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 am so glad about the commemoration for the victims of the molasses flood. I'll be looking forward to hearing about that and, when you have time, about this film!

Where and when is the commemoration? I was reading the Boston archologist's report hesterday, which made it sound like the vat was in what is now Langone Park..

Ford's beautiful (so is Harlow). I don't know if that face could twist into tears or a bitter laugh.
