A district attorney and a reporter try to find the killer of a D.A. who uncovered a massive stock fraud.
Good cast, story, film production and clarity. Thank you once again for the enjoyment you give.
Very good movie,excellent dialogue and acting.
Brilliant movie.I enjoyed it very much.
Pat O' Brien had such swag, and loved the camera effects/transitions ;-)
Ha. I know, I was just thnking the same thing .My friend in Canada said Irish and Scottish men have a lot of soul.
That transition was called a "wipe."
"who's gonna take the rap this time?"
"The public, as usual". I can heartily laugh at that line.
Louis Calhearn was just about my favorite classic actor and I am familiar with all from the 20s, 30s, ect...
He enhanced every film he was in. And his work holds up over time.
John St. Polis was in about 130 films..
Occasionally a good guy ...but...
usually not.
Pat O'Brien! Great actor!
Smooth and easy going as ever there was.
Awww 777 likes ♥️♥️♥️ thank you for these amazing movies- so grateful to you for sharing!
This film reunited Pat O'Brien and Mary Brian, who were in the original "The Front Page" (1931) only this time they were not the romantic couple but O'Brien played the same kind of clever, hard boiled reporter. A role that suited him well.
Mary Brian was engaged to Archibald
Leach for a while....no marriage
At 14:07 we see posters for The Vampire Bat w Fay Wray ANOTHER Majestic (like this) picture issued in 1933. Talk about an early example of product placement!

A very interesting,thought-provoking movie,rather much of a " precursor" to the present time. Very well acted by all the good actors,especially,Hamilton,O' Brien,Brent,Nash,Calhearn.
The coroner; (Whiskey on breath) Please tell me how does a DEAD man have a breath?? Yeah you be right Very interesting.
@@johnjones5954 ... Could be he just smelled of whiskey ??
J. Carroll Naish had a radio show called Life With Luigi. I listen to Satellite radio on channel 148. They play this radio program often. It's really a good show
Naish also had a memorable performance as Gen. Sheridan in a John Wayne movie, and an award-winning performance in Bogart's "Sahara". He was another "Lon Chaney Sr." in his many roles.
Life before fast food, convenience, and the fat and degeneracy that took us over. Utterly sad what we have become.
You need some history lessons.
@@653j521 I am a history lesson small minded one.
Oink- oinks
1933 Racism Lynching and other forms of Black Subjugation! No thanks to turning back the clock! We are where we are today because of 1933 and before and after
Two actors in this film have roles in two live action Batman productions. Neil Hamilton was Commissioner Gordon in the 1966 Batman television show. I. Carol Nash was the sinister Dr. Daka in the 1942 Columbia Batman 15 chapter serial.
And tvs Charlie Chan.
Neil Hamilton at his finest. Embezzling corporates arrange the murder of the d.a. who is onto them and they stage an impropriety. A reporter friend unearths the details of the murder exonerating the d.a.
I have to watch these movies several times to understand who’s who and who’s that.
Well the plot is as fresh as tommorows headlines folks! #unitedshades #goodwillwin ♡♡♡
What a beautiful puzzle! Nothing like the rubish of nowadays.
Great film and acting
Rained thru the whole movie. Must be one of those California storms (like the one that kept Donald Duck from playing golf).
This was the kind of movie that resulted in the establishment of the Hollywood Production Code. Tame by our contemporary standards, folks back then were offended by films such as this that showed illicit love affairs (remember, she's a married woman but fooling around with TWO guys), suicide, assorted murders, attempted murders, business corruption, etc.
aadamtx.........sounds like real life back and today. In other words, nothing has really changed.
The Code said if the woman was immoral, she had to be shown suffering for it at the end, so the audience didn't think immorality was fun. Too many people, apparently, thought this was glamorous and exciting and wanted to try it.
@@653j521 Coincidentally, about an hour ago I finished watching the American Masters documentary on Mae West. Her films among others were instrumental in creation of the Code. Although the films were popular, some folks complained that too many women and especially children were imitating her. The Catholic Legion of Decency, founded in 1934, was instrumental in getting the Code in place (Joseph Breen, the Code's director, was a strict Roman Catholic).
Thank You For Sharing 😊
What did Hollywood have against D-cent sized cups and well-endowed actresses? Thank Heaven for opening producers' eyes and giving us Jane Russell, Anita Ekberg, Joanne Dru, Marilyn, Sophia Loren, Susan Sarandon....
Ideals of 'beauty' change with the times.
You forgot about Cardi B. We’ve come along way WAP WAP

The style in the 20s was youthful, not maternal.
Being skinny and not wearing underwear was the style in society at thattime.
Thanks PizzaFlix, people remember the golden age of Hollywood, but there was a lot not so golden.
Yes, as for the not so golden : Hollywood was boycotting well-endowed actresses. Thank Heaven for opening producers' eyes and giving us Jane Russell, Anita Ekberg, Joanne Dru, Marilyn, Sophia Loren...
@@mikedaniels3009 These are pre-code films. Back then, concentration was more on vocal ability than physical aesthetics due to the introduction of sound in 1929. Actors lost work based on not how they looked, but how they sounded. Many actors came from the theater, where projection and ability were key. Also, a lot of these films weren't done in Hollywood. New Jersey and New York film studios played significant roles back then as well.
I’d take it over today’s ‘woke’ confident intolerant racists running the show today. We thought racism and misogamy was bad then. There a whole new generation of kids being taught to only see race and sex. Pathetic.

