    I love the fashions back then! The 30s, 40s and 50s had so much class...the suits, and hats...I wear suits and hats when I can, but we've become so casual, sloppy even. Now I see grown women in public...in their pajamas.
    We stopped caring about appearance. 😔
    Edit: I love the furnishings too! Every room so lovely. Now tackiness is the norm. I like real wood, rich fabric sofas, chairs and drapes. I haunt the thrift stores for such things.

I am so pleased you maintain minimal commercials if any in your mostly phenomenal choices of films.

    I enjoyed this movie 🎥 very much, thank you for making it available.
    I love the old movies, between the 1930 - 1940. I didn't care too much for the '50 era. From then on seems like everything fell apart. Family structure, Moms weren't home anymore when kids got out of school.
    The 60's ☮️ (me included) were trying to find their heads. Wasn't that a crazy mixed up era.
    Well I finally found my head fortunately before my daughter was born, thank the Lord.
    Actually now that I'm thinking about it I love reading old books era 1800 thru the '40's. 🇺🇸

    The opening credits are somewhat unusual for a 1936 movie, in that the Director was listed last. That didn't become standard in US films until 1940.

I don’t care for Evelyn Brent and was amused at the “femme fatale.” That woman was no beauty. Jack LaRue is always fantastic. Really did enjoy this movie……thank you.

      S Douglas ... Too bad the audio is up and down, muffled and tainted by noise in the film's track.
      Can you possibly undo what the sound engineer/editor did 80 yrs ago?!😐😐
      I added some bass tones but wasn't enough...the treble tones in the audio washed out the inflections of voices and, therefore, the words.

      Hilary C ... It's not in the volume at all, Hillary Clinton.
