Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Stars: H.B. Warner, Lila Lee, Beryl Mercer
Director: Albert Ray
After young doctor marries the daughter of the family gardener, his seemingly sweet and innocent wife soon reveals her true colors and sets off a chain-reaction of tragic events. Loosely inspired by the novel Madame Bovary transported to Rye, New York circa 1930's.
Hard to believe this is nearly 100 years old. All the actors have long gone. Love these old movies. So thankful they are being preserved. Thanks for sharing!
The wallpapers had poison it is said ☠️
@@RB-sm3eu That was in the 19th century- scheele green wallpaper that had arsenic in it.
Arsenic is naturally present in water that people drink daily with no ill effects. They become immune to a small amount. Cyanide is more dangerous. You will find cyanide in bitter almonds used to make almond extract. Bitter almonds must be heat treated to be safe enough for extracts used in baking, etc. Also in the seeds of some common fruits such as apples and plums. My Mom and I ate the peeled seeds regularly. Again, no ill effects.
Yes, isn’t it just TOO wonderful!?! Thank you from me, too! 🕊❤️🙏💜✝️✡️🙋♀️🌹

Oh my God!
I've become hooked on these pre-code films. Some of them are quite good!
Same here, some unique and surprisingly high quality.
And one might say that the subject matter is "advanced" for the 1930s. But I suppose that was at least partly the reason for the Hayes (decency) Code.
FOESHOW

Yeah I watched
Gangs of New York 1938, it was pretty good
@@albertpringle4918 Say what?
What a great old classic ! Thank you for keeping them alive in sharing them ! God Bless you and your family .❤️🙏🇨🇦
The Silver screen is like a warm hug.
As a kid in the 1950’s our doctor made house calls. Dr. Clements was his name, a very gentle nice man.
What a beautiful experience & memory! Gracias for sharing. "ISA"
Great film! Thank you. Love these pre-code films.
"...you want me to make love like they do in cheap books?" Precode was no joke
This was very well written, directed and acted. Thank you!
Lisle wasn't in the last 20 minutes, or so. Seemed a bit odd.
A very enjoyable old classic and what fabulous outfits! I loved the car chase as those heavy vehicles must have been very difficult to manoeuvre with no power steering! Thank you for uploading.
My first car was a 1953 Mercury with no power steering or brakes or power anything else. I bought it in 1964. Driving it was good exercise and fun!
Wow l didn't think about that. I owned at least 3 different 64 Chevy's but they all had power steering. I did however try to drive a car my sister was going to buy back to the dealership. Man was that ever a tug of war.
This movie made so many years ago, yet, it was so real it could have been filmed a year ago. So powerful that young girl's part., It just made me cry for her and for the second girl too. I hope the young girls of 2022 will see this movie
The dr giviing the patient a smoke and even deciding to smoke with thr patient.........love it!!!
THE ACTING HERE IN THE FIRST TEN MINUTES BLOWS AWAY THE CRAP OF TODAY -immortailized in celluloid ------EVERYONE OF THESE FILMS THE ACTORS GAVe IT 110% AS IF IT WAS THEir last film or chance ..i also think the scriptwriters were levels above todays writers they simply had a more immense vocabulary back then garnered from all the reading people did back then
It's not as though anything prevents one from reading today; these were the pre "fluoride in the water" days stateside.
Thank you for this beautiful film. Hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪
Hi Mary, thanks for hugs and for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕🍕🍕
You just cannot know how much this channel helps. I love these movies. What a time, what an era...
Collecting some for surgery this Friday and I hope you don't mind that I liked a few before seeing them. I know I will, but trying to get everything ready, lol.
So all I have to do is watch and heal...
Appreciate your uploads. Wishing you a lovely rest of the week and weekend...
Thank you...

Ruby, good luck on your surgery 😉😉😉 just subscribed. Love old movies. Can't wait to feast on all these oldie Goldie's

Why thank you Mr Kelly, I appreciate the asking. My surgery went surprisingly well. Open heart surgery and all the movies I picked did help indeed. I hope you have a most excellent week and Namaste...

Get well soon ruby
The daughter was strong and loving. Her heart was one of a kind. Thanks for the great movie.
