. Most of Europe has laws in line with my opinions. My wife’s views are actually more anti-abortion than mine. I also believe abortion is a necessary evil, and that is possibly why so many old time actresses were childless. This was long before sexual harassment laws and #MeToo. Even married women were expected to get on the casting couch unless the actress or her husband was very powerful professionally.

The Flying Dutchman? Perhaps you mean Ride Of The Valkyries by Richard Wagner. 😉

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

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

I didn't know it was based on a un-solved movie

@@sarahcousins2903 Unsolved movie?

@@davidbrown552 she meant unsolved murder lol

Ach, These comments are really what keeps these B&W 's alive.

@@carolleenkelmann3829 Yours is the best one so far -- thanks for the hearty laugh!

Let's meet in a year and celebrate 90 years. 🤠

That's almost As old as me.

@@larrycarmody8325 You remind me of myself when I was still living.

@@leelarson107 ha, ha

@@leelarson107 😂🤣You and Larry should do a Vegas act👍

Spike Jones - he's the one I remember, those "Novelty" charts are very interesting.

who is the leader?

@@JokersNtheOddball Who's on First?

So, a Watson hater?

It couldn’t have happened then.

I think the voice actor you are reminded of is Paul Frees. I hadn't noticed it while watching, but reading your comment I can certainly see how someone could be reminded of him.

except for some who wear dresses

@@ph2492 they wore dresses then too but not in public except for "special " clubs.

@@carolleenkelmann3829 ...Milton Berle wore dresses on TV....and was hung like a donkey. No masculinity problems. (as soon as Norma Jean Baker began to have fame, she requested a very private date with Uncle Miltie )

@@robertwalker5521 Norma Jean Baker was a tramp. Seriously.

So you never wore a leisure suit?😅🤭

hi, thanks for your comment. sorry it took me more than a month to reply (yeah, I know there wasn't any question). all this period I just COGITATE what's the most creative reply I can think of :)) if you have seen the movie Hook Line And Sinker 1930 (video by the uploader The Video Cellar), you understand what I mean , if you haven't seen it, it's about time!

Correction. My mistake. Wotta schlamozal.

Society as such was better back then, before we were forced to be 'diverse'.

Movies without the background noise are far better and more believable. Movies today all seem to have 'rap' music in the soundtrack.

Lol. I dont hear. Music. When a. Crime. Is. Committed. Unless. The. Guilty have. A. Thing for. It. !!! I

Who really needs. Background. Music. Except. For. The. Spooky. Ones. ! Dracula. Etc. !

mark fahey, you missed the comment in the opening conversation where she says "toy store nigger".

@@bobbythorman7421 I had to listen again: she said, "notorious gold-digger." 💰

@@factsoverfiction7826 I'd better get my hearing checked,you're quite right.

And...that RCA Victor dog was in the room when each murder was committed. Coincidence?

There are two sound controls on your screen. Set the first one, in the lower left corner of the viewing area, to Full. Use the other, in the bottom right of the monitor screen, to adjust it from there. *You can get it THAT LOUD if you so desire.

@@leelarson107 lol thanks but i have both of those at max and i have exterior speakers as well, I do appreciate you trying to help though.

,

Der fliegende Holländer, to be precise.

​@@paulsomers6048 Ja wohl, mein Herr! Aber ich denke, die meisten Nationen übersetzen die Titel der großen Opern, oder nicht?

@@kh23797 Both the original and the translation. If the performance is in the original language, then the title is also given in the original. I know the opera in both languages.

It's bizarre

@ Thomas Goldfinch. It took me four runs over 24hrs to complete watching this film.

It’s merely sloppy plot adjustment. Chesterfield wasn’t in the business of making art. They made films destined for the second half of the bill. Fast and cheap. They didn’t even have a studio. They rented space at Universal and RKO. You’re reading too much into this, pal.

@@carolleenkelmann3829 It's 66 minutes🤪

Its. Like. Detectives. In. Stiletto. ! And. Dressed. To kill. Lol. Not funny. I saw such in a movie. But also. In live. Time ! I wouldn't be. Chasing. Anybody. !!!!

The deceased was female.....maybe, Billie Jean King!

And your point is.............what? This is a murder mystery, not a 'racial incident' in a major city.

Agnes Moorehead was born 1900. Natalie Moorhead was born 1901. *Not likely.

-that damn albert fish -was a real jerk!

Who's Albert Fish

@@jackwilson8764 Albert Fish (1870-1936) was a serial killer of children and a cannibal besides. He died in Sing Sing Prison.

Anyone who grew up using record players can explain what they were doing--I pricked my finger a few times. Try your local Senior Center if you aren't close to an older relative.

Happened lots when you tried to get the lint off the needle.

Exactly. The needle pocks up lint and needs to be cleaned after each use.

I told Santa that I wanted Natalie Moorhead for Christmas, but he's let me down.

*Glad we're in a world where all women are perfect.

SuzieQ Was very fashionable in roaring 1920th - 30th for women to be skinny and flat chested, obviously we can see those gorgeous dresses draped those kind of figures perfectly. Women used tape around the chest to flatten their breasts .The hair, the body all resemble mythical angelic creatures. Also vegetarian diet was well known back then and there were vegetarian restaurants in big cities. So funny how things are changed and today men are paying for women's breasts augmentation and butt enhancement enabling vulgarity!

no hormones and other chems in the food

@@Magnetron33 I saw plenty of movies of that era and noticed popularity of beauty "parlors" and massages. It was interesting to see all kind of tricks and machines they used to have for losing weight.

@@user-wc7mo9uo9o nothing has really changed in the way actresses are skinny back then or now

No, Everybody's just a fatass now

There's room for improvement!
