A busload of passengers gets stranded in a snowstorm and take refuge in an abandoned church, where they run into a mysterious man who may be on the run from the law!
Thank you for this, I love Carole Lombard and have seen all her movies. I found the scene with William Boyd and Carole embracing and making their plans while the policeman sang, particularly touching and well acted. These early talkies were always a little awkward as the studios as well as the actors were trying to quickly adjust to what was essentially an entirely new medium. It wasn't just that sound was added, it was a completely different way of acting, directing, moving, filming, etc. Some actors adjusted and some never did. Carole moved effortlessly into sound pictures with her natural acting style and her wonderful deep voice that projected well. What a treasure she was.
When I got my very first VCR, around 1985, this was the first movie I ever taped and watched on it. It seemed pretty old even then, even though it was only 56 years old, about the same age as the "Great Escape" is now. It was being shown on WNBC, channel 4 in NYC as their 2AM movie, and I wanted to check if I set the timer right. I still have the tape and should look at it to see how it's stood up over the years. And also to see the mid-1980's late night cheap local commercials.
I love this old drama ! It has such great quality for 1929 ! Thank you for Keeping These wonderful dramas Alive !
20 years old Carole Lombard. She would be 112 now! Thank you for the movie.

Sheriff asks: “What are you two doing, playing Post Office?”
Criminal says: “Well if we were, they’d be no letter for you.”
😂😂😂🧐🤣Love these old movies and their sly satire😂🤣😂🎊Thank you for uploading ❣️💝💖❤️🥰
Carole Lombard died on Mount Potosi here in Las Vegas.
Thank you I haven’t seen this good old classic in a few years ! And I’m enjoying it like the first time ! God Bless ❤️🇨🇦🙏
Carole Lombard was a great actress. Here she was a con. Then she was a comedic actress then a dramatic actress before she was killed in a plane crash in 1942. Her and Clark Gable were in some movies in the early 1930's. They were married in 1939. Favorite Carole Lombard Movie: Nothing Sacred 1937 with Fredric March.
Was said she was always his deepest love! 🌹 She has a number of favorites with me! Very talented, & her humor cracks me up!
That was so funny she comes of the frozen water with her shoes on ! LOL
They look like the old style that had straps buckled up the ankle! They can be quite snug, & don't come off without unbuckling!
Pretty good print, for a movie 91 years old.
interesting . in some of theearly sound films the talking is actually more realistic than in later movies people interrupt each other or talk at the same time. I like the adlibs for the outside scenes , that had to be recorded later, too.
I love Caroles one liners !!
She looked super hot in this movie, especially in that funky black hat. Never seen her this early . Thanks!
You just walked a mile through a blizzard and forget to close the door?
Suspension of disbelief has always been a key rule of screenwriting.
In thee ancient flicks, they seem charming; new ones, merely insulting
RIGHT! DON'T YOU STILL FEEL THAT FREEZING BITING WIND! Too funny! My brother's have done that in a blizzard! They learned not to leave their coats or shoes laying around though, especially in winter! My step mom would put them outside!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I never laughed so hard as when I saw my step brother come in before school with his coat & shoes frozen solid, with ice cycles😂🤣😂👌!
Leave it to 1929 filmmakers to have two women play in snow and ice with high heels on wearing skirts and not shivering much.
Diane Ellis -- the kid -- who falls through the ice at one point died one year later in India. She recently married, went to India and contracted a fatal infection. She was 20 years old. A very attractive actress.
Josiah Zuro, who wrote and conducted the film's score (whatever there was of it), also died the following year in an auto accident in La Jolla, California, at the age of 52.
Wow, life! That's so sad ,Makes This movie pale in comparison to Diane's and Josiah's realities ..I'll hold this Haunting movie in my heart yet Moore ; !!
Good little movie!!!