I love the wallpapered walls back then. We always wallpapered our houses back then. It's so cozy and romantic with the fireplace and candle light.💕
Patricia, My guess is that wallpaper fell out of favor because of its difficulty of application. Much harder to apply than paint, cannot really be repaired, and almost impossible to remove cleanly.
I love the 30s wallpapers also. I am going to get my sitting room and bedroom papered 30s style in the near future. I hate plain white walls- cold looking and boring.
@@mabel8179 I too love Wallpaper. White or plain painting is depressing. Wallpaper is like bring the outside inside. Not like being in a box. Also, like beautiful antiques. Even in the 60's-70's had pretty artificial flowers sitting around. Don't see that anymore either. The Dresses are prettier than what is worn at the OCARS today.
@@devong7124 I agree with you about white walls! I can't wait to be able to get my walls papered! I like vintage and antique things too.
I rent an apartment, and can't use wallpaper. So I found some really nice fabrics, took a staple gun and transformed a couple of rooms! My favorite is in the bedroom, a pale green damask with a dark green design of leaves and vines. So relaxing.
This was very, very good. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of these older films are in the "pretty good" range. This one was very good. Very good actors all around. The blonde (Sheila Compton) was excellent. Thank you for ANOTHER evening's entertainment!
Her name was Joyce Compton original they may have been different
She's more of a live wire in " MURDER WITH PICTURES"
Some people on here keep saying that the actors of that era were more classy than they are now. Well they did dress a lot better. However, most of them married several times, had affairs and had drink problems. There was also something know as the casting couch. There were a lot of scandals in Hollywood back in the day.
Bravo!
Sounds like today! Weinstein. Cosby. Countless others men in power using younger less powerful girls and women.
Hello!!!! Just because this movie was filmed decades ago all the problems of today were present back then. Drugs. Affairs. Multi-marriages.
As studios got more powerful they covered up the big messes. Arrests. Abortions. Manslaughter. Epic drunken binges.
Yes, you're right.
Times change, people don't.
Old film buff here, especially pre-code! Thank for presentations!
Nothing better!! I’ve been binge watching movies from the 20s thru the 40s. I’ve become very fond of Bette Davis, from one of her first roles in ‘the Bad Sister”. This movie looks great, which I’m watching now. I just ❤ these movies!!
I love those feminine, floaty dresses that flattered every body type
Yes, gorgeous. You don't see those anymore. Tight skinny pants today. Ugly and boring!
I've started wearing frocks
No. They most certainly DID NOT flatter heavier girls 🙄
Back when men were men and women were women and both sides liked it like that. Today in this Politically Correct world there are about 38 different genders and men and women are not part of that 38.
Those dresses were very form-fitting. They were styled for very slim women that had small hips and bust.
The story is realistic and the acting excellent.
I am a huge Madame Bovary fan and this film had many similarities. Excellent film. Thank you. 🌸
How and where does she resemble Madame Bovary, who married an older, unsuccessful small town country doctor (the operation on the club foot) ? Madame Bovary wanted more out of life. This woman, the gardeners' daughter, is surrounded by an arrogant and rude community.
I loved this movie! The old clothes, cars, etc. Thanks!🌈🌈🌈
Love this one! Thank youl
A drama. Two excellent camera shots. The framing of Warner thru the limo window was fabulous work. For the technology level of this time, the film was excellent. The actors did their personas well. This scenario, Madame Bovary, was used over and over in films.
Thank you .. Priceless Moments of Classics!
Thank you for a great movie, worth seeing again.
This movie was very slow, and I didn't see any similarities between this and Madame Bovary-except for the cigarette case and the debts. But it was meant to be a drama about morality and it worked on that level. Thanks for uploading.
H.B.Warner was Oscar nominated for his performance as Chang in Lost Horizon 1937.
Very loosely based-on. How many will take the trouble to read that wonderful novel? It is better than 99.9% of what is written today.
I read the novel many years ago. I agree to, "very loosely based on" .
I just love the old movies The actors and actresses were so ciassy back then.
Just compare today's rubbish with Irene Dunne,Cary Grant,Ginger Rogers,Joan Blondell and William Powell!!!
I JUST LOVE THESE OLD MOVIES FOR THE BEAUTIFUL OLD CARS THEY HAD, WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO DRIVE ONE.
