		Phillips Holmes was considered and rejected for the opposite reason: he would have been a good Jekyll but a poor Hyde.
		During the first transformation scene, the accompanying noises on the soundtrack included portions of Bach, a gong being played backwards, painting on the track, and, reportedly, a recording of director Rouben Mamoulian's own heart.

		The second film adaptation of the book of the same name, 1979’s ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ is essentially a more modern adaptation of the early 1931 film that now looks, due to its status as an early ‘talkie’ with over-exaggerated acting, quite dated.

	support for the Orphans
		In 1931 reissue of a film which was originally tinted and toned, but the new negative made from print #3 was a black-and-white print with a sound track, and five prints were made from this negative.
		I am reminded what happened about two years ago at Eastman House, when one day I opened the side door, and there right in front of me were three piles of films, very carefully stacked.
		Prints of films that are known to exist in other forms and are neglected because their format does not correspond to what is perceived to be the best format.

	Amazon.com: James Whale: A New World of Gods and Monsters: Books: James Curtis
		Whale, a British expatriate who made his way to Hollywood just as films were making the transition to the talkies, directed both the original Frankenstein (1931) and its sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein (1936), for Universal Pictures.
		Whale's life story is emblematic of an entire generation of European émigrés who made critical artistic contributions to American film only to find themselves in ultimate obscurity.
		Afraid of being pigeonholed as a horror director (he also made The Invisible Man and The Old Dark House), he eventually insisted on more mainstream projects, including the musical Show Boat and The Road Back, a sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front that flopped at the box office.

	Articles - Charlie Chaplin
		The final dramatic speech in his 1940 film The Great Dictator, which was critical of patriotic nationalism, was highly controversial, as was his vocal public support for the opening of a second European front in 1942 to assist the Soviet Union in World War II.
		After the arrival of sound films, he made City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936), essentially silent films scored with his own music and sound effects.

	Mae Clarke: The Film Noir 'net
		Attractive but just short of beautiful, Clarke developed her own naturalistic acting style, eliciting raves from critics for her co-starring performances in three other 1931 releases, Waterloo Bridge, Frankenstein as Elizabeth, the wife of Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive), and The Front Page, in which she gave a good performance as the pathetic Molly Malloy.
		In her late seventies or so, Clarke was working in the "Court of Miracles" show at the Universal Studios Tour in Hollywood, not far from where she had filmed her role as Dr. Frankenstein's wife so many years before in 1931.
		As an actress, she shone as one of the bright lights of the early talkie era.

	Review: City Lights
		Chaplin released three silent films after The Jazz Singer reached theaters: 1928's The Circus, 1931's City Lights, and 1936's Modern Times.
		As compelling as City Lights' dramatic element is, the film is still primarily a comedy, and features several instances of Chaplin at his best.
		City Lights is the quintessential silent film - sound would have ruined it.

	DVD Verdict Review - Street Scene
		In 1931, at age 39, Street Scene was her first film, as she reprised her role from the stage play.
		Most of the story unfolds in front of the building although it widens to encompass the whole block once the confrontation between Frank Marraunt and his wife and her lover has occurred.
		Director King Vidor and cinematographer George Barnes (Academy Award for 1940s Rebecca), however, go to great lengths to add dimension and scope to the story's setting through interesting and effective camera angles and camera movement using tracking and boom shots.

	Harold Arlen - Biography - The Cotton Club Years
		Arlen and Koehler took a year off during the twenty-third edition of the Cotton Club to spend a few weeks in Hollywood on their first film assignment entitled Let's Fall in Love (which was also the name of the hit song from the movie).
		The songs that they wrote for the Club's 1931 show, Rhythmania, such as Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, Trickeration, Kickin' the Gong Around, and I Love A Parade, became instant sensations.
		With Cab Calloway in mind for the song, Harold opened the song with what he calls a "front shout." In as little as half an hour, he and Koehler had completed their respective ends of the collaboration and, relieved to have one more tune out of the way, left the party to get a sandwich.
