In the first dozen or so years of his film career (1930-mid1940s), Frank McHugh made approximately 90 feature films! His frequent co-stars & friends William Powell & Aline MacMahon would rival that with 60 & 40 films, respectively, during that time

I'm doing a Thin Man filmfest this holiday.
Already watched the first two (which I've seen a gazillion times already).
Watched "Another Thin Man" last night , it was... really... not great. 😆
Tonight for NYE, Shadow Of The Thin Man (which I think I've seen before) and The Thin Man Goes Home (which I don't think I've ever seen).
(I also think it's funny that our library catalogs these under "Suspense"...)

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.#3things #precode #cinema #movies #WilliamPowell #KayFrancis #cinemastodon #cocktails

William Powell loved dogs. He even had a pet Weenie dog

William Powell as high-powered lawyer and single father to Elizabeth Taylor in “The Girl Who Had Everything” (1953)

William Powell and Margaret Lindsay in “Private Detective 62” (1933)
In a curious case of recycling, the opening few minutes of this film is exactly like “Calling Philo Vance” (1940)—a spy getting caught in a European country, deported on a cargo ship, ordered returned for further trial before escaping and jumping into New York harbor.
The stories are completely different after that and the opening is pretty much irrelevant to the later story in both cases.

Dang. I just read that in 1938 #WilliamPowell was cured of colon cancer by having irritated platinum needles inserted "into his body"
So immediately my brain is like
Dat ass is radioactive

Bee’s KneesI may or may not have had a couple of these while watching My Man Godfrey.
Hadn’t seen it in ages, and it’s as fantastic as ever. Really glad not to have watched anything Oscar nominated tonight.
