I'll keep this short. Before May of this year, pre-codes weren't something I was overly passionate about. I didn't hate them- I just had never really explored this pocket of film history to its fullest extent. Almost by accident (I was on a Barbara Stanwyck binge), I ended up watching several pre-codes in a short period of time and an overwhelming love was born. If you've never explored this period of film history- I highly recommend it. Go visit the sensational "pre-code.com", read up on the essential films and actors/actresses of the period and dive in head first! They're fun, salacious, daring and unforgettable. You won't regret it.
Your edit breathed new life into these old movie clips. The acting, the cinematography... when taken out and pieced together to tell another story, shine in new light. It's like watching the trailer of a new film with these wonderful actors and actresses from the bygone days (an impossible ensemble even then!). The nostalgic nuances are truly mesmerising, and very addictive.
A wonderful tribute Laura, this is fantastic.Thank you for all the wonderful William Powell eye candy in it. So glad to see, Myrna Loy in this too. Her role in Thirteen Women is a great add to this, she was very dark in that role.
Very beautiful video, I love that there is someone who is playing with the old movies, they are so much better than what we have now.
I wasn’t ready for all those feelings 😩
I am mesmerized. The intensity of the song and the visual narrative altogether - smouldering with undertones of desire, violence and passion - is so unexpected, yet very powerful and really accentuates each and every subtle movement and action so that it seems to resonate much more deeply. I love how you always manage to do that so effortlessly in all of your videos and especially with facial expressions in this one - such is the strange allure of this song that it feels like there's so much more weight behind a sultry gaze (0:03) or a menacing stare (1:26) - it really heightens the emotion. Each clip is so well placed and transitions seamlessly into the next, especially as each chorus begins and ends - I like the synchronicity of the onscreen action and the beats of the music (1:19-1:20, 3:16-3:18, 3:31-3:33). Anyway I feel like I'm rambling too much and losing any semblance of coherent thought, but I really wanted to convey just how much I loved this! :) I'm not hugely familiar with pre-code movies, but I will definitely be checking out a few from your list!
This was breathtaking! Absolutely stunning!
Hot damn! That was brilliant!
Again Laura, you knocked it out of the park! I just love your ability to take songs that at first glance wouldn’t go together with the films and make them flow so beautifully together that I find it hard to hear one without thinking of the other. Thank you again for all the work you put into it!
Oh..but at 1:58 among other things.cute...😉. Laura your videos project such feelings of longing, danger, sexiness, mystery,all things foreign and impossible to quite put into words. Miss Norma Shearer - wild!Barbra Stanwyck so young...and my fav- Joan-. amazing...you have all the screen sirens I worshipped and admired from back in the day...I feel I can close my eyes and transport myself back to the 30s....silk gowns, Jasmine blooms and Jungle Gardenia in the air! Thank you Laura💙🌼..ps..your video of Monty..ahhhh....I just died!
I was absolutely floored when you posted something after a really long time, and what a treat it was! I never really expected much from this video besides the obvious greatness since it was done by you, but WOW this was incredibly well done, and I needed to rewatch this several times just to grasp words adequate enough to publicly post ♥️ I obviously don't comment enough on your videos, but I've watched them all, and I wish I had half the talent you have 💖 great work!
You had me at Leslie Howard
What happened to the "Classic Hollywood" video with The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony? I used to watch that religiously.
If I may be so bold, I would love a video that incorporates some footage of Teresa Wright. She is a criminally underrated actress in my opinion.
I also have a song suggestion for a future video: The Head and the Heart - City of Angels. Every time I listen to it, I ponder which classic Hollywood scenes your editing prowess would conjure up to accompany it.
Bittersweet Symphony was blocked worldwide by UA-cam. On my channel, I have a link to my vimeo page which contains the videos UA-cam has blocked through the years. You can find it there :)
Whew, this is so gorgeous and haunting...I can’t stop watching. Perfection. 💕
Absolutely STUNNING.
Absolutely Beautiful Claudette Colbert R I P beautiful soul.
Ginger!!! :D ♡
Wow, this is such a great video, I love your work! I don't know all the movies yet but I'm thrilled by all the scenes you put in here.
You tell stories very well. Beautifully edited. There sure are a lot of movies I haven't seen. This is a very rewatchable film you made. Thanks for your work.
Breathtaking
You do use clips very well. I look forward to your next videos!
Hi. I love your videos. Are beautiful. Can you make another Montgomery Clift tribute? I watched the other one you posted and found it incredible! It's very difficult to find such a beautiful video of Monty. Thanks.
