Who could take great concert performances, cut them brutally, and give us bloated intoxicated narcissists and fraudulent stories? Marty Scorsese trying to out-Dylan Dylan. Awful.

The Naughty Flirt
(1930)
One of the Greatest Pre Code Movies
24 June 2018
This is what precise means: fun, silly, a touch naughty and a happy ending for all. What's not to like about a rich, adorable heiress and a villain dueling a good guy for her heart?
Alice White will be readily recognizable to fans of the Bugs Bunny cartoons. With her big eyes, cute smile and knowing 'wise guy' persona, the light hearted comedy is silly and it is fun. It's for those who love these old non PC movies. Alice White's batting of eye lashes is enough to melt any heart.
Romance in Manhattan
(1934)
Fun Touching Movie

My family immigrated at a time when America was the land of opportunity. The "Protestant Work Ethic" (they were Roman Catholic) was that any work that provided for one's Family was "holy" or "honorable." Anyone could work hard and dream big. This sustained them in the Great Depression where self sacrifice and American rugged individualism triumphed. This movie, like so many of the classics, remind us of what a great country America was, in an era of hard times. The success story of love and hard work is touching in spite of its overuse. This movie works.
The immigrants came to work and assimilate. They took the oath of citizenship, eschewed welfare and prevailed. The setting of the underdog works here.
Another feel good oldie to enjoy!

Touching Drama

These non politically correct movies are the most enjoyable. Although his comedy is best, Robert Monty's drama skills are put to good use in this romantic drama. Snobby family versus down-to-earth daughter in law is predictable but it still works.
The Golden Arrow
(1936)
Fun Predictable
12 April 2018
Heiress fins in the 30's are most always interesting and entertaining. The message is the same: rich bsd, poor good. He, it works. Bette Davis was a versatile actress who could pull off anything. George Brent made a good partner. 1929-1939 produced the most enjoyable films over other decades.
It's pathetic that TCM feels the need to apologize for non PC movies. Soon, movies that display human nature accurately may be banned.
Enjoy them while you can. This is a fun one.
