She Done Him Wrong

Interesting to see Grant in such a young role. It could have used a bit more of his wit.

The Sign of the Cross (1932)

I wanted to check this out after it was featured in an episode of "American Horror Story" (Season 2)

Bombshell (1933)

Director: Victor Fleming
His 33rd movie
My 5th movie watched from the director

One of Jean Harlow's best, apparently an accurate portrayal of her own life. It's got a great sense of 1930s humor and her supporting cast helps to keep it moving. The version I saw seemed a little rough, so I'm not sure if that's age or it just wasn't shot very well. The sound wasn't great either.

Ecstasy (1933)

Hedy Lamar is gorgeous and the cinematography is well done, with a poetic story that still leaves me wanting more.

Stehako's rating:

6.6

The Power and the Glory

Some consider this to be a heavy influence on the story of 'Citizen Kane' but it is far less impressive and intriguing. It still has plenty of nice moments and storytelling. What is certainly true is that it actually had a mild influence on Martin Scorsese; and, strangely enough, you can see how that's possible.

Dinner at Eight

A week full of 'terrible' things that can happen to the leisure class. Things like people canceling dinner plans is the worst thing that can happen to someone.

John Barrymore pulls off, perhaps, his best performance is a has-been silent-era star and the rest of the cast is good fun.

42nd Street (1933)

Director: Lloyd Bacon
His 33rd movie
My 3rd movie watched from the director

The acting in this one, compared to others of its kind, was notably annoying. The story wasn't bad and the dance numbers are iconic. More than any other Busby Berkley movie this one was about legs. Legs legs legs.
