    Despite all the comments complaining about the over the top/camp/ham-acting, & corny plot line, I enjoyed this movie as part of film history. 1931 was just 4 years into sound coming to moving pictures. As with anything new, one must learn to walk, & along the way, stumble & fall. Don't judge this film short-sightedly by today's standards, but within its historic context. At the very least, on a rainy Sunday, it's enjoyable; & for film buffs, it's a treat looking at the film sets, costumes, & reading biographies of everyone involved in the production. Besides all that, it's free on YT, from the comfort of your own home. If you don't like it, you can always change the channel. Thanks for your time & efforts to upload a part of film history.

    • @geoffreycodnett6570
      @geoffreycodnett6570 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Well summarised. Even recording sound and maintaining sync was difficult to do back then. There were few actors making the transition to sound and I suspect the slow movement was a result of having to keep microphones near to speakers and having to control many different changes in sound and picture working properly. No mobile phones or video back then.
      Thanks to the poster for a piece of film history.

    • @marycallahan2398
      @marycallahan2398 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@geoffreycodnett6570 Yes indeed. Synchronization of dialogue, voiceovers, sound effects, & the music score with film footage was a huge transition for everyone. I can't begin to imagine what people had to contend with. Movie studio executives, directors, cinematographers, sound technicians, actors & actresses were learning & adapting, often with unintended poor or comical results. And 90+ years later, unappreciative You Tube viewers still comment about the poor sound & bad/stiff/wooden/silly/ham actors. Perhaps the faultfinders should watch the 1952 film Singin' in the Rain--a delightful parody of this time period in movie history.

      Exactly. Before sound, they had to act in a way that was overly demonstrative because they had to accentuate everything in a stronger manner. However, I have no issues with campness.

    These movies are great for many reasons.
    1. Great writing
    2. Interesting story telling
    3. Inside jokes, you really have to pay attention because you will miss so many
    4. Acting- not academy awards level. But good enough for my thumbs up
    5. Story sets
    6. Don't need music to enhance story
    7. Wardrobe
    8. Story pace
    9. Lighting
    10. And so much more
    Thanks for having this movie available for all to see.

    a deranged wannabe strangler, a bitter old harpy with a neurotic fear of premature burial, a ne'er do well, a chump sculptor, and a femme fatal with the conscience of a uboat wolf pack commander... the characters alone make this a unique script. well played, well supported, good period technical work, and direction that makes it work, busy as it is. VERY worthy of watching! grab a bowl of popcorn and some milk duds, sit back and enjoy this convoluted tale of greed, madness, lust, and murderous ambition! you certainly can pick them srm818... as always, thanks for the load of this vintage gem

    This may just possibly be the best portrayal of a femme fatale in cinema history. Lilyan Tashman was absolutely amazing in this film: Sexy, blazingly intelligent, manipulative to the n'th degree, and impossibly gorgeous from every angle. It is truly tragic that she died of cancer only a couple of years later at the age of 37. And BTW, the film is well-made too. The 1931 pacing and camera work serve the creepy story well. To sum up, this is something of a minor masterpiece of American cinema that leaves many much more famous films in the dust. Highest recommendation.

Especially back then, when they didn't have the treatments/meds we have now. God Bless you Lilyan. I hope to meet you in Heaven someday. Much love to you, blessed angel.

    Lilyan Tashman is absolutely marvelous here, and her costuming throughout demonstrates why she was considered one of the best-dressed women of the era. Karl Struss' photography is also impressive - he would also serve as the cinematographer for SUNRISE and THE GREAT DICTATOR in addition to working on BEN-HUR (1925) and GONE WITH THE WIND.

But Lilyan Tashman steals the show: she makes Lady Macbeth look positively mousy in comparison.

    This is a damn good movie, especially considering it was made in 1931. The dialogue is intriguing and Laura is absolutely sinister.

    My favorite book about classic horror is written by William Everson(Classics of the Horror Film) and this is the first talkie he reviews.Great movie

      Everson is THE expert on vintage genre cinema.However,he has his contemporaries disdain for the (then new) Hammer films,which are now classed as Classics.I think it's a generational thing- I grew up watching the Hammers,but have little patience for these new-fangled horrors of today!

    Mr. Valcour has her number and he knows exactly what she is about, and is planning to do, before she does it.
    She wants to break down his defenses, and he is wise to her and knows it!

    This the the William Boyd who was arrested for drinking and drugs with whom movie-goers confused Bill Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy) for a while. Lilyan Tashman was a dish, by the way. Thanks for putting this on the Web.

    2:31 when Robbie says “ cant you see he is frightened?” ... the subtitles say “ can’t you see he is pregnant” . What a different film that would have been, lol.

    Maid: Are you Married?
    Officer Cassidy: Not that I know of.
    Maid: Do you have any bad habits? Do you drink or smoke?
    Officer Cassidy: I thought you said bad habits.
    Police Sgt: Cassidy, did you ever have a hunch?
    Officer Cassidy: I was going to get married once and something told me not to. It was the girls husband.

    An elderly woman installs a horn in her crypt in case she’s buried alive! William Boyd (not the William Boyd who played hopalong Cassidy) and lilyan tashman were good in this movie-it was a thriller from start to finish! Yes-we will go together-but to the police station-good line! Great to watch! 😊😊😊😊😊😊

    The ending & Miss Tashman's character are similar to The Maltese Falcon. one of the few leading roles for William"Stage"Boyd.