Can't believe I never commented on this; I've watched it so many times since it was uploaded.
Beautiful vid; as always, your scene selection is flawless. Good to see love for an underappreciated era in film history. :)
Woow! This is one of the best tributes I've ever seen!! The Pre-code period is one of my favourites!!
I'll put this in my best videos playlist! :)))
This is exactly the kind of vibe I associate with the birth of cinema and all the legends with it. Being able to really express artistically precode, and create a story they wanted told, we ended up getting an era of ethereal peculiarity in film. The human psyche on full display, in every facet. Which in turn, made for a dark and wild universe. For your video, it had haunting visuals and song choice with Hozier that captured this world, in my opinion. Editing done beautifully in time with audio and every frame had depth, and a purpose. I loved it 👏
I appreciate your effort ❤ the choice of each scene is impeccable
Oh my goodness! Your channel is pure gold, darling. I’m completely in love with it, what a great taste ❤️💝❤️
Got such chills watching this! Fantastic video as ever!
I enjoy your videos so much. Hope more are coming
I am absolutely in love with this. Thanks for always making wonderful classic Hollywood videos
amazing as always!
Omg love this sooooo much!! PRE CODE IS COOOLLL!!
Omg all my favs!! You should make a james cagney one or a gangster one!!
Beautiful !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Great compilation! I am working on a massive project to compile all pre-code scenes from all pre-code films that I can find (several hundred).
THIS IS SO GOODDDDD
Very beautifully made! ✨💕
Your vids are amazing make more!!! Please regularly 💕💕💕
love it 💗💗
Amazing!
Perfection Laura ...... Your work is done ..... But please carry on.
It's perfect
YYYAAASSS
You got far to less subscribers. I love you videos
Wow❤️❤️
Belle, beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍
This is such a lovely tribute that has made me very intrigued about this era of film. I always love your videos on classic film, even though I know none of the films. It's just such a neat glimpse into an older era! :D If you don't mind me asking, what film is 1:56 - 1:59?
Design for Living (1933). Thanks so much for watching and your lovely feedback :)
Thanks! And you're welcome. :)
Omg could you please do a Tony and Maria edit from west side story
Where in the world can you see all these movies?
Damn
I needed to rewatch this a few times before I could comment on it-- wow. I am not madly familiar with pre-code myself (or rather, I never really processed the context of some of the pre-codes I've watched, I just liked them) but this makes me eager to explore them more and more. What an edit! I have to admit I don't really like this song, and it's so unusual it must have been a nightmare to get the clips to flow but you did it so well. And it is very mood appropriate. I'm just awestruck by how beautiful and intense these films are, as much as I love later decades there's something so mystical and art-like about the early 30s style and cinematography. Thank you for showcasing it so beautifully
And the film where Ricardo whips Dolores Del Rio!
Thank you so much for the WONDERFUL feedback! I'm absolutely floored. The Joan/Franchot film is "Dancing Lady" and the Ricardo/Dolores film is "Wonder Bar". Probably the most BONKERS film included in this video.
Every time I watch one of your videos I wanna watch all the movies😊
Do you take suggestions?
If you do maybe do Glenn Ford
I think the only person I recognize here is Bela Lugosi at 1:24 and I may or may not have seen Karloff somewhere in there
Awesome video! Thanks once again! Which movie is the scene at 1:55 from?
K.S Thanks for watching :) The film is “Design for Living” 👍
@@editedbylaura Thanks!!
help what movie was at 3:24 🥺 (the woman with the gun)
This could have been titled 'facial expressions' Well done
3:26 what film is this?
2:18 notm?
gold diggers of 1933 x
Could you list the films used?
The full list is in the description :)
Thanks, but where is the description?
@@jasta12 Right under the video box, you'll see Laura's name, and right below that it says "Show More." Click on that.
Thanks!
whats the actress at 00:57?
I believe that is Mary Astor.
Who is that @ 1:35 for a split second????
I'm not sure which person you're referring to exactly (1:35 seems to sit exactly on a cut) but the film is "Hot Saturday" and the two leading men are a VERY young Cary Grant (in one of his first films) and Randolph Scott.
Laura it is Cary Grant, thank youuuu
Who's the handsome guy at 2:33? :D
That is Richard Barthelmess. A long since forgotten, but wonderful actor who was prominent during the silent and pre-code days :)
what is the film at 3:17 ?
Thank for youtube suggestion :)
Scarface (the original 1932 version), with Paul Muni.
