Candidly - having seen the B&W version - I don't think the colourisation does it any favours ? Simple as that ! This *Talkie* is sensational for all other reasons: Top-class Actors, exemplary Camera work, and superb direction ! Thanks, Simon Ward, for being so kind and magnanimous to share it, and taking us back to the Chromium-plated Art Deco Days of Hollywood, before everything was dashed and sunk in Pearl Harbour with the predictable changes that such conflicts bring; the first Big Show (1914-18), having destroyed European The Age of Opulence, and introduced first Marxist-Trotskyism Communism and then Nazism to a naive , COVID-style, suckered world, by such characters as we see Larry addressing at at the beginning of this fabulous movie ! For my money, the best part of this movie is the emergence of a very young Bing Crosby singing a jazz number, as if he were a musical instrument, as distinct from just a crooner ! He is nothing short of cool and brilliant !

Bing Crosby only appears for a few moments - but they are magic moments
Wow! Thank you ❤
You are very welcome, thank you for watching :)
I enjoyed this film and am so happy you shared it! How about that young Bing Crosby singing The Lowdown at 45:24.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
My favourite would have to be Random Harvest but I don't think its available in the public domain 😢
Unfortunately, I think due to the music in the movie, it is not in the public domain.
Always seems to be laughing, this Douglas Fairbanks
45:23 Finally. I only pulled up this film for Bing Crosby.
Rather cheesy, but good!
Your copy is only 66 minutes long. I have a 73 minute b/w copy I could send you.
