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.

Some time ago, I found the US posters for it

Those are extremely inauthentic!

I am reminded of the poster for World for Ransom (1954), which like the title is way more high-octane than the movie.

That looks like it has recognisable people on it, though! Not just random art of people who you could vaguely match up to people in it if you squint a lot and turn your head sideways and sometimes not even then. I still claim dibs on most inauthentic poster in this thread! ;-p (Hmm, somehow that sentence didn't work out quite right... :lol:)

But still, The Traitors has a great theme, though (although the film version isn't online anywhere, only the single release, which is faster).

Although, to be fair, at least no one tried to colorise it and then stopped bothering with people's hair because it was too hard like the Alfred Burke one with the aliens in Soho.
