PizzaFlix - again my thanks for all your time and effort to organize and present these classics for us! I love them (even the bad ones have merit). Also love that many of these movies show what a melting pot America with by including different cultures.
My grandparents were married in 1932, the worst year of the Great Depression. My Grandma told me some of the stories about what they went through. For instance, she was boiling potatoes (that's all they had to eat) and my Grandpa was out looking for work. The gas man came and said he had to turn off the gas. She said "Can't I boil my potatoes first?" He said, " I would like to ma'am, but I have to." Imagine how she must have felt when my Grandpa returned with half-boiled potatoes for supper. I really find it hard to watch when they sit down for dinner...
Maybe you don't have to be in the depression to hope for a good potato. I love potatoes.
This is a great great flick..but I do miss the old days and everyone in them..get it.
What a world.
Heads UP! Take a look at the scene where car comes around corner fast (near beginning) and both cops chase car and they end up at a intersection with cop coming down hill - NOW, look closely at that intersection, that is same intersection where Spencer Tracy drove his car in the 1964 film 'Mad Mad Mad World' 30 years later. Interesting how motion picture companies use the same geographic areas over and over to make films?
Thanks for posting! We get to see old California and oh, those bungalows!
The cop's 'bikes' (logo visible at 05:32) are Hendersons with inline four cylinder engines.
Owned by Schwinn since 1918, the Chicago based manufacturer ceased production of motorcycles in 1931 to focus exclusively on bicycles.
Wow. Good eye. Never knew Schwann made motorbikes. My 2nd bicycle was a Schwinn after my no-name Sting Ray was stolen. I loved the Sting Ray, but had the Schwinn forever.
@@PizzaFLIX I also had a 'knock off' stingray, an AMF Renegade (made when AMF owned Harley Davidson, actually) that I used for my paper route (Van Nuys News and Valley Green Sheet) until I bought a red Schwinn Sting Ray with the big five speed stickshift from my buddy Joel Ewanick (later a top GM exec.) when he upgraded to a 'Krate' model.
As I grew taller I rebuilt a used Schwinn Varsity. All were good bikes.
Here is an account of Schwinn / Excelsior / Henderson history: michellecoxauthor.com/schwinn-the-worlds-best-motorcycle/
Thanks for posting such great old 'flicks'!
@@-oiiio-3993 I don't think I have a pic of my old Schwinn but it was a 3-speed. I moved up to an Atala 10 speed but from the bottom of their line, it only cost $79 new.
Thanks I wondered about the logo
Wow. What a good moralistic script. I am very impressed.
at 13:59 thats a 1931 Chrysler Imperial Roadster... They thought nothing of it...
today a classic, priceless piece of auto history.
Fascinating footage of 1932 Los Angeles. When the cops hassle the Italian produce truck driver and pull him over they're in Hollwoodland. Amazing to see the shot down Santa Monica Boulevard when there was still a lot of vacant land on it. Los Angeles in 1932 was truly amazing and beautiful! I wish I knew where the neighborhood shots were and if the houses still remain.
Officer Thirteen (original title), Released 26 November 1932 (USA). Monte Blue as Tom Burke, Lila Lee as Doris Dane, Charles Delaney as Sandy Malone, Robert Ellis as Jack Blake, Frances Rich as Joan Thorpe. Joseph W. Girard (as Joseph Girard) as Chief of Police Kramer, Seena Owen as Trixi DuBray, Mickey Rooney (as Mickey McGuire) as Buddy Malone, Jackie Searl (as Jackie Searle) as Sammy, Lloyd Ingraham as Judge Dane, Florence Roberts as Granny, George Humbert, Fruit Vendor, Dot Meyberg as Dolores, Charles O'Malley as Pete Billings, Allan Cavan as Police Captain Reed.
My brother just noted that the motorcycles they wee riding have stretched frames and four cylinder engines. They look like a brand a neighbor had in the 50's called Excelsior.
At about 42:00, the look on her face when the guys says, "men get tired of nothing" has absolutely made my day 😃👍🏽
But my brothers and sisters and I survived up to today...pure miracle!
Thanks pizzaFlix ,I just love these vintage movies...
ENJOYED WATCHING THIS GOOD OLD MOVIE NICE STORY THANK YOU FEB. 24 2019
"Didja here that? Uncle Tom's no fool!" - great movie (although I wish it hadda been non-stop motorcycling) with some great bikes, thanks Pizza 💖 🇨🇦
Good One! Much better than You might think! Good scenes too and the Horseless Carriages!
How cops should be honored recognized for their selflessness and were respected!
It's ironic considering corruption was a much more serious problem in 1932 than it is now
In 1932 Los Angeles the police department was literally running the bootleging in business
Never assume that movies are accurate depictions of reality. There were plenty of corrupt, racist cops in LA in 1932.
A fun movie. Better than most modern ones.
1:31 This shot taken on Beachwood Drive near the entrance to what what then was called "Hollywoodland" There is a vacant lot behind the cameras there on the corner, not in the movie, opposite the turn on the road that features the famous gates on Beachwood drive which are just around the corner Our two policemen 4:34 are going right towards them... And still are there today..... Going north (the other way) through them you dead ended at the tract office for sales of lots for Hollywoodland. Taking a left and around the corner to the right at the bend was the place this scene was taken. only a few hundred feet.
The young breezy actress in 19:39 cought my eye:
I found it is Frances Rich (1910-2007). She really did a lot of things in her life! Performer, US Navy Lt Commander, model, art teacher, notable scluptress, world traveler, intellectual circles member... a beautiful and admirable woman.
Yes, what a remarkable life! I wonder if she could've taken that tie rod end off my 15 year old van any better than I did...just wondering.

