      Wow. I live in the middle of the desert. Wish I could meet a lady like that, but alas, all of those wonderful ladies are no more.
      I bet she was a hoot!
      I've had so many friends over the years who have been in music and films and some who everybody would know, and it's always fun to pick their brains about what it's like on that side of the studio walls and to ask about other celebrities too.
      I've even spoken to some who came just after the golden age too. Real talent that they never seem to lose. Lovely people unlike today's bag of talentless shills.

    Its hard to fathom this film was released 90 years ago. Back then childbirth was more risky but most families sat down to dinner, milk was dropped off at your door and the radio was the cornerstone of home entertainment. This was the first movie casting Betty Davis and the debut of Humphrey Bogart , both of which were destined to become legendary stars.

    1931 was the worst year of the Great Depression. My Grandma and Grandpa were married in 1931. She told me of the difficulties that they went through. Boiled potatoes for dinner. She didn't throw the potato water away for the next meal. Rivals (little dumplings) and a small onion cooked in the potato water they had on the next day. My Grandma was boiling something. My Grandad was out looking for a job. A knock at the door and it was the gas man. "I'm sorry, Ma'am. I'm here to turn off the gas." Imagine what her sorrow was when her husband got home and she had nothing to eat...

      Same birth year as my mother. Yes, for people in that age range the Depression was a massive factor in their lives. Most suffered great deprivations. My mother mentioned that those who had money going into it were well off as the Depression was deflationary. Looks like the banksters of today are working on bringing in the next one.

She and her kids ended up taking in my great grandmother after her husband passed cuz she was destitute. In the real world, no one had anything.

      @@lululacanuck3824 You haven't refuted what |I said. The price of assets, such as three houses, drops to nothing when there is no cash in circulation -- ie 'deflation.' Your business will crash because no one has cash to buy your services. BUT if you go into the Depression with CASH, you can buy up all the assets and businesses and services at pennies on the dollar. So your wealth in dollars dramatically escalates. So your statement that "in the real world no one had anything" is what is ';not true.'
      This also gave the banks the opportunity to foreclose on all outstanding bank loans of those who are in debt to the bank and therefore without cash reserves. The banks foreclosed on assets
      galore, including businesses and houses and farmland. So for the banks it was an orgy of asset wealth INCREASE.

I watched it twice - one right after the other. It’s wild to realize though, that this movie was made during The Great Depression. Very interesting watch - love to see what’s going on around the house as far as washing clothes + how typed correspondence was used. The boy gave the movie a ‘sitcom’ feel, with his antics.

    Pretty good cast for a Universal feature in 1931. They got Davis and Bogart on loan from Warners/First National, where they were secondary players. ZaSu Pitts was one of the great character players, and one who successfully made the transition from silents to sound.

      RJ, Bette and Bogart were not under contract to Warners in 1931. Their first studio was Universal Pictures Corporation. They were put under contract by Carl Laemmle when Bette arrived in Hollywood in 1930 as well as Bogart in 1930. Bette's contract was dropped in late 1931. She was freelance for 6 months and was gonna go back to New York as her movie career had not taken off when George Arliss called her to do The Man Who Played God at Warner Brothers in 1932. Bogart was dropped in 1931 and went back to the stage in New York and was only put under contract at Warner Brothers in 1936 when he did the film version of his Broadway hit The Petrified Forest

      @@pinecone1321 We portray anything a child does as innoscent and if we define innoscence with not knowing that actions have consequences and that you can severely hurt people emotionally or physically I guess there is truth to that. However we as a society have chosen a moral compass. That we don't take other people's belongings especially when they are precious to them out of spite and toy with their most intimate emotions. These lessons have to be taught to our offspring, but stupid neo hippies that excuses any action of a person especially when they are little prevent that from happening. Now kids have no boundaries... none. And don't try to paint me ack and claim that it is my opinion we should bring corporal punishment back. That is not what I think at all. It is a good thing we stopped hitting children but boundaries have to be enforced and respect to other people's feelings and property has to be insisted upon. If you are against that then I hope you never reproduce.

    Great acting, by every single member of this cast, including the little kids. Just superb.

    Wonderful film; thanks for sharing! Zazu Pitts is still quite young in this. she had a natural elegance that was somewhat smothered in the persona she developed. Watch her in 'A Little Princess' 1917, She is young and as graceful as a ballerina. Mary was the ideal then, but Zazu is more to the modern taste.

      And in producer Erich Stroheim's 1924 silent film magnum opus Greed, she was the centerpiece as a wayward wife. In real life she was a best friend of Nancy Davis Reagan's mother Edith.
