Up the River (1930, John Ford)
Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart, both in their film debuts, star as convicts in this surprisingly light in tone prison escapade. #PreCodeApril
And finally, I'm going to miss these fabulous posters & wicked titles. So here are few posters of #precode films I want to watched, inpsired by #PreCodeApril.
Safe in Hell (1931)
Call Her Savage (1932)
The Sin of Nora Moran (1933)
Crime without Passion (1934)
Death Takes a Holiday (1934, Mitchell Leisen) Death (Fredric March) is confused why people are reluctant to go with him, so takes human form to find out, on his 'holiday' he is drawn to Grazia (Evelyn Venable). Good looking eccentric fantasy melodrama. A curiosity. #PreCodeApril
The Gay Bride (1934, Jack Conway)
Showgirl (Carole Lombard) is determined to marry money & decides that a gangster (Nat Pendleton) is the perfect mark: lots of money/potential short life-span! But then there's her love/hate relationship with Jimmy (Chester Morris). #PreCodeApril
Now watching: She Done Him Wrong for #PreCodeApril. My second Mae West film after Sextette, her last film. Although I should have watched Night After Night, which was her debut film!
Now watching: The Scarlet Empress which counts towards #PreCodeApril. Some of these posters are great!
