No credit for Hattie McDaniel, 3 years later she won an Academy Award for her role in Gone With the Wind. She appeared in 300 films, only getting credit in 83. She stuck it out, a real trooper!
Very fun movie with a very good cast. Hard facts for some people to face is that the studio interest in the black character actors was about commensurate with audience interest in them other than comic relief or passing time. In other words, not much other than what I just described. But don't despair; face facts, how many black people go to a Spike Jones ? Spike Lee ? movie for the bit part White actors ??!! Think about it, those who are grownups.
@@gregorypalmer5403 Black people go to see movies with white actors in them all the time. Most people today aren't overly concerned with an actor's race; they just want to be entertained.

A little too "musical" for my usual taste, but a fun enough story to keep my interest. Interesting to see how much the post office actually cared way back when-lol. Besides, it has Bela Lugosi.
"Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from their swift completion of their appointed rounds." - Collect US Postage Stamps!! Bela did so why should we not? (A little-known fact about Lugosi.)
He had a terrible alcohol & heroin addiction. It made him very unreliable to work with. His thick accent and blockbuster role as Dracula didn’t help either.
@@prevost8686 Stop slandering Bela, he was never addicted to heroin, he was morphine and not for his taste, Bela suffered injuries in World War I and he overcame that addiction
@@keithharvey7230 that person has no idea about the life and acting career of Bela Lugosi and will surely be a stupid Karloff fan that they often criticize Lugosi for no reason whatsoever
+Mary Wilder Actually, this movie is after he was typecasted as Dracula which was in 1931. I think his strong Hungariain accent is what at least partially limited his roles. Too bad!
Dear Mary Wilder🙋♀️ You’re right! Mr. Lugosi was handsome! But when I see his 👀 eyes, I still see “Count Dracula”! 🧛🏻♂️ LOL! Also, the leading man ain’t too shabby either!!! 🕺🏻 loved this film too! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕⭐️🙏✝️✡️🙋♀️
@@vinetater6368 very interesting it was nice to see Bela start out with a little bit of light bills there for a change and see the man and some of the characterization besides Dracula he could have been a great character actor as saying all kinds of roles but never got the chance it's a shame Here's to You Bela sleep well you'll be back
This thing is periodically so bizarre it approaches something surreal: Bela Lugosi saved from drowning by a postal inspector; Patricia Ellis unexpectedly bursting into song with her maid; idiotic contrivances sold through the mail; a little boy playing his harmonica in a nightclub; a giant flood advancing city by city, with cops chasing the bad guys down over submerged streets in speedboats. Godzilla should have shown up at the end as a topper.
@@bloodgrss "crooked Trump"? The only President who refused to be paid while being the President and instead gave his Presidential pay to charity, while Pelosi and others got rich while being politicians, including owning shares in Big Pharma and forcing people to take the clotshot?

@@katpoohtoo Lol-never drink and post, idiot! Since Trump scammed millions out of so many including his own family (not to mention his numerous 'bankruptcies') your comment is simply ignorant and irrelevant. No one has gotten richer through politics than Republicans-tho' there are crooks on both sides. The courts work slow, but have the Trumpster in their clutches. Will he and his Billionaire pals grasp him out of the jaws of prison? Tune in later. As for being clueless about what's going on with the actual science of Covid, elitist politics, democracy etc.; wasn't one of the arse's I saw breaking into the Capital yours?
Good to see Béla, do a role in a different genré, other than thriller/horror!! I love him in almost, everything he does. I've never heard, of this flick before. Could it be @12:07 that the "Connie Larrimore" name, be a reference to possibly, Carole Lombard perhaps ??? I.e. initials C.L./C.L. Both, British surnames. They have similar looks ⁉️ I got a strong, inkling🤔!!

according to her imdb discussion page, that IS her voice. she was a kid "starlet", so probably got the full benefits of coaching available to contract talent in the big studio industry of yesteryear
Really? He isn't in this much either?? :-( After watching his very best, it's getting harder and harder to find material that is worthy of Bela Lugosi.
Quite a few choppy jump-cuts in this one, but otherwise one with some pretty tasty sauce, PizzaFlix Guy. Thanks. At first, thought Bela was going to be a good guy for a change ... hehehe. Charlie has a pretty bad case of love-goggles, doesn't he!!
That is so good they are getting married and crooks were its ashame that her boss turned out to be crook,but she did it was kind of a joke but it really was the friends real job not a hobby!!!!