I missed the 'high voltage' part, must've dozed off! Carol sure was a honey...a real wild child 💖 🇨🇦
Only 10 miles to the Ranger station in high heel shoes. :-)
And bare legs/"too" short skirt! Kinda unbelievable but ... women did what they were told!
Fall thru the ice...thank the Lord, her high=heel shoes didn't come off. They must really be good shoes, as they didn't come off walking that mile(s) thru the snow from the bus. Thanks Hop-a-Long. Only thing I ever won was at a Hop-a-Long Cassidy movie; I won a football in a raffle when I was 6 years old.
Fun memory! 👌
Thank you for the young Carole Lombard in High Voltage, co-starring William (Hopalong Cassidy) Boyd. The chemistry between those two wasn't bad at all. And, yes, the hemlines were shorter in '29, only to drop as did the stock market later that year. And it was a pre-code film and early talkie.
Although I've heard of Carole Lombardi in my 60 years... yesterday was the 1st time I'd seen any of her films. Being new to watching b&w's.
The name of the flic
was " The Sins Of
Norma Moran". What a good film! I love this actress. And she's gorGEous. Those eyes + lashes are dreamy.
Check her out in comedies.. My hubby loves her w William Powell..me too!
You should watch My Man Godfrey! It is a classic and funny as can be.
You have to see her with William Powell! Hilarious 😂 ❤🌹👌 Love them both! She was a lovely, FUNNY great actress that died too soon, the love of Clark Gables life! He was devastated when she died in a plane crash, & he aged much in appearance after, understandably!
@@marywagner9927 1 of my favorites & try to watch often! The mother is hilarious, Carole is over the top 😂!❤👌❤🌹 Just love her!
//// I loved this movie,a real ripping yarn Carole Lombard steals the show,although a teenage Diane Ellis puts in a strong performance,what a shame that she died aged 20,her remains lie in her husbands family plot in England.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you. 🍕
They did not bother to close the bus dioor after leaving the bus! - JZ.
I was looking at that & seeing the snow drift I know would be inside that bus when they come back! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Anything with William Boyd is a Turkey... I came here to see the great Owen Moore. I bet we all agree the most enjoyable movie's were the first two years of sound.
Jett Rink Much better than what Hollywood produced in the last 20+ years!
Bill Boyd is pretty decent in this one.
Owen Moore !!!:) STAR!!! Pulls Entirety of movie single handedly Not Supporting actor (supporters Are the Stars anyway), Bill Boyd's good its not easy to do the lead role wo smothering the rest -so I'm favoring this entire movie n actors ,LOVE OWEN'S hauntingly beautiful SONG!!!"Calling me back to you" I think its called.. 91+ yr old BUT This Is an A+ Movie!!( Hollywont Eat Your Heart Out since 1950 you've been a depressed mess ) !!
@@Magnetron33 I thought this fell under the terrific pre-codes.
@@miriwood2819 It is pre
You might notice in the screen credits that Carole is spelled without the "E" Carol.. Due to a typo error she liked the E & changed it later.
Ca role any actress can feel a lucky charm about that typo ;) as am sure Carole did! I live near the Cada Zan on the Ringling estate: its the purported honeymoon spot of her and Clark Gable's, I may be mistaking ( Bogie and BaCall were at Louis Bromfield's double staircase I think home in Ohio) if am not switching the couples' haunts. Regarding John Ringling's mansion on Sarasota Bay, iv been in "their room" several lightings, timings of year, and seasons of the enviable bay views.. Two rooms actually, a huge dark wood n emerald decored one and the light and lavender one,which I can see her easily there -nearly do in my mind/rightly in-spirit. :) Clark the emerald mahogany,surely, they stayed together both rooms all night !surely did?.. Historians anyways, or, we hopeful romantics :)
Speaking of misspellings: A young singer named Dianne Warrick had a first record made.
The person or people printing the label got BOTH the first and last names wrong...and she kept :
Dionne Warwick.