He was born around here, just north of Boston, in Lynn MA, in 1899. As we say "Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin, you'll never come out the way you went in".
My brother was born in Lynn, 1960. I was born in Arlington. Both, Mass.

01:05:40 - a 120MPH speedometer in 1933.
It must be one of those 12 or 16 cylinder jobs or a supercharged 8. Leno drives his Duesenbergs at 95 in second gear.
Speed kills

Thar was a Packard. It, and others, would easily do 120 mph. It was the roads you had to worry about. The hydraulic brakes did the job. You just had to start braking earlier.
I really enjoyed this!!
A good 🎥in a fine clear print 😀
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you!
So THAT'S how the rich have gotten richer and continue to do so today! Nice to see justice catch up to the guilty -- either by law or a powerful locomotive. Good film.

Wonderfull i enjoyed every mibute of it. I love the sayings they had in those days...little boy says goody - goody. God bless u all in covid times.

"chiseled and gouged and swindled"
Well, there goes Dad. Poor kid. Sooooo much smoking. Every body was doing it, I guess. It's amazing how everybody knows everybody's number off the top of his or her head.
Smoking? Man, where did I put my lighter? Just kidding, I know right where it is.
I know all of my friends/family's numbers.
I got my first cell phone about a year ago.
Ask me in another year.
Eh?
I can remember the days before mobiles you actually had to memorise important phone numbers. It's just what you had to do.
Memory. I'm four-score years now and remember the phone numbers of my parents, high school friends , my office in the middle sixties, my favorite bar...all before we had cell phones. et al
A truly great movie. Wish all the crackling in background wasn't there
You can sure tell this is pre-code the way they're throwing 4-letter words around.
The world is gone mad ( smile )

If you look closely, very very closely over the actors shoulder by the window, that’s a 1922 model FrankArt art deco ashtray today worth qp00 dollars. 1:36
Qp00??
Hey Google, filter out background noise. Thanks.
Are they smoking pot besides drinking at 51:20?
If so, it was legal in 1933.
All cigarettes came without filters then. So many people rolled their own tobacco. Pot smoking made you crazy up until the late 1960s. Only drug fiends smoke them until then. 😂

Why is there the sound of bacon frying all throughout this film? Or is it popcorn, or a rain shower, or a log fire? Whatever it is, the audio is horrible. And the left channel is twice the volume of the right.
Aged film.
If you want better quality audio, purchase a remastered version and don't watch uploads on UA-cam - very simple imo 🤷♀️ It's free and available and you complain about quality like it's a right or something....
The sound of culinary delight.
They used the h--- word, for shame! LOL
Eh?
The world gone mad is a crime Drama and about all of the classic movies there is no sex and no cursing.
Ed
Yet, it was THE film that started the decency codes. It may have not been blatant, but it was filled with underlying degenerate behavior of the time. Normal behavior for today.
😂😂😂The auto-generated English caption at 14:16 🤣🤣🤣
33:46...enters twins. And the duplicity and confusing behavior of the lead. Head spins..
That title is a 2017 title because that is what we are living in now
Kudos to Edward T Lowe.
Do mean Edmond?
So convenient that both attorney generals were stupid enough to fall for the traps that common sense tells you not to go there. You just have to overlook that.
34,600$ in 1933 thats alot of money back than
$350.00 in rent was as well. I paid $150.00 a month for a large two bedroom house in Malibu in the early 1970s.
It's Comissioner Gordon 😀
Just a very minor correction, it was Naish, not Nash, though he pronounced it like Nash
Tvs Charlie Chan.
@@keithharvey7230 ...the worst Chan imitator
I'e ever seen
what does pre-code Hollywood mean
There was a period from the end of the silent era to 1st July 1934 where the production code (censorship) was not fully enforced. Things got by the censors that from July 34 would not be allowed. There more sex, more violence, more innuendo, drug references sex outside marriage and generally more realism. There were much stronger roles for women too. There were even a few films that features lynchings. This openness disappeared once the code officially came into force.
Such a poor print, it sounds like it’s raining in every scene. ☹️
I thought it sounded like a log fire. (crackling )
Frying bacon? Whatever it is, the audio is horrible. And the left channel is twice the volume of the right.
Not here. They must have repaired it.
4:20 HEY!!! You'll go blind doing that!!!!
He gave alpha beta gamma the night off. Must be all Greek to him!
The janitor is a phoney; he looks like a college professor or even a scientist. Didn't any body in the production or the CASTING of the movie noticed this?
Was that bacon frying in the background all through the movie? Anyone else notice that? I got over it and made it through the entire movie. A real pip!
Sounds like a brush on a hard surface.
A slightly delayed reply - there are several videos like this Bacon Bits that have normal versions online. Pizza Fix did not do this, but somebody took those videos and overlaid the sound effect - it has a repeating pattern. Was it an attempt to avoid copyright? I know Pizza Fix didn’t do it because I found this corrupted version uploaded several years earlier.
Save the bacon grease. It has lots of uses
Nice
4:30 LOL

As usual, Pat O"Brian irritates me. His rendering of the persona here is from his youthful views of vaudeville.