I enjoy these for the women's fashions and the furniture. But wow, those cars were works of art.
They also had the clothes. Ya could dress up and go for a drive!
99.99% of Americans today would have no idea how to start much less drive one of those.
I enjoy looking at the kitchen's and the clothes.
Compared to today's cars, they are difficult. No automatic anything!
Fascinating listening to this soundtrack which is very primative with changes in sound for each picture edit. I guess mixing was not common yet. The sound quality and the transfer are great.
The visual was far ahead of sound until the late 30s ( Gone With The Wind, Wizard Of Oz, etc)
Fine drama with outstanding cast. Sheila was quite the player but dumb as a rock. Then again, Lyle Talbot, clueless Lyle Talbot, married within his intellect, you might say. I mean, he didn't have a clue, even after she told him he couldn't make proper love to her.
Watch H.B. Warner in another fine movie: "5 Star Final," starring Eddie G. Terrific movie. I guarantee you'll like it.
Thanks Pizza!
The mother's insult just inside minute 39 cracked me up laughing. Wow! Great stuff !
Glad you left a comment on that.
How was saying "Bulbs" an insult?
@@im1who84u - Sarcastim = Figure it out : What do older men have that is bulbous for a young girl ? He being interested in her flower... the hall mark of precode was all sorts of moral liberality.
@@marksuits4379 Please excuse my ignorance and thank you for your efforts, but I am still not getting why saying the world "Bulbs" was such an insult that she was asked to leave the table.
There must be some sort of sixual innuendo in there that I am just not getting.
@@im1who84u Well "im1who 84u", Nothing to excuse. Maybe was wrong … but "bulb" struck me as period ironic innuendo to bleakly hint at (thus mean) "bluge" : as in a man's pants : thus in - sin - u - ation about vulgar hanky-panky going on... thus moral critique, so not a complement. Anyway, no worries… perhaps my wording "insult" was inaccurate… but at first hearing, it did make me laugh… and that's all. Cheers my friend. Enjoy!
@@marksuits4379 Okay thanks.
If your suggestion is correct, that would be quite the insult. Especially for those times.
When I was trying to figure out why that was an insult, I was thinking maybe because she was so much younger and lower on the social ladder than him, it was being suggested she was a child, immature, and unable to talk about anything more intelligent than a lightbulb.
"Loosely" based on MADAME BOVARY is really stretching it - take a look at the Vincent Minnelli version, which is excellent. But Lila Lee was lovely, and it's always fun to see H.B. Warner.
I just adored watching H.B. Warner in any of his films. He was so debonair, such class, and his diction (I think back almost 100 years ago they called it elocution! See? Even that word sounds classier!).
I remember being so delighted and surprised when I saw his “cameo” with Gloria Swanson, Anna Q. Nilsson and Buster Keaton! It was really crazy to my sister (who’s NOT into old films at all!) when I got so excited at seeing them and flipped their names off so fast, you’d have thought they all just starred in a big Box Office draw that year! 😂😘♥️💕🙋♀️
Speaking of which, “Hollywood” will never be what it was beginning in the Silent Era and steaming blockbusters straight through the 40’s. I often think Hollywood just began to sleep a bit starting in the 60’s. Oh, of course there were the greats of that time......The Sound of Music, Dr. Zhivago, Cape Fear, The Graduate, etc......but something of that beautiful sparkle and aura which caused Hollywood to be called “Tinseltown” was almost gone. It always seemed to me that Our Marilyn took it with her when she was murdered.
So I just keep watching the “oldies” and allowing myself to wander through the pictures I’ve made up in my mind....like what huge stars’ dressing rooms (really small houses for many!), The love matches of the day ( such as Marian Davies and “Pops”), Tracy and Hepburn (I choose to believe they were both straight and much in love), the great Madame Stanwyck, who continued working well into what others call “the golden years”.....she was almost 60 yo when she STARTED working in The Big Valley and 80 yo when she starred in The Thornbirds.
They just don’t make ‘me like that anymore! And so I thank The Lord God for videotapes. 😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹🙏🕊✝️🙋♀️💕💜🕎
Some of the older films are not restored properly. This one is. Don't miss it!