One of the earliest (with sound) ..... it's good though...in fact the talent & story is as good as anything out of Hollywood in the last 40 yrs....
That's EXACTLY my Experience too!!(Its un-aged ITS SUPERIOR TO TODAY'S synthetic awful Everything movieS !!! From the eye hurting hurling whatever camera dynamics to numbdumb lines to the decades now same synthetic sound score.. Music in modern movies has Not changed since 1975 StarWars/SuperMan synthesizer n orchestra mashups mix the same two melodies repeated it just HASNT UPDATED ..AND HERE THEY SING LIKE NO OTHER FILM AS ITS MEANT TO BE!!;) BLESS OWEN MOORE "CALLING ME BACK TO YOU"!!:)
Originally released in June 1929.
I dunno what UA-cam did but they cut all the movies down to 1 1/2 hours. It's really disappointing. So much so it's not worth watching. Case in point, A FAREWELL TO ARMS.
Thank you for the great old movie upload .
I have watched a few 2 hour movies & 3 hour documentaries on here though!
고전찬미 감사합니다
William “Hopalong Cassidy” Boyd saves the kid.
It's like an updated version of the Donner Party story.
Mr & Mrs. Donner had only one wagon. The REEDs were all related and in several wagons.
Several of them "feasted" on their relatives Mrs. Donner received most of the blame because she took the first bite....unfair.
@@robertwalker5521 The whole story is barbaric & disgusting! I would starve before I would eat human flesh! And I well know hunger is very painful, have experienced it!
This is the original Hateful 8
thanks Pizza.
Carole Lombard sure had a pair of handsome legs :)
the director liked them for sure, not that difficult to see ;)
Pervert.
Legs. Right. Legs. A great pair. Of legs.
It was a good movie but not what I anticipated. I rate it an 8.
YUK!

Haha
I'm a Carole Lombard fan but this thing is a turkey. The set design was horrible with a schoolhouse on two levels and humongous doors and windows. The script was written by a 12 year old. Compared to a Chaplin film of the same era this is directed by a dolt. The only saving grace is Carole Lombard's beauty. and charisma. If you want to see a great Lombard film check out "Nothing Sacred".
Ok, its clunky, ya it is clunky, up in was then yes built far from anywhere in reality it would be .. I was raised rural north USA in farm country on around old family/s lands untouched..my gma's lifelong home had been built in 1880 (still being lived in!) ..I realize if back in 1929 easily a log structure would hold up 80yrs up there then therefore 1850s its indeed correct and Wht proper for filming. I hardly Adjusted to this film, its correct if you keep up with Them..why heck would you 'Expect' from near 100yrs ago to supply to your later 20th/21st Century cage-raised social-engineering preprogrammed soft-where'd-gone educated-idiots' of today's world's mindset-in-concrete :/ ?! Whew! Sigh! No its not just you, its too many Not Trying ,when it Is easy to watch these If you're getting More into your eyes than gaming.. You'll get bored w graphics eventually and learn your life's other paths and meanings hopefully before die a wasted one I'm pretty certain you'll be alright ..you got here and thus you are. Sorry , was a rant for those not willing to understand what can't be changed ;)
It was made clear in the dialogue that the building was a church, not a schoolhouse, which explains the large windows and doors, the two levels, the organ, and the pictures of Jesus on the walls (look closely in the background during the scenes inside). When first noticing the building from a distance, the characters did refer to it as "a schoolhouse," but then added "or a church" . . . they just couldn't tell which from far away. Once they got there, though, they consistently referred to it as a church; in fact, the man they found there made a joke about not realizing it was Sunday and "Why the congregation?" Anyway, the set design is just right for a depiction of a small, abandoned rural church, probably supposed to have been built in the mid to late 1800's.
Ok so it’s a two story church. It’s still a turkey.

Nothing’s Sacred is good, but My Man Godfrey is better!! Or Made for Each Other.
I love Caroles one liners !!
