	Modern Times (1936)
		Filmed between 1932 and 1936, it was directed, written, scored, and produced by Chaplin himself - and he also starred in his own 'one-man show' with his current wife and kindred spirit Paulette Goddard.
		The foreword explains the film's theme: "'Modern Times.' A story of industry, of individual enterprise - humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness." The film opens with an overhead shot of a flock of sheep jostling in their sheep pen, and rushing through a chute.
		In one of the film's great opening scenes, the conveyor belt sequence, a masterpiece of choreography, the Tramp is a factory worker (Charlie Chaplin) whose job it is to tighten bolts on an endless series of machine parts - he is a small cog in the factory that exploits its workers.

	The Film Tribune - Rose-Marie (1936) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		With this in mind, it is not surprising that several film adaptations of stage material often looked static and stagy, but audiences did not seem to mind, as the play/musical had also been a success on the stage, with even less artistic possibilities, because of limitations in sets and direction.
		In the 1936 version of the film, Herbert Stothart, working as a musical director at Metro Goldwyn Mayer, where the film was made, added new music to the film, but the rest of the operetta was completely changed, from the plot to the selection of musical numbers.
		However, while the films of MacDonald and Eddy would perform phenomenally at the box-office during the 1930's, the style of their vehicles -- operatic, superficial, stilted, melodramatic, overly innocent and naive as it is -- would lose its appeal with the advent of the Second World War, and would become subjected to criticism and parody.

	DVD Verdict Review - Pennies From Heaven (1936)
		The film received a reasonably warm reception, but its only lasting impression is the title song that was nominated for an Academy Award for 1936's Best Song (losing out to "The Way You Look Tonight," which had been written by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields for Swing Time).
		The film, otherwise, was a standard Crosby vehicle for the time—no better and no worse than many others he did in the 1930s.
		Interestingly, at age 27 she was almost at the end of a film career of over 80 pictures that began with child roles in 1914.

	Soigne ton gauche / 1936 / film review / Jacques Tati
		This early film, written and starring France’s master of comedy, Jacques Tati, was directed by René Clément, a man who is not often associated with slapstick comedy.
		Years before he became a household name in France for his comic film creations, François the postman and Monsieur Hurlot, Tati was a popular comic performer on stage.
		The film’s closing scene, with the comic country postman cycling off into the distance, seems to presage Tati’s first notable work as a director, L’École des facteurs, made a decade later.

		His music for this film, which was about Lady Caroline Lamb's disastrous obsessive love for the poet Lord Byron, is distinguished by a very appealing tender romantic melody that is redolent of the Lady's yearning.
		The glorious waltz is surely now one of the most famous English film themes ever penned, but there is a tango here which is equally charming, with much witty and sophisticated, to say nothing of luxuriously well-appointed, scoring in-between.

	Film: I Capture The Castle
		Freely but respectfully adapted from Dodie Smith's original work, the film rejoices in lush rural settings and a crumbling castle which James Mortmain rents and turns into the family home.
		Ten years later, Cassandra is 17 and while the family fortunes have declined, she keeps herself sane by writing copious notes in her diary.
		And this is where a major concern of the film — the nature of romantic love — emerges.

		Here's the sort of collection try film music aficionados can only pray will be discovered by one or two 'outsiders'.
		Some noise reduction has been attempted, but since a lot of the music predates stereo recording, this really is the 'out of a tin box next door' sound quality many contemporary listeners shy away from.
		Composer Charles Williams is another element of the disc that's hardly obscure, but the collector would be hard pressed today to easily track down many of his more than 100 film scores.

	Reefer Madness (1936) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Since a summary of the film's main plot and great moments of illogic already exist on this sight, I will simply say that, other than those scary 1950s health films, there are precious few films out there that can compare to this one in the general field of misinformation.
		Anyone who has seen this film, which was clearly meant to cash in on the post-illegalization of marijuana, will surely find the Ralph character's stoned antics to be hilariously campy and the Bill character's everything to be alarmingly wooden.
		And pay close attention to the seemingly endless scene between Bill and his kid brother about a non-functioning model airplane--it seems to have no point at all to the storyline or the message of the film, but the kid is cute and precocious in that 1930s sort of way.

		Character actor Frank McHugh is perfect in the role; this is probably his shining moment as a 'Thirties film lead.
		The tough-talking, blustering boss of the gang and his doofy henchmen are also riotously funny in their roles, and the changes in their relationships to McHugh is what makes this flick so endearing.
		There are some decent laughs in the film, but I somehow suspect this story worked more effectively on the stage where it first began.

	Biography for James Whale (I) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		He began his contribution to the horror film genre with his move to Universal, directing Boris Karloff in Frankenstein (1931), notable for its sympathetic presentation of the monster, and The Invisible Man (1933) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), both notable for the humor he injected into horror.
		As horror movies lost favor, he retreated to a more private and hedonistic life including painting and all-male pool parties, at one point separating from his longtime lover David Lewis, suffering several strokes, finally committing suicide by drowning in his pool (he was afraid of water).
		As Universal's leading director, he won the plum assignment of directing the lavish musical Show Boat (1936), and did a fine job, but fell afoul of new management at the studio shortly thereafter.
