@peymaania Just for kicks read Ava's autobiography, written just before her death. She was just as she appeared. Lusty, cheap, sleeping with half of Spain, and to her admission " I could drink any man under the table." And she did.
I love watching old movies. Movies sometimes reflect how people are in real life. Sometimes they influence how people behave in real life, and it seem like people had more integrity back then. Even the bad guys were more honorable. Friends were true friends, actual friends. Now we just have a bunch of "reality" shows with crazy people who can't be trusted and don't give a shit about anybody.
@peekaboots01 You sure have that right! Actors had what has been lost for about 25 years. "Class and Character." MacMurry, Lancaster, Power, Tracy, Gable, Mitchum, and same with the women. Now...the language is so pathetic that even 6 year olds are using the "f" word on school playgrounds. And the nudity. And the open sex so you have to cover a pre teens face. Class is lost forever.
@cardina89: Actually YouTube is a kind of purgatory....and heaven is when you wake up in your favorite movie and you know all your lines! God Bless you, Al Gore!
@WSenator1 - Thanks for that information. Now - I'm trying to locate "Elmo" in my mind's eye. Which one was he? BTW, Barnett looks 80 years old in "The Killers," which was made in 1946 - and he lived long enough to be on "Mayberry RFD"? Damn, but, unless there was a terrific makeup man for "The Killers," he had some genes on him!
@cardona89 Revolutionary. The world, in motion, at our fingertips. The importance of this technology, in combination with social networking sites and search engines, can hardly be overestimated. Better than any school. I can fix my car, do web design, plumbing, card tricks, circuitry, calculus, play any song on any musical instrument... on and on, all thanks to youtube.
@cardona89 Unfortunately, youtube will soon be only paid per view. In 2011, many movies could only be seen only if you pay a suscription. Internet will not be as we now see it.
Thanks very much for the response. I thought it was just one of those "cartoon" songs that WB used, and it had no name. But when I heard it in a completely different milieu, I got to wondering. Thanks again!
Curious about one thing - the song that the piano player plays at 1:00. I used to hear that song on some of the Looney Tunes cartoons of the late 30s. I was surprised to hear it in this film. Does that song have a name?

@peekaboots01 And the good, family men were racist, misogynistic, homophobic anti-semites.
Yup, those were the days!

Ava makes a very lovely debut. I've never been a fan of her beauty, but her light girlishness is appealing.
