One of my favorite videos. At my age I can reconize most of those great stars.
I look at pictures of current movie awards orograms and have no idea who these people are and care less.

[@catlover34fl]

This was great entertainment. Many of the beauties of the early 1930s. Nancy Carroll, Loretta Young, Miriam Hopkins, Claudette Colbert, Bette Davis, even Greta Garbo. Loved it!

[@lscarver5]

This video is a compilation of several movies. Bombshell and Lady Killer are two that I recognized. Clever editing.

[@maureen1938]

Sweet and Lovely.....Thanks for sharing this with us !

[@pictureroll]

Gus Arnheim, one of the Best....................

[@MissCodswallop]

@2reeler Well thanks! Wow, I didn't even click on the "show more". I usually do that! Well I was raised with the classics and I love black and white films. I'd actually love to be a film historian some day!

[@bettyzimmerman7811]

I love the music and it was a time before I was born where people dressed Sharp classy and you could tell that people forgot their troubles and.ENJOYED them selves and fell madly in love fo4ever

[@jerricherribomb]

I'm beginning to love this aesthetic

[@MissCodswallop]

Oh, what a wonderful video! Off the top of my head, I spotted Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Thelma Todd, Ginger Rogers (I thought I saw her briefly), and William Powell. I also thought I spotted Mary Astor, but I'm not entirely sure. I enjoyed watching Thelma Todd being dragged onto to the dance floor at 4:50. She was good at that comedic stuff!

[@lovinraftqueenofnite7708]

Love it George Raft & Miriam Hopkins dancing from Dancers in the Dark are included.

[@Bigband78]

You are the BEST Video Maker by far,2reeler.. This takes us back to the 1930s

[@bluedoris88]

You'v certainly got the 'touch' this is my kinda stuff. thanks

[@Wdroster]

Fred MacMurray played clarinet and tenor sax in Arnheim's orchestra in 1930-31. He ending up having a stellar career, one of the top paid actors during his time in Hollywood.

[@Bigband78]

Comedian Joe E. Brown at 4:30-4:35. Thanks again 2reeler. I know Russ Columbo was in this orchestra but so was Fred MacMurray. on Sax and vocals.

[@stephenindc9102]

Who's the animated blonde shown right after Joe E. Brown?

[@bhsisthebest]

This video is awesome! Thank you for posting!

[@roybo1930]

Oh! This one is SUPER AWESOME!!! I see at least several of My favorit movies here, such as "Red Headed Woman" 2:16. The music is to die for!

[@gaildimick1831]

Seen young Cary Grant Gary Cooper Edward Robinson

[@CATWITCHJudie]

VERY LOVELY AND SWEET ;))Both, music and video creation!!

[@maynardcat]

Love the music, and the video is great, the music and the vintage clips compliment each other to perfection. Great post.

[@dick12235]

Thanks.

[@yosoykarito]

2:24 Gary Cooper was there!! 😍😍 He was gorgeous.

[@donaldwilson8446]

Just great! I wish I could remember the names of some of the stars that I didn't recognize

[@gaildimick1831]

I could name about half, but need help. Great video and Sweet & Lovely great number.

[@DigitalDiscusVideo]

Thanks again. I've shared your "Marvelous" video on The Russ Columbo Society FB page.

[@janettewalker3991]

Great, thanks for sharing.

[@MissCodswallop]

@MissCodswallop Oh, and I didn't spot Kay Francis the first time. I think she was one of the most elegant actresses I've ever seen. I've only seen her in two films so far (The Cocoanuts and Trouble in Paradise). It was great seeing her with The Marx Brothers. They're my favorite!

[@benzo4029]

I read your comment about the great actress Kay Francis, and agree! Also hope you can see her in the two favorite films of mine, "One Way Passage" and "Girls About Town". From 1931 and 1932. You will never forget them. One Way Passage was her personal favorite. The most amazing love story ever!

[@richardmoon1852]

Thanks

[@cristpthomas]

Clark Gable and his wife HAGATHA!

[@richardmoon1852]

Thanks again.

[@SuspiciouslyDLicious]

Max Raabe did a ripping version of this in the movie, "The Invincible". It's simply Heaven on a stick!

[@Jotaemesg]

Great editing!
