“The Cocoanuts” (1929) was Kay Francis’s second feature film and it was The Marx Brothers first “official” feature film. They had made a short in 1921 called “Humor Risk” but after 1 preview the film was never released and Groucho was rumored to have burnt the film negatives but who the fuck knows

“One Way Passage” is the 5th of the 6 films Kay Francis made with William Powell from 1930 to 1932, the first being “Behind the Make-Up” (1930) and the final was “Jewelry Robbery” (1932)

Our #MusComEnt and #RetroView leading lady of the week is Kay Francis. A star of stage and an even bigger star of the #PreCode screen Kay Francis was both the highest-paid and the tallest (she was 5’9) actress at Warner Bros during the 1930s. She retired from film and public life in the late 1940s.

It’s my good luck that today is Kay Francis’s birthday and #TCM is playing some of my favorites among her movies. And I’m always happy when Glenda Farrell, Lyle Talbot and George Brent are in the films. Great to have on while printing. #melodrama more like real life than anyone cares to admit.

Trangression, a 1931 romance melodrama. A wife finds temptation in Paris while her husband is in India on business. Ricardo Cortez is fun as a caddish womaniser. It's Cortez and the wonderful Kay Francis who make this one worth seeing.

Mandalay (1934) belongs to a sub-genre I dearly love, the pre-code tropical melodrama. With Kay Francis as a high-class hooker and sexual adventuress. She wears fabulous slinky 30s dresses. She’s at the top of her game here. Great movie.

3 things about Tay Garnett’s ONE WAY PASSAGE [1932]

1. Extra gunclip.
2. Hairpiece for the countess.
3. Mystical ending: the ghostly remnants of cocktail glasses appear on New Year's.
