OOOH!!! Myrna Loy....What an ACTOR! I enjoy this one and many other of her films....especially the ones with William Powell. Thank you for this download.
The reason why these movies are so good is because the Actors were professional. They worked hard to make their characters come alive on the screen. With good morals and Myrna Loy is one of the best ❤❤❤
I love watching these classic movies. And I enjoy the company via comments section after I've watched it. I yet to find a negative interaction amongst true "Classic Movie Society". Thank you for showcasing these wonderful movies and Thank you to all the fans within the comments! 🤗
I knew when I saw Warner Baxter, it was going to be a good movie. When I saw Frank Capra's involvement, I knew it couldn't miss. It may be my past experience as a groom on tracks all around the US many years ago, but this is by far my favorite movie on TH-cam.
In these quarantine days of scrolling through TH-cam movies I've become so jaded that sometimes I'm ready to go on to the next one before the opening credits are even done The strength and reliability of certain reputations make you want to stick around, and in this case *directed by Frank Capra* was all I needed to see, and yes I'm very glad I stuck around .
A perfect synopsis of how many true film buffs like myself who share your sentiments exactly. No description of this film matters little ANYTHING with Frank Capra attached to it must be golden! The bible says; A good name is rather to be chosen them great riches." I'm the wonderful name Frank Capra you get both a name you can trust and always a wealth of quality performances.

Prior to Frank Capra's arrival at Columbia, and his "It Happened One Night" finally putting the studio on the map, there were theatres that wouldn't book Columbia pictures; they weren't very good. But "Night" ran the table and Columbia was on it's way. They had few stars, borrowing Warner Baxter and Myrna Loy to make this one, primarily because they wanted to work with Capra.
Those few seconds of silence at 1:37:14 is all you need to know about Myrna Loy's acting ability. It couldn't have been more real. Myrna was 28/29 years old when the movie was made. Good fun film. Thanks for posting
OMGOODNESS....😱😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 being a horse and dog lover extraordinaire, I bawled my eyes out! Frank Capra always knew the best way to tell a story, but GEEZE! Bill gave his all for love.........great movie, lotsa Kleenex! God bless all here!😘🕊🙏✝️✡️💕🙋♀️
If that darn jockey hadn't forced Bill to fight him and the other horses on the track, it probably wouldn't have resulted in Bill's death. Capra revealed the reality of the racing industry, and made it as heart braking on celluloid, as it is in real life.
Yeah...who could be more charming and lovely than the still youthful Myrna Loy. Occasionally her sideways glances expose the savvy of a woman more experienced than the girl she seems to portray. This only makes her more irresistible. He’s too preoccupied to really see it. I know I’d have been sunk. What a doll.
Oh boy did I ever have a pleasant surprise!!! I thought this movie was about The Broadway Theatre or The Zigfeld Follies. Happily it was about horses which I absolutely love, and a fabulous one at that, named Broadway Bill !!! The ending is really too much to take. I was sobbing.
Aww i was at that Derby 🐎 GO BROADWAY DAN !!!!! But my heart broke 💔 when he fell and Dans heart burst 💔!!!! Did you know that Secretariet , triple crown fame , had a bigger heart then normal although his heart was a normal heart ♥️!! That was the greatest horse 🐎 in my personal opinion. There has been a lot of great horses .
Warner Baxter 's character with the horse groom, is so fun and natural. Showing they were also friends. Especially when in most movies of the 30s and 40s, Black actors were portrayed as dumb, yes 'em and no' sem, yeah Boss.
Clarence Muse, HUGE life & career, law school graduate, activist, over 100 movies, died in his 90th year just before release of The Black Stallion, his final film.
I thought that voice was familiar the face a little younger but the voice yes that is auntie M I'm 66 years old and grew up on The wizard of Oz I was thinking that to myself😉
WOW What a great movie!!! Thank you. I need to find more William Baxter movies. I think he only had a few Crime Doctor movies, I think I've seen all of them.
Doris, it's Warner Baxter. He gives a great performance in the black and white musical film '42nd Street' This is an amazing musical with a depth lacking in most musicals. You'll see what I mean in the number 'Lullaby of Broadway". As far as I know this movie is not yet on TH-cam.
In 1950 they made a remake of this movie called "Riding High" with Bing Crosby and 6 or 7 of the original cast members of "Broadway Bill". Comparing the two movies I like this one better.
@@laradavenport903 Everyone is not you. Some people won't watch a movie if they know any details about the plot. Please recognize there are other people on this planet with different thinking than you.
In those early years, Columbia had one really bad thing going for it: Harry Cohn, the dictator who ran the studio. And one really good thing: Frank Capra, who made most of it's best movies all through the 1930's. Capra was able to borrow stars from the big studios and make great films quickly, and on shoestring budgets. Here's one of them.
Warner Baxter won Best Actor for IN OLD ARIZONA (1928), as The Cisco Kid. See him in 42nd STREET, trying to save the show, telling Ruby Keeler, "You're going out there as a chorus girl--you've got to come back a STAR!"
Wow, Broadway Bill is such a beautiful horse! Lol; after seeing one of the first-scenes, I’m thinking that ‘Hot Diggity’ would be a wonderful name for a racehorse!!
@@PAn-su3wy sharp. Very sharp. I saw the "wicked witch" but I failed to see "auntie Em" until y'all pointed her out. I recognized her but couldn't put my finger on it. Thank you for the triva lesson. I love it!
@@amylausborne8675 Not unusual for old Hollywood. Loy would more than a decade after The Thin Man appear with the actress who played his widow (spoiler!) In The Best Years of Our Lives, she's Homer's mother.
Great movie , I like Myrna not being so fast and flirty with men, kinda like in the thin man.🤗Myrna is a good actress. This movie has a good storyline. I like the black guy He's helpful an funny😜and the lady cousin was too😱. Her clothes were too sharp , 👗👠👜
Gee I don't know which is worse, people who own horses who have no idea of its physiology or a veterinarian who didn't know his craft for both to allow to rush the poor thing to burst. Excellent horse racing captured at 1:31:51. Disturbing to watch at 1:32:13 and 1:35:09.
Animals were abused during this time There was no protection for child actors or animals It was horrifying what they did Makes it hard to watch such movies because behind the scenes it was a nightmare But then everyone today as no issues with meat and dairy Pretending animals want to be tortured and killed... If slaughterhouses had glass walls ............
Warner Baxter is mostly a forgotten actor today even though he won the Best actor Oscar in 1928, the 2nd one awarded, he started his film career in the early 1910s. He died at 62, suffering from arthritis &. for years his pain drove him to try drastic procedure in 1951, a lobotomy, ffs! Anyway he did not improve and complications set in & he died. It sounds a bit mysterious to me. He was an attractive man with a nice voice, it's too bad he had years of unrelieved physical discomfort/pain that shortened his career & life.
Married her sister while she was still living? No, not even a great zest for life can make that right. Nor can running a horse with a fever. Something went wrong here.
I was disappointed with the ending. I don't think the ending was all that believable. It seems like it was a tacked on haphazardly to create a happy ending. Overall, I hear that even Frank Capra didn't like the completed film, having reshot the film in 1950 with Bing Crosby under the title, "Riding High."
Wrong in what sense? Morally. legally,...? It certainly would make Christmas gatherings difficult but with a family like that, they probably were anyway.
OOOH!!! Myrna Loy....What an ACTOR! I enjoy this one and many other of her films....especially the ones with William Powell. Thank you for this download.