Hi! Thank you for posting and sharing! :-)
Thanks
Movies like this that showed us the truth made us the great society we once were!
Al, this is Hollywood, not real life. In real life in the 1930s crime had reached a level not seen for half a century. It was matched again only in the 1980s. Crime is lower today than at either of these periods. That's just ordinary crime. If you want a more dramatic view of our former great society, check out the statistics on lynchings. Movies put a happy face on everything, and nostalgia takes over from there.
Well said Marc in NA! People seem to romanticize about the past based on fictional stories.
I agree with you.
You mean the great society where non-whites were second-class citizens?
@@marcinna8553 Thank you for recognizing that movies are not accurate depictions of reality.
This is much like the Los Angeles of my youth. Once the Latino gangs were forceably well, "surpressed" by servicemen in WW2, Los Angeles entered a golden age. The streets were clean, everyone had a job, Churches were full on Sundays. Pressed clean clothing was the rule, kids were able to enjoy their childhood on safe streets and schools. People were polite everyone used 'please', 'thank you' and "excuse me" People were patriotic they identified as Americans. We had many relatives in L.A. and there was no such thing as fear or drugs in any noticeable way.. L.A. always had a smooth soft feeling to that Beautiful
city.....now?....Forget it!
OMG, the delusions
And you're actually admitting that Latinos were targeted and attacked illegally. And you miss it. This is why we can't wait for old people to die
Way to put your racism on display...the good old days...🙄
Yes, I'm sure LA was wonderful back then, provided you where white, of course.
Needs to be done again.
Creepy Butler, maybe lurches Dad!
Mickey Rooney must have been 12 years old in 1932... and he was 93 when he passed away...
Rooney was born September 23, 1920.
Mickey Rooney great acting
Mickey McGuire is obviously Mickey Rooney!
Holy cow. I wouldn't have recognized him until you mentioned it. This is precious.
At 12:09, the Cahuenga Pass pre-Hollywood Freeway?
Your rite Susie Q great catch never would caught it myself . He was a good actor even at that age
Did anyone notice the gas prices around the 1:00 mark? 15/17 cents per gallon!
and to compare....it was only 30 cents or less in the late 60's, fullt 30 years after the movie. Buying it today at $1.80 is maybe even a better deal with inflation.
There was an earlier shot that showed gasoline at 13 cents a gallon. Like today despite the huge oil industry gasoline was more expensive in Los Angeles and California than in other places. In 1932 gasoline averaged 7/8 cents a gallon in the U.S.
Mickey Rooney is about 12 years old here - born 9/23/20.
The movie came out in 32 so he was 11 when it came out he may have been around 10 when it was filmed
I like drama with comic relief :)
A great featurette !
" CHiPS 1932 "
Los Angeles in the 1930s.....another time...another place....
One crooked judge now we have hundreds!
thousands... or more
There have ALWAYS been crooked judges, you twit.
Great movie!
Nice story.
COLD BLOODED, LOVE ME SOME YOUNG MICK!!!!!!! THANKS 10MILL. UPLOADER.
Excellent ☺
"he'll never forgive me" him: "what did you do?" her: "nothing" him: "maybe that's it, don't be so hard to get. Dames don't realize, a guy gets tired of nothing after a while" lol, ah the good 'ol days of no PC
The way that guy was driving in the beginning of the movie he should have his license revoked immediately and the cops are making a joke of it.
Dolly Madison bakery at 10:38, which became a national brand. Wikipedia claims this company was not started until 1937.
It mentions the store shown in this Movie and it's relationship to the later Dolly Madison Company.
Don’t trust Wikipedia they’re changing American history!
@@almeggs3247 uhhhh.....OK
@@almeggs3247 Man, you said a mouthful! Google, Wikipedia, FB -- Bolshevik censors and buriers of vital historical information that documents their history properly. Those researchers and writers today are called "anti-semites."

