thought I was all done with 1933 flicks, but apparently not! I caught Rowland V Lee’s Zoo In Budapest at Maryland’s cinema treasure - The AFI Silver. Zoo stars Gene Raymond as a kindly zoo keeper, who helps ‘orphan’ Loretta Young escape the orphanage by hiding out in the zoo… IN BUDAPEST!!! hearts throb, and then a little boy, also on the loose, opens a tiger cage and all hell breaks lose! elephants start breaking down cages, lions fight tigers, tigers fight elephants and the humans are helpless to stop it all!! there was no CGI back then so these animals appeared to really be fighting one another!! CRAZY TOWN!!!!

The Film Forum showed 66 films from 1933 & we saw 30 of them + a bunch of Betty Boop toons & other mini-gems. YOWZERS!! That’s a lot of films and time and strain on the eyes, but it was well beyond worth it!!
All good things must come to end (but really, why do all good things have to end???). And now we’re stuck back in 2013, wishing it was still 1933. Hopefully the FF will return to the land of Pre-Code oldies but way goodies, sooner rather later. PLEASE!!!!!!!!
so which were our favs? ALL OF THEM. ok, so there were some duds out of the 30, but here’s 12 that own our heart…
Bombshell / Dancing Lady / Design For Living / Female / Flying Down To Rio / Footlight Parade / I’m No Angel / Lady For A Day / Queen Christina / Roman Scandals / The Little Giant / The Private Lives of Henry The VIII
speaking of 1933, check out this map of America’s favorite foods from then!!

Film Forum’s 66 film - month long salute to ‘Hollywood’s Naughtiest, Bawdiest Year’ - 1933!!! CONCLUDES…
Day 28 goes out with a triple bang - Female + I Cover The Waterfront + The Sin of Nora Moran
Oh Ruth Chatterton!!! We’ve only seen you in two movies, Frisco Jenny, and now Michael Curtiz’ Female, and yet we’re already ready to proclaim you as one of our favorite early talkie actresses ever!!! It’s true!! In Female, Ruth is large and in charge, of an automobile company! If only she could find a CEO of her heart!!! After seeing endless of her male employees after hours, for some fringe and frisky benefits, and nothing to show for it, things finally start to warm up for her when George Brent (her real life hubby from 1932-1934) reports to the office. Ferdinand Gottschalk co-stars as Ruth’s guardian angel / right hand man
journalist Ben Lyon covers the waterfront in James Cruze’s I Cover the Waterfront, where he tries to crack open a story about a human trafficking sea captain, Ernest Torrance, while trying to make a land-lover out of the captain’s daughter, Claudette Colbert. The movie is completely forgettable, but looking at Claudette’s unbelievable eyes and apple cheeks for 75 minutes is better than not doing it
Phil Goldstone’s The Sin of Nora Moran isn’t as salacious as its title or poster would suggest (that poster IS INCREDIBLE!!), but its story has plenty twists and turns to keep you worried about Nora (Zita Johann), her lover (Paul Cavanagh), and his brother in-law (Alan Dinehart)’s plights of fancy

Film Forum’s 66 film - month long salute to ‘Hollywood’s Naughtiest, Bawdiest Year’ - 1933!!! continues…
Day 27’s toe tappin’ two stepper - Dancing Lady + Flying Down To Rio
What do Dancing Lady and Lady For A Day have in common? ‘Ladies’ + May Robson + both are my ABSOLUTE favorites from this GREAT GREAT film series (granted, we didn’t see ALL the movies, and there’s still one day left. sniffle sniffle)!!! Wanna know how grand Robert Z Leonard’s Dancing Lady is? We LOATHE Joan Crawford, but Joan Crawford is THE Dancing Lady and she danced away with Franchot Tone’s heart (and in real life too - they were married from ‘35 - ‘39), Clark Gable’s heart, AND OURS!!!! Did we mention that this was Fred Astaire’s screen debut???? AND THAT THE THREE STOOGES (+ their original master, Ted Healy) WERE IN IT!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . This movie is a MUST see. MUST!!!!
preceding Lady, Crawford’s grandson, Casey LaLonde, played 10 minutes of color home movies from the late ’30s/early ’40s!!! one clip showed Joany sunbathing BUTT-naked. YES. we saw her butt!! CRAZY!!
oh, and the other movie? Thornton Freeland’s Flying Down To Rio, which started off as a total snooze fest, as bland Gene Raymond chases blah-ish Dolores del Río down to… Rio, where her fiancé Raul Roulien is waiting. But things really get cooking when Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers share the screen FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!! You can image what they do to that screen - yep, the burn it up, dancing the night away, and there are smiles aplenty, on-screen and off (for us!!). And it doesn’t end there. Follied ladies are strapped to bi-planes and dance in the sky!!!!!!!!!! If that doesn’t make sense OR piques your interest OR neither, you still need to see it to believe it!!!!!!!
