The Crime Patrol (1936)
Not that bad for a low budget 1936 film.
If you don't go into this expecting a Warners B you may actually enjoy this tale. The hero plays a James Cagney character but without Cagney's charisma. But how many actors had that anyway. The boxing is terrible but that's besides the point. The actors seem to be giving it their best shot, Snub Pollard being the only one I recognized. As I watched the movie I did wonder where else I may have seen the other actors. Pretty sure it was filmed in downtown LA, the gasometer looked familiar. The locations would definitely be of interest to a locations sleuth. The film doesn't do as bad job of depicting a slice of 1936. You could do a lot worse if, like me, you find you can't sleep at 2 AM.
My Three Sons: Polly's Secret Life (1971)
What were they thinking?
Yeah, Polly's Secret Life as a hooker! So they take the cutest girl on TV at the time, tart her up and make it look like a good thing? I'm with Uncle Charlie, Polly should get her money back! And that's another thing; supposedly Chip and Polly are struggling to make ends meet but Polly goes and enrolls in charm school. And cuts Geology class to boot! Ridiculous episode. And somebody please tell Ernie to shut up with his psychiatry.
