It’s the last few days of #PreCodeApril and I haven’t updated this list for a while! I’ve seen Blonde Crazy from 1931, an excellent con artist caper that was the perfect vehicle for James Cagney’s slightly smarmy charm who has great chemistry with Joan Blondell!

Best Picture Winner Cavalcade (1933) was next for #PreCodeApril! Undoubtedly glorious in scale and ambition, it was surprisingly tepid in plot and character. Some parts were funny (esp the future planning on a boat on 14th April 1912…) but it mostly didn’t spend enough time in each historic period!
