Got company, let’s have a second film.

Film situation … I do go through each film and a few reviews … none of the 30s shorts are left, either for vision, sound or plot reasons. There are about five feature films, a couple of long TV episodes as well. Can’t see myself doing more 30s than that for now, let’s see what YT do.

This was quite a good one:

“This movie is a B-detective series film. This means that as a “B” movie, it was the second and usually lesser film on a double-feature bill. This didn’t mean that B meant it was a bad film, but it was certainly given a smaller budget and had lesser pretensions and expectations from the studio. Many B-films were detective series films and they provided great but also relatively predictable entertainment (much like a movie version of a TV show like MURDER SHE WROTE or even LAW AND ORDER). Common to all these films were goofy or evil supporting characters, a very fast pace, a relatively short length (55-70 minutes) and a certain familiarity with the main characters. Some notable examples are the Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chan, Falcon or Saint series films.

The Lone Wolf is in many ways particularly like The Saint or Falcon films because the lead (Warren William) plays a reformed thief and gentleman who is smooth with the ladies. While he’s very easy to like and is obviously a force for good, the police never seem to understand he’s helping them. AND, because of this, the cops are pretty dumb! This is the trademark of all these films.

In this case, William is very ably assisted by Eric Blore (who is hilarious as his butler in this third Lone Wolf film). Unlike the last of the Warren William Lone Wolf films (The Lone Wolf Strikes), this one has a very good plot and actually has some entertaining twists and turns. Plus, like the first of the series (The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt), the supporting actors in general are excellent. A very good example of the series.”

What’s your first reaction to this below, readers? Is it to nod along, vehemently agree … or is it to ask about Kimberly Overton (who is she?) … or is it, as mine was, to ask, “Who’s this healthbot?”

You see, there are 4 players here … one called healthbot, one left of screen, speaking of Kimberly (obviously a dissident nurse), one right of screen answering but not Kimberly as they speak “of” her, even though the fixed caption says her name … and then whatever PS is. Confusing for a deep diver.

My feeling is that at least one is just “reporting on” the situation, all good … but not protocol or netiquette.

a) A Typically Lefty – does not know what the word ‘Democracy’ means. Writer and philosopher Mazarine Pingeot has decided to cancel her participation in a cultural event in La Flèche, Sarthe. This decision comes in the wake of the National Rally’s victory in the municipal election….

b) Saint-Denis, ‘City of Kings’, and the Great Replacement: a case study. At the foot of the Basilica of Saint-Denis, the necropolis of the kings of France since Merovingian times, the descendants of the subjects of Their Majesties the Most Christian Kings are becoming increasingly rare.

c) Belgian public broadcasters smash Christian figures but say [that they] would not do so to Islamic or Jewish ones. Presenters on Studio Brussel….

d) Psssst; wanna buy the Eiffel Tower? A section of the helical staircase trod by millions of visitors to reach the summit of the Eiffel Tower is going under the hammer at Artcurial in Paris in May.

Crisis of integrity in online reportage, journalism

One of the things any pundit must be wary of is the scam account. At a minimum, the departure from straightness in the approach to this below is a lesson in not jumping in without due diligence. Voila:

For a start, it’s not written in ordinary citizen language, it’s MSM, then there is that JFK Jr died in a plane crash in 1999. So who is this person on X? The profile says WH. Even if we accepted the content at face value … and my other digging says that we can for Qatar, are still waiting on Saudi … there is still a lack of journalistic or scholarly ethics which in my former working life would have had us out on our ear.

……

That above is the screenshot for the X version of this post. This is the long version continued:

MMutR was asking me to include Gab in my posting and to a point I do, but it’s far less stringent over there at Gab … that can be good, can be bad, a bit of both. For example:

Who’s Wendy Milling when she’s at home? No pic, no profile on Gab. I found this on the first search:

Back to the Gab posts … clearly anti Israel, anti Zionism … but who for? Maybe not the mussies, except as zero sum rejection of Net the Yahoo … I see someone here at least onside with, say, Candace … “Christian Nationalism”, which we know Gab is. END/.

(1517) Late afternoon and evening all. (1926) Finishing up for the evening now, folks.

16. There’s something about the 30s in film

Have aleady mentioned the lighter vein, the lightheartedness but that’s the type of film I’ve skimmed through for the site, filled with women of a non-feminist type, nice fashions … the films themselves, during the depression were heavy on happy endings.

One I was looking at for today was The Mystery Man, ended up posting it … uninspiring review below it but halfway through, a real “keeper” suddenly appeared and altered his arrogance just like that. The audience must have been urging these two on to the last gasp happy ending.

Started thinking why these films are nice … could the stagey nature, out of the silent era, be a factor? The woodiness of the acting? The almost amateurishness? Thought back to The 39 Steps and though far more serious, the values were still nice. 20s for jazz, 30s for film?

11. Just one of the myriad issues facing us

 

“I like Monogram movies – you can generally be sure of two things – (1) the movies will be entertaining and (2) there will be either a silly plot or a plot with big enough holes in it to drive a truck through.

And this movie is no exception. Robert Armstrong’s Larry Doyle is a cock-sure but good reporter for a Chicago newspaper. The police respect him (indeed, they give him a gun to show their appreciation for his help with a case) but his editor can’t stand him.

Larry spends his $50 bonus on treating his pals to a night on the town. His editor fires him but Larry goes on celebrating and winds up in St. Louis where he befriends a down and out but spunky young woman, Anne Ogilvie (played by Maxine Doyle).

One of my favorite bits in the movie is where Larry secretly pays for Anne’s coffee and donut when she finds out she doesn’t have enough money. Larry sees himself as Anne’s protector and because of Larry’s moxie, they end up staying in a hotel suite (with two bedrooms).

In spite of his former editor’s trying to prevent it, Larry eventually gets a job on the St. Louis News. He is soon hot on the trail of the notorious criminal known as “The Eel.”

The rest of the movie doesn’t make much sense but all’s well that ends well.

Armstrong does a good job but does not do the snappy reporter type as well as Chester Morris or Wally Ford. However, he does such scenes as that at the coffee shop better than they so it all evens out. I had never heard of Maxine Doyle and she did a somewhat surprisingly good job as Anne.

A pleasant enough way to spend an hour.”

(1014) Morning all … chores this morning, back inside again, wind chill factor out there. Two days running very little on X, usually should at least be US news. Now, either X is restricting what is seen (and there were harsh words spoken yesterday by many) or else there is just fatigue with people. (1103)

I can only return, yet again, to the chapter in my long book entitled:
