Without a doubt this movie is outstanding. It is hilarious, entertaining and musical. The black and white adds to the greatness. I highly recommend this movie.

3.A Midsummer Night's Dream starring: James Cagney, Dick Powell, Ian Hunter, Verree Teasdale, Hobart Cavanaugh directed by: Max Reinhardt, William Dieterle July 28, 1998

Now I know why this movie failed in the theaters. First of all - Shakespeare's plays with their Elizabethan English are too hard to understand by semi literate American audiences, especially of the 1930's. Second of all, there were way too many special effects, music, and dance numbers right out of Vaudeville. Thirdly, some of the fairies looked like something out of a nightmare of Dante's Inferno, appearing quite grotesque. Fourth, the adults and children were so scantily clad I imagine the Catholic Church and other churches had fits when it was released. Fifth and finally, there was not enough of the Bard for the play to make sense. It came off as Shakespeare collides with Ziegfeld's follies. The acting to say the least was over done, exaggerated, and hammy at best. To borrow a title from another Shakespeare ... Read More

A pleasant, well written story. Walter Connolly and Ginger Rogers are in need of a change. Together they push buttons, twist knobs and make it happen. I'd buy it if it were'nt so rare.

8.Skyscraper Souls starring: Warren William, Maureen O'Sullivan, Gregory Ratoff, Anita Page, Verree Teasdale directed by: Edgar Selwyn September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $49.00
I came across this film both because I have been watching a lot of early talkie films and because many people swear it is better than Grand Hotel, a better known classic. While it is certainly well done for a film of this vintage (released July 1932), I did not think it quite matched the level of sophistication of either Grand Hotel or a later film from the same year, Ernst Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise. And it certainly doesn't match up for star power. While it deals frankly with topics like marital infidelity, it also lacks the raciness of other pre-code films like Red Headed Woman or Three on a Match. That said, this is still a must see for fans of early cinema. Warren William, forgotten today but a major star of early talkie cinema, gives a fascinating performance as a scheming bank executive; he reminded me of a lot of people ... Read More
