TCM is destroying my work day (one of the dangers of working form home), but providing some outstanding pre-code entertainment.
Watched the last hour or so of "When Ladies Meet" with its outstanding, smart and intense dialogue (basically, just four people talking at a critical point - a husband, wife, his mistress and a friend of all three) which could give any of these well-written TV shows or movies of today a run for their money.
People cheat, people get hurt, marriage can be hard, love can be fickle, what to do is not easy to know or, to say it succinctly, adult life and relationships are hard. It's all there in 1933 and it's fresh and applicable to today.
Now watching Robert Montgomery and a glowingly young and breezily lithe Maureen O'Sullivan trying not to fall in love which each other in "Hide-Out."
Lizzie, what do you think: Edward Arnold could be Eugene Pallette's meaner, slightly older brother?