Never mistake movies for reality. :)
Maybe, the ONLY reason 😏!!!
…………Béla, that is.

The crying the harmonica oh no 😱Im young but love black and white movies and Bela Lugosi. ☠️
Bela Lugosi was really a good actor,if he got the right chance to prove it.
He had a terrible alcohol & heroin addiction. It made him very unreliable to work with. His thick accent and blockbuster role as Dracula didn’t help either.
@@prevost8686 Stop slandering Bela, he was never addicted to heroin, he was morphine and not for his taste, Bela suffered injuries in World War I and he overcame that addiction

This before Bela Lugosi was typecast. He was quite handsome
+Mary Wilder Actually, this movie is after he was typecasted as Dracula which was in 1931. I think his strong Hungariain accent is what at least partially limited his roles. Too bad!
Adding to the Depression, there was a MidWest dust bowl and the flood pictures are absolutely genuine.
THANK YOU PIZZAFLIX I LIKE ALL BELA LUGOSI AND RICARDO CORTEZ MOVIES THEY BOTH PLAY GREAT GOOD GUYS AND BAD GUYS APRIL 23 2019
Bela was a true star,a one off.
Wow another Bella movie I never new to me 😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

Deb!
Wonderful writing 😊
If I’m not mistaken, the leading man Ricardo Cortez was a Latin lover leading man in the silent era as well.
A really enjoyable movie. Loved the speed boat chase on the flood waters.
Another great and fun flick, thank you!
Thanks Pizzaflix you are giving me the chance to watch these Bella Lugosi movies I had no idea existed.
Old movies also help make the time pass during this coronavirus lockdown!

Love All Bela Lugosi Movies Just as an big Fan Of Boris Karloff too Great Movie 🧐
I’m a big fan of both Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, both were fantastic actors ❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hattie Mae and Ricardo Cortez are my favorites.

So many cuts in this movie it should have had an acting role in Elm Street 😁
What a great movie
What a great imitation of FDR's voice!
No it wasn't.
Hattie May was a very beautiful lady , her smile 😊lite a room
She was funny 😁to watch and she made the movie 🤗 even better
I love how he was so concerned about the mail getting through while there were people dying in a natural disaster.
The man has priorities. :)
Well that was entertaining. ✈🚤🎶🎶📫📬🚿🚙💵💵💰☕
Loved the movie. Nice to see Bela in a serious role.

What I learned today is that if you have a problem, an orchestra will appear and that you should sing your way out of trouble.
🎼🎵🎶"HOW DRY I AM!" 🎼🎵🎶
$3 miliion in 1936 is worth the equivalent of $52.5 million today
Nice. Special effect, scenery done well. No CGI here. She was very pretty star.
John P. Fulton was in charge of special effects.

Visually very different from other B pics. The boat sequence is done with real style blending full size and miniature really well.
The saddest part about this film is the real footage from flood-torn areas. Not enough dams or levies. 😢
Great song and scene at the shower!1
During the flood, she should have sung "How Dry I Am!" 🎼🎵🎶
A good featurette!
First time I heard her sing!! Haddy McD... she could sing..
Does anyone know if that was really Patricia Ellis voice all i can say is "WOW".Thanks for posting.
according to her imdb discussion page, that IS her voice. she was a kid "starlet", so probably got the full benefits of coaching available to contract talent in the big studio industry of yesteryear
That is her voice
PS: “Bill”, not “Charlie”! 😂⭐️🙋♀️
This was an enjoyable film. Ricardo Cortez, Bela Lugosi, Patricia Ellis were very good in their roles.
Sorry for a second post, but Bela does not look creepy at all :)
His voice was
The crud you have to watch to get a glimpse of Bela Lugosi.