Lila Lee played the role of Carmen in the 1922 Blood and Sand with Rudolph Valentino.
Thanks for another great, old movie.
once again thanks for the old movie.
HB Warner was a quality actor for many years, working mostly with Cecil B DeMille from the 20's through the 50's. He did have leads in this film and in DeMille's 1927 version of "King of Kings", but mostly is known for supporting roles.
You can see the "Code" beginning to take effect with this film: twin beds, not one kiss, no one seen changing clothes, etc. This film was released in 1932, and the Code became influential in 1930, with strict adherence taking hold in 1934. To call this "Pre-Code," is skating on the edge a bit.
This is pre-code. The producers of movies were reluctant to give up their freedom. In fact movies made a year before pre-code were not rereleased after the code. Several things in this would be dealt with much differently after the code. Suicide for instance, badies deserved their cumupance but by God not through suicide. Later only good people commited suicide to primarily save someone else.
Beautiful!
This movie was stirring for some reason, I liked it! I must admit I would have loved to know what was in the letter ✉ a real who done ✔ it. When I watch these old films I am always amazed at the level of opulence in clothing. Interior design
The film shows you what is in the letter.
Yes, it was SUCH a Stylish time, gorgeous, we'll never have all that again, all we can do is watch these beautiful films for a glimpse of the beauty & style x
I love these old movies & Thank You 😊
RANDOM FACT: Opening credits music was taken from Brahms' "Academic Festival Overture", significantly edited.
Heard that ! So after the opening credits rolled I was expecting a " Murder on the Campus"- type thing.
Honestly, not much has changed over the years/centuries.
A guy can't get mad about it.
He just has to know what the rules are and how to play the game.
Best not to get married and not to get anyone pregnant.
That would be a good strategy to start with and then go from there.
Thank You 😊
great movie, didn't know exactly where the story was going but thoroughly enjoyed it. thank you. was mr.r.valentino in this movie?
No, he was not.
He was long dead by then. He died in 1926
His ashes were in an ash tray, that's probably why you think you spotted him.
No, he was not.
THANK YOU I ENJOY WATCHING THIS OLD MOVIE GOOD MOVIE GOOD STORY
To me, of Human Bondage was REALLY PRE-CODE which by today's standards was extremely mild! Great movie from the Silver Screen. 😊
boomerang905 also, Three on a Match is a risqué’ pre-code.
@@machupikachu8349 I have heard of that but never seen so l will research. Thanks. 😊

To me "of human bondage" was heartbreaking, and I can't say it felt mild.
@@MissHellblazer poor choice of words on my part I guess because it was a psychologically and morally corrupt film.
I do NOT want to give anything away, but there is maturity in terms of years, and maturity in terms of outlook on life and understanding of reality/mental maturity. There is a huge difference. With mental maturity comes the understanding and acceptance of reality. When a person is able to accept reality, that person can have a happy and successful life.
I'd just call that wisdom
Gowns by "Alfreda" thanks sis
Thank you for this movie. Interesting plot.

Trust in God He Never Fails. The skills He Blesses people with. Some choose good and refuse evil. I personally enjoy old movies. You have to decent
I was just going to delete previous comment. I enjoy. Old movies. Just for entertaining purposes
I just love your Movie's!
Father figure was so classy!
Ya gotta see him in "Five Star Final," with Eddie G and Marian Marsh - among others. He plays Marian's father. He's great, but the whole cast was. 1932 movie.
@@kpflo123 Thank You so much! I definitely will!
There is a movie presently available on TCM, "Dodsworth" - 1936. It's Ruth Chatterton's number 1 accomplishment. She is so good in this, you'll hate her!@@milap.1616 (Sorry to bother you.)
@@kpflo123 Kevin, thank you for referring to Dodsworth movie! I just done watching it. I guess Ruth was very good in that movie, because I grew hating her. Well, not an actress but the character. 😊 Another surprise in that film was to discover Maria Uspenskaya, who played old baronesse. I did not know of her before. I'm Russian and also watch old Russian movies. So she was also one of those left to America after revolution, and made it quiet well...
I could not find movie Five Star Final yet. But will keep in mind to check it out when available.
Thank you again!