Most enjoyable all around. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I saw this show 50 years ago. I cried at the end....
Just saw it now, and guess what......
Nothing less than a great film!
I was sobbing after 50 minutes, crying for the
loss of almost an hour of my diminishing life.
I cried too.
How could anyone that truly loves horses and/or horse racing, not cry?

Happily it was about horses which I absolutely love, and a fabulous one at that, named Broadway Bill !!! The ending is really too much to take. I was sobbing.
I am very saddened by the fact that knowing Broadwsy Bill had a weakened heart, the doctor even commented on it, and very selfishly raced him anyway.
Don’t be stupid… it’s a movie😂
Loved this movie ❣
I love movies about horses, and I love watching horse races, especially The Triple Crown!!!!!!
What a great, GREAT movie!!!

Having kept chickens for years, I'm amazed someone managed to train that bird to perch on that horse's head!
In San Diego we have a homeless man that has a rooster that rides on his dogs back. The three of them go everywhere together.

@@unowen-nh9ov Not everyone "enjoys" that either. I myself, expected a comedy from Mr. Capra.
1:14:34 = take a peek at a 23 year-old blonde telephone operator named Lucy Ball!
Mr. Baxter was 45 making this one. Ms. Loy was 29--something of an age difference for a movie married couple, but Capra made it work.
Warner Baxter is mostly a forgotten actor today even though he won the Best actor Oscar in 1928, the 2nd one awarded, he started his film career in the early 1910s.
He died at 62, suffering from arthritis &. for years his pain drove him to try drastic procedure in 1951, a lobotomy, ffs!
Anyway he did not improve and complications set in & he died.
It sounds a bit mysterious to me.
He was an attractive man with a nice voice, it's too bad he had years of unrelieved physical discomfort/pain that shortened his career & life.
Married her sister while she was still living? No, not even a great zest for life can make that right. Nor can running a horse with a fever. Something went wrong here.
Love me some Myrna Lowe
good film. just a few tweaks and it could've been an enduring classic.
Ima in 😭 OMG
Awww lovee ♥️🙋
Error. The blackboard quotes Williams as BBill’s jockey, way before they decide on Williams.
NICE BABES! gorgeous gowns. or vice-versa.
This was sweet ! thanks for sharing :)
What about the jockey?
I was disappointed with the ending. I don't think the ending was all that believable. It seems like it was a tacked on haphazardly to create a happy ending. Overall, I hear that even Frank Capra didn't like the completed film, having reshot the film in 1950 with Bing Crosby under the title, "Riding High."
Margaret Hamilton! My honey ❤️!
Broadway Bill Makes me want to gamble!
OK!!! All you Eagle eyed old movie watchers!!! Guess who is at 1:14:40!!! YES! A Very young and new to the game Lucille Ball! Manning the phones!
Touching, but it is wrong for a man to marry his sister-in-law when his wife is still alive.
Perhaps his wife reconsiders to join him, IF she really loves him. After all, she decided not to stand by her husband, but her sister did.
Wrong in what sense? Morally. legally,...? It certainly would make Christmas gatherings difficult but with a family like that, they probably were anyway.
18:48~ Every race I've ever watched ran counter-clockwise?
