Huns, I spotted my first swifts today and it's about 8495739 trillion degrees above average. I need some #rain.

Sweating it out with Joan Crawford and Walter Huston. #NowWatching Rain (1932).

Joan Crawford and those eyes, toasting. The setting is tropical and the clouds are about to burst.

Ann Vickers, a 1933 melodrama with Irene Dunne as a social reformer. There's lots of pre-code sexual content but this a movie that bludgeons us relentlessly with a social message. Amazingly it features a bad performance by Walter Huston. Avoid.

#OnThisDate, February 14, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (John Huston, 1948) is the #FilmDuJour. #JohnHuston #BTraven #HumphreyBogart #WalterHuston #TimHolt #BookAdaptation #USA #drama #adventure #western #1940s #film #cinema #CineMastodon ★★★★☆

The winning lottery numbers of February 14, 1925.

The most lurid pre-code movie genre was the lust in the jungle movie, and the sleaziest and most over-the-top of them was Kongo (1932). Sweaty and scuzzy and sleazy, a totally mad depraved movie but it’s inspired madness and it's wonderful.

Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston star in Anthony Mann's western The Furies (1950), a slightly noirish nicely overheated psycho-sexual-emotional melodrama. Not a perfect film but fascinating and hugely enjoyable with Stanwyck and Huston in top form.

Lewis Milestone’s tropical melodrama Rain (1932), based on a story by W. Somerset Maugham. The story of a power struggle between a prostitute (Joan Crawford) and a preacher man (Walter Huston). One of the essential pre-code movies.

April 21st- A Fiddler

The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941)
Directed by William Dieterle

Old Scratch (Walter Huston) plays the fiddle at the Harvest Dance.

Bernard Herrmann created the creepily inhuman virtuoso performance of "Pop Goes The Weasel" in this scene by merging four different individual performances by the same violinist.

Walter Huston as the Devil playing the fiddle at a barn dance overlooking people dancing in the barn below

MGM's The Beast of the City (1932), most hard-edged and violent of all 30s gangster movies. Based on a W. R. Burnett story. Walter Huston is chilling as the obsessed cop. Jean Harlow, unconstrained by the Production Code, sizzles as a bad girl.

Nathan Juran's Law and Order, a 1953 remake of the extraordinarily dark 1932 western of the same name, based on the W.R. Burnett novel Saint Johnson.

With Ronald Reagan in the role played by Walter Huston in the '32 film. The '53 version is OK but nowhere near as good as the original.

You should never remake a truly great movie.

Joan Crawford in Rain (1932). Her career-best performance and Rain is one of the three or four best of all the pre-code movies. A battle of wills between a prostitute and a preacher (played by Walter Huston).

Based on a story by W. Somerset Maugham.