Five years earlier, in 1927 actor H. B. Warner starred as Jesus Christ in Cecil B. DeMille's silent classic King of Kings with brilliant believeability, exuding saintliness, compassion and nearly a nimbus.
Fourteen years later, in 1946 he would play George Bailey's childhood druggist boss, who drunk with grief at a telegram his son had died in the Great War, misprescribes for a patient, and boxes George's ears when George refuses to deliver it, but then hugs him gratefully when George explains that he had unwittingly prescribed poison.
Loved it 🍕 Thank you again!!!!🍕💕🍕💕🍕💕
Only 10 years now from looking a century into the past.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
@56:40 "Benson's a shylock"...lmfao hahahaha
Great thanks
Great movie ❤
It would be very difficult for a young person to drive a very old car in today's world. Nowadays cars have automatic everything.
powerful story, well acted 🎥👍
Sheila was quite detestable. An ingrate, a user and an adulteress. Her incessant crying was really tiresome and transparent. Crocodile tears. Good movie though, thanks mate.
Joyce Compton was doing/behaving just as the writers and director instructed. They wanted her bad "qualities" to far outweigh her good ones.
1:10:17 - Oooooops. At least they didn't throw the Pierce Arrow (1:10:28) over the bridge.
Pierce Arrow cars were manufactured in Buffalo, New York. I love the Packards from the early 1930s. Beautiful!
Nice. Thanks Pizza
This movies are outstanding!
Thank you pizza Fix!!
"It's not what you know, but who you know 😏 "
Wow what a crazy ending!
From the thumbnail, I thought this was Jean Harlow and Clark Gable. Obviously every movie can't be everything to every person.
I thought it was Mary Carlisle
@@honey_bee65 You are probably right. I was thinking that the only time Clark Gable ever turned his back on film (outside of Gone With the Wind) was when Jean Harlow was on screen. i am likely wrong.
@@honey_bee65 ...she just died a couple of years ago...at about age 103 (I have to totally exit this site to get exact details).
@@robertwalker5521 - Yeah, I remember that day. She was 104
I was looking everywhere for Jason Robards but couldn't recognize him. He must have been very young in this movie.
This was Jason Robards.You were looking for his son JR junior of Tender is the night fame.
He was very young.
He was the shorter tennis player.
thank you
It's interesting to see a very young Lyle Talbot in this classic film.
It said "Lysle Talbot in the credits . What was up with that ?
@@sodality3970 Right, I noticed that too. He was born Lisle Henderson, but the "y" remains a mystery.
He would be young in 1932 doh!
Elks??? One of my favorite films.
Funny old movies. They are smoking all the time.And the sound of the cars racing away. To funny.
She was a child playing with her sex appeal. That kind of beauty is like a magic wand.
i really do think that hollywod was much better before all of that code crap
I enjoyed it!
Wholesome is refreshing
I guess bc the patient is dying, he went along with the request of his last smoke to enjoy. 😢 "Isa"
Thank you 🍕 Pizzaflix🎥❤️🎥❤️🎥❤️🍕🍕🍕
TY, PizzaFlix really good movie: story, sets,the women's clothes! And good acting, especially the father...really fine actor.
Oh my gosh! It is Betty Boop in person, including voice! Boop, Boop, De, Poo
More Betty Boop than Madame Bovary. Except that Betty Boop was really innocent and clueless. Madame Bovary knowingly made a choice. The problem for both Madame Bovary and Sheila was money. Hard to describe or explain.
i'm less than nine minutes into the film and Sheila already makes me sick.
That is A/K/A : excellent acting.
Hi pizza flix , it's so nice to see a good DRAMA , IM NOT A FAN OF GUNS AND ROBERS OR WESTERNS ,IF WE WANTED TO SEE BLOOD AND GUNS WITH NO STORY ,WE COULD GO TO NETFIX ,THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT OLD DRAMA , CAN YOU PULL OUT SOME OF YOU OLD DRAMAS YOU HAVE, I NO YOU GOT SOME GREAT ONES ,IVE BEEN YOU SUBSCRIBER FOR FIVE YEARS NOW LOVEYOUR CHANNEL
Yes. Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
It's know not no.

Sheila is Joyce Compton whose costume memorably and repeatedly flew up as she sang "My Love Has Gone With the Wind" in "The Awful Truth"!
