And when you go, you shoot the lights, you blow us all to bits

I leave this image as a sort of placeholder for The Beast of the City (1932), which I will have to write about some night when I don't have to get up early for a molasses flood commemoration. I was just watching it for Jean Harlow, but then there was the ending. I knew I liked Wallace Ford from Freaks (1932) and various older appearances as a character actor, but he appears to have joined the ranks of nicely weird-looking people I could watch all night. I haven't seen a body count like that since Tarantino.

I was watching this movie with [personal profile] spatch in the room, which meant he got to listen to my play-by-play of the finale. (If he'd been out of the room, I would have been frantically typing to him.) It eventually devolved into Red Dwarf.

"ROCKS FALL" etc. is in fact the only note I actually made on this movie last night.