Monte Blue was reported to have saved a chorus girl (Wanda Stewart) from serious injury by tearing her gown off after it had accidentally caught on fire during a stage performance in Seattle. (Compare to Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby.)
good stuff
Can anyone tell what kind of motorcycles they are ? Looks like 4 cylinder in line - Henderson ?
I believe you're right... they were Henderson Excelsiors bad ass bikes!!
@@steelwheels327 1929-31 Henderson Four Streamlines. Excelsiors were Vtwins. Both makes were manufactured by Excelsior Motor, Manfacturing and Supply Company, after 1917.
Sandy Malone really needed a helmet, preferably a modern one. Brave bikers, they didn't even have Google, er, I mean goggles for their googly eyes!
They did have some cool gloves, though.
The Motorcycles would be worth tens of thousand dollars now.
Hendersons.
The competitor to Indian and HD, ceased production in 1931.
There would have be worth hundreds of thousands in working condition
What role does Seena Owen play? Trixie Du Bray/
My parents were married in 1939...right the outburst of Second World Two...I was born in 1942..right in the meadle of the conflict...very bad ...
Second world WAR II.

Good movie
I was buying 17cent gas... In Kansas City 1967
same here in san antonio, texas.
So true! During the Gas Wars of the 1960's. I remember gas was 15 cents a gal. (100 octane) @ Thoni Gas Station in KCMO. "What a great time to be a teenager with my first car. 1962 Impala SS. Bought it in 1964 for $1900." 😎
you are exactly right. I got it for 16 cents. Filled my 1956 Plymouth savoy wagon, and it ran out I held the handle and let it run out, just to remember the moment.... which I just did.
did you see that?.... 13 cent GAS!
Per usinflationcalculator.com , thirteen cents of 1932 would be equivalent to $2.45 in 2020.
and that was for a gallon right? we pay a dollar something for 1/4 of that called a litre.
Noticed the oil rigs at 1:00 downtown LA
Jail time for the butler? or was he on the lamb after he kidnapped the Judge's daughter and became an accessory to multiple felonies?
Book the butler Dan-O!
@@caroltenge5147 LOL
Huh! Shyster lawyer. Not common usage today.
It is still used particularly among lawyers
replaced by "weasel"
What happened to the very end!??? Did she live or not!?? Does anyone know?😮💨
ah, yes, rickey mooney. check'm out in QUICKSAND :)
Credits show him as "Mickey McGuire".... seems he used that early on.
Wow, Joan is absolutely horrible! Her best friend is involved in an accident in which a man is injured and might die, and she treats it like a big joke! Go to so much hell, Joan! As for the movie itself, it's too sappy and schmaltzy for my tastes. I'm generally an easy cry, but I found myself laughing.
go away granny. Turn on the mouseketeers.
Mickey Rooney only 8 or 9 years old
Mickey Rooney only eight or nine years old when this movie was made this is what La used to be like when I was a little kid this is one movie I missed started watching television in the 1940s Mickey Rooney was one of my favorites back in those days my older brother used to run around with Robert Blake they were buddies wow time goes by!
@@1942fox Rooney was born Sept. 23, 1920. This film was shot in 1932.
Was that Mickey Rooney?
@al meggs, Yeah, I thought that too.
Absolutely was they have him credited as his real name Mickey McGuire
@@stephenrraible3765 ....no....his REAL name was Ninnian Joseph Yule Jr. . Mickey McQuire was his earlier stage name for a series he did where the character was named Mickey McGuire.
I do get the feeling that this is a bit modern !
Wade Raney i agree! specialy the scean on the road. better than the 50's or some of modern ones!
Clean streets,manicured lawns,no graffitied walls,no tents,no needles,no beggars.A little smoggy,but a beautiful city of Angels.Then the border jumpers moved in and took over. L.A. is about to be re-named "North Tijuana".
Learn some history, fool.
El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles was founded in 1781, long before the 'white' European "border jumpers" arrived.
Along with you my German friend?

The state of California now comprises more Mexicans than whites.Hundreds of thousands of those here ILLEGALLY,living off the American hard working taxpayer.How many of those ILLEGALS pay taxes?

Vertigo 2
Didn’t the producers know back then that we’re no longer supposed to feel sorry for the victims but for the perpetrator ask any democrat!
Occupational health and safety be damned I pillion any kid I want no helmet no goggles no nothing.
Rather simplified plot with an exaggerated amount of gut wrenching emotional sequences, kind of boring? The cop that was killed looked like he took the corner too wide and went off road, not like the car hit his motorcycle so you had to pretend somehow this guy had killed the cop by knocking him off road - but it didn't look like that in film? I think they convicted an innocent man!
It was a1932 film not 2022 , film was in their infancy & most likely on a budget.
@@jak3589 Don't think that makes my observation incorrect - if you base the entire film on a particular scene then they should get it correct regardless. Film was going strong since 1910.
@@richardnailhistorical3445 who cares about your observation, you brought up the scene.
@@jak3589 It was you who replied in an infantile manner to what I brought up, apparently you 'think u care'? 'who cares' ? those interested in the truth care' not those falsely defensive passionate because their response is pointless to the comment!
