Bogie56 Posted March 3, 2016 I just cannot seem to come up with a Juvenile award for this year. Who got in the actual ceremony this particular year, Bogie? Was there a year when one was not given out? It's only on rare occasions that the juvenile Oscar was given out. And sometimes it was just an award to the performer with no mention of the film or films that he or she was in that particular year. I'll mention it at the start of each year if there happened to be such an award given out. How's that? I don't have one for 1933 either but I do for 1934! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a head start and figured out my picks for 34 and 35, and I managed to find a juvenile award for each year! I've also decided to continue with my best ensemble award, given to a movie's entire cast that I won't acknowledge individually. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GregoryPeckfan Posted March 3, 2016 As has been stated before, Jean Harlow and League of Decency programming will allow us to catch up - or at least record for the time being - movies that have been recommended by other people in this thread and that I saw on the TCM schedule that are new to me Here are some 1933 movies I am looking forward to seeing in the near future, or whenever they become available to me, in no particular order: The Story of Temple Drake Eskimo The Testimant of Dr. Mabuse The Emperor Jones The Eagle and the Hawk Queen Christina Wild Boys on the Road The Masquerader Another Language (Have I mentioned I'm a Robert Montgomery fan????????????????????/) And many, many more.

TomJH Posted March 3, 2016 I just cannot seem to come up with a Juvenile award for this year. Who got in the actual ceremony this particular year, Bogie? Was there a year when one was not given out? I haven't taken it upon myself to hand out juvenile Oscars. However, one performance from this year that would possibly qualify for one, in my opinion, would be Jackie Cooper in The Bowery. It's a Fox film so it's quite possible that this film has yet to be seen by some of the posters here. If memory serves me correctly, though, this film was on TCM a few years ago (and it's certainly been on the Fox channel, for those that get it). Wallace Beery and George Raft co-star, Raft playing Jim Brodie in his famous jump off Brooklyn Bridge. The pre-code racist language in this film (Beery's character, in particular, when he refers to Chinese) is noteworthy, and maybe even a little shocking. I think even young Cooper may use some of the same language, picking it up from Beery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregoryPeckfan Posted March 3, 2016 Quite right, Tom in that I have not seen The Bowery. I've written out my list of seen 1934 movies, so they are ready for me on paper for easy access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregoryPeckfan Posted March 4, 2016 According to a thread in general discussions, the May 2016 schedule is up and Marie Dressler will be the Star of the Month. That should mean Bogie, Lawrence and others who want to re-watch Dinner at Eight might be in luck. I have not looked at the list of movies yet, however.

And just to be clear, like darkblue mentioned in another thread, this post of mine was a bit navel-gazing in the tradition of our favorite poster. I apologize for that, and I only posted that previous message because this thread lasts all week and not much is said.

GregoryPeckfan Posted March 4, 2016 I just saw The Story of Temple Drake and it was well worth seeing just as everybody who recommended the film suggested. I wrote about it in I Just Watched. Unlike Lawrence who feels it is necessary to apologize for navel gazing, I have no intention of apologizing for my last sentences in my comments about the movie in the I JUST WATCHED thread.

GregoryPeckfan Posted March 4, 2016 In regards to my review on The Story of Temple Drake and how I am not apologizing for my last comment in the review, I see that someone - not involved in this thread - has risen to the bait as I expected to disagree with me. To my mind, this person must not be nor know any victims. Am I vindictive -perhaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingrat Posted March 5, 2016 For those of you who haven't seen LADIES THEY TALK ABOUT, you're going to enjoy the scenes in the women's prison. The characters are played more for comedy than for the grim kind of drama in CAGED. There are some really good bits by a variety of actresses. ANN VICKERS, based on a Sinclair Lewis novel, is an interesting drama directed by John Cromwell. The film is not very long, and the themes flash by rather quickly. One would assume that Lewis developed them at greater length. Ann Vickers (Irene Dunne) is an idealistic prison reformer, and she has a child out of wedlock because of WWI, like Olivia De Havilland in TO EACH HIS OWN, and she has an affair with a judge (Walter Huston) accused of corruption. Irene Dunne and Walter Huston give solid performances, as you would expect. Sinclair Lewis must have been interested in younger women, given that ANN VICKERS, DODSWORTH, and CASS TIMBERLANE all include the older man/younger woman romance. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ladies They Talk About cracked me up. I love Barbara Stanwyck's decorated cell and her very cutely tailored jail dress. It didn't look like a sack like the other ladies' dresses. Barbara Stanwyck's jail in Ladies They Talk About was like a sorority in comparison to poor Eleanor Parker's jail in Caged. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted March 5, 2016 I would like to propose that like the Top Ten Films thread that we do a decade review list. This will happen for one day when we conclude 1939 and before moving on to 1940. I am going to recap only my winners in each of the four acting categories for each year of the 1930’s. If you have had ties this will be the time to pick just one for this list. You can add Juvenile performances to the 2 lead and 2 supporting lists if you like. And within the recap I am also going to select one from each category that I consider the best of the decade. My best Actor Recap would look like this so far with the ****’s denoting my choice for the best of the decade… 1930 Emil Jannings, The Blue Angel 1931 Peter Lorre, M **** 1932 Marx Brothers, Horse Feathers 1933 Charles Laughton, The Private Life of Henry VIII So please keep note of your winners in each category if you wish to participate in the decade review after we have completed 1939 some weeks from now. It will be interesting to see if there is a consensus in some years. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingrat Posted March 5, 2016 Perhaps I ought to see DINNER AT EIGHT again before voting for Best Supporting Actor, which yet again seems like much the weakest category, but here goes: Best Supporting Actor for 1933: Jack La Rue, THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE* Edward Everett Horton, DESIGN FOR LIVING Wallace Ford, EMPLOYEES' ENTRANCE Franchot Tone, TODAY WE LIVE I'm curious to see what will happen in 1934. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kay Posted March 5, 2016 [...]Jack La Rue, THE STORY OF TEMPLE DRAKE*[...] After watching this film again the other day I agree that Jack La Rue does deserve mention. I omitted him when first putting my list together, thinking that his intimidating looks and demeanor were used incredibly effectively, but did not necessarily equal a great performance. That was a silly technicality on my part; and not entirely true, either. He was awesome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregoryPeckfan Posted March 6, 2016 I'd love to take part in the decade round-up as Bogie suggested after 1939, but I didn't keep my lists, and I'm not sure I would remember best supporting categories. Oh, well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thread is so popular that if I don't start soon, it could be forever and a day before I find all of them. Thanks for the logic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
