I just watched And Then There Were None (René Clair, 1945) and rated it 6/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Then_There_Were_None_%281945_film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #AndThenThereWereNone #RenéClair #BarryFitzgerald #JuneDuprez #WalterHuston #LouisHayward

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 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.
