Yeah, Qualen is great. More later.
Here comes the best part of the movie, the ditch digging.

Looks like a good print so far! In fact, the best print I've ever seen!

Thanks.
This film is very interesting.
I think I saw it on one of the Turner channels years ago. It had the word "Communism" in it, and it was a pretty good print.
Then many years later I saw it again, somewhere, and it was a bad print and had the word "Communism" removed, censored out it seemed, probably by somebody years ago. The print looked like an old 16mm print.
So I don't know which print will be shown tonight, but even if it is the old 16mm print, it's still a good rare movie about the depression era.

Dang I forgot to warn about this film sooner. It's coming up at 8 pm Eastern on Sun. Jan 7, right after Jezebel.
"Our Daily Bread"
This is a depression-era film about a commune of American farmers, very interesting, very political for 1934.

Sorry for the margin warp. It didn't warp on my machine. It wrapped around ok.

Could it have been Yankee Doodle Dandy about George M. Cohan and his family?

Back when I was a kid in the early '50s, we listened to the radio shows every night. They were just as good as the later TV shows, maybe even better because of all the sound effects. Remember the creaking door of Inter Sanctum?

Your collection sounds great. I love the Charlie Chan films. They are pretty simple, but relaxing and never boring. I like the Chan character.
I think he started in a series of mystery books back in the '20s. The first Chan character I've seen in film is in the 1929 "Behind That Curtain". He's played by a Chinese actor and is just used in a few scenes.

"Kind Hearts" is so funny and unusual.

Yeah, but that plane was high for a while.

Just a note... ?Inherit the Wind? was a fraudulent movie. In the real Scopes trial, it was Darrow who was nuts, not Bryan. The trial was arranged by the ACLU as an attempt to federalize all state public schools and their curricula.
If you are interested in the Scopes trial, you might want to read the very interesting transcript, available here:

Yes, that sounds good. If the children and grandchildren don't write books, at least they can be interviewed and can tell their stories. That would be very interesting.
-
Yes, "Stranger on the Third Floor" was very good, very artistic.
-
Everyone needs to see "The Bitter Tea of General Yen".
-
George Arliss also did a great film in 1929 titled ?Disraeli? with a similar theme.
-
How about the last "I steal" scene in "I'm a fugitive from a chain gang".
also, the last scene in "the third man", the one with the girl walking toward the camera for about 2 minutes.
-
I'm not sure when it will be on again, but TCM generally runs it about once a year, so it might be on later this year.

Oh, well, you can't be right all the time.

I've been there. There is a nice old church downtown. I shot some film there a long time ago, back in '63.

Ok, you got me on that one. Never been there, never heard of it.

Ummm... the "ar" in your link means the website is in Argentina. The Mexico country code is mx.

Hmm.... imdb says the movie was filmed here:

I don't know about the place in the movie, but there are some cable-cars in Latin America that go to some small villages. Generally, the long route involves a long horse ride up a long winding trail (usually down one mountain and up another), but some cable cars are used to link one mountain village with a nearby highway which is at the other end of the cable car. You can either take the cable car or go the long way on the winding road. But I don't know if one of those villages is in the film.

You mean the colorized Greed slide show?

Hmm. You might have to look for it in each month's schedule to see when it will be shown again.

Karen Morley was Paul Muni's girlfriend in "Scarface." He took her away from one of the other gangsters.
She was also in "Arsene Lupin" 1932
