  I play these old films to lull me to sleep.. Fibromyalgia keeps me from sleeping more than a couple hours at a time and having something playing distracts from the pain that keeps me awake.  This film was too good to fall asleep to! I LOVE seeing  the old clothes, homes, cars, etc.   And there's always a plot.  Car chases aren't CGI. Character driven storylines.   Thank you for bringing it to us.  I highly recommend this film.  The costumes--modern women had ditched their corsets only a few years before this film was made.  The flimsy little slip dresses were a far cry from being trussed up in whalebone and lacing and 30 pounds of undergarments.  The history of women's fashions interests me.

  This movie had to be painful for those who lost their fortunes due to the Depression.

  I love this movie! Especially the clothes, and décor. Watched it twice, and will probably watch it again.

  It&apos;s always a delicate balance.<br><br>My ex-wife complained that I wasn&apos;t making enough money.<br>So I started picking up overtime hours at work to make more money.<br>She complained that I was always working and never home.<br><br>I guess that&apos;s why she&apos;s my ex-wife.

  Very intense lessons in the importance of morality and being grateful for what God&apos;s blessed you with instead of coveting what you don&apos;t have. Bittersweet sad tragic ending for one couple.

  Originally released in October 1930.<br>June Collyer was the sister of Clayton &quot;Bud&quot; Collyer, who originally studied law, but later became a radio and TV announcer, and was emcee &nbsp;of &quot;BEAT THE CLOCK&quot; and &quot;TO TELL THE TRUTH&quot; {among other programs}. June later married Stu Erwin, who co-starred with him in &quot;TROUBLE WITH FATHER&quot; in the early 1950&apos;s.

  Sad how the good guys seem to have selfish, ungrateful wives and the good wives have horrible husbands. It&apos;s very rare when both spouses are genuinely devoted to their marriages through thick/thin rich/poor.

  I love the Art Deco furniture and room decor. And the dress silhouettes of the 1930s were so slinky dinky and flattering. They looked comfortable as well. 😘🖼️🎨

  Some women &nbsp;and some men do not know their limit, a loving husband or wife is so important, but this flies out the window when things and impressing others out ways , sense .
