02-06 19:27

Nothere:

The dance is what it is Ark ark ark

02-06 19:27

A thrown knife!

02-06 19:27

MIke in DC:

Not THAT’s a killer finale!

02-06 19:28

Rich Maine:

real dancers ?

02-06 19:28

Rush:

Yes.

02-06 19:28

Nothere:

Rush:

Yes, Mike.

02-06 19:29

Dona:

Very good dancers

02-06 19:29

MIke in DC:

High-budget Apache dance, Rich.  

02-06 19:29

Rush:

Yes, Mike…only now they need to replace the window AND the dancer!

02-06 19:29

Rich Maine:

yes it certainly was Mike…spare no expense

02-06 19:30

Nothere:

Did we use the breakaway or real window? Say a guere.

02-06 19:30

MIke in DC:

Dumb cop.  Doesn’t he watch Chan movies?  TOUCH NOTHING!

02-06 19:30

Rush:

Right!

02-06 19:31

MIke in DC:

He’s not leaving fingerprints all over the place…

02-06 19:32

Godwinshelley:

basson?

02-06 19:32

Nothere:

Depending on when Desert was made he might be apologizing for Ming Toy with that cuckcoo.

02-06 19:32

Rush:

Yes, even extended to inanimate things!

02-06 19:32

MIke in DC:

bass clarinet, then bassoon, GS

02-06 19:33

Rush:

Yes, NT.

02-06 19:33

mda19083:

watch out

02-06 19:33

Godwinshelley:

yes bass clarinets are fun

02-06 19:33

Rush:

CC escapes death.

02-06 19:33

MIke in DC:

some of this music gets recycled in many other Chans.  I wonder if this was the debut performance of the Chan music?

02-06 19:33

Matt:

Love this scene

02-06 19:33

Nothere:

Imagine the trouble he went to talking that stone block up on that roof.

02-06 19:33

Rush:

For a lot of it, probably, Mike.

02-06 19:34

mda19083:

leave no stone unturned

02-06 19:34

Rich Maine:

missed me by that much…….

02-06 19:34

Godwinshelley:

02-06 19:34

Rush:

We can be SO THANKFUL that this once-lost film was found!

02-06 19:34

Matt:

Helloooooo, Pop!

02-06 19:34

Rush:

LEE!!!

02-06 19:34

mda19083:

POP!

02-06 19:34

Rush:

His first words: “Hello, Pop!”

02-06 19:34

MIke in DC:

I would love to know more about how this music was composed/compiled and stored (libraries) at the studios…it’s fascinating how it comes back in various films.

02-06 19:34

Rush:

Yes, Mike.

02-06 19:34

MIke in DC:

Like the first meeting of Holmes and Watson, Rush!

02-06 19:35

Louise:

Good scene

02-06 19:35

Rush:

Ah!

Agreed, louise!

02-06 19:35

mda19083:

you have been in Honolulu I perceive

02-06 19:35

Rush:

The note was the first indicator that he was not welcome in Paris!

02-06 19:35

MIke in DC:

And they’re two outstanding actors…start Chan & son off with a bang

02-06 19:35

Dona:

Agreed here too

02-06 19:36

Rush:

“Thank you so much.”

02-06 19:36

MIke in DC:

How on Earth did you know that, MDA?

02-06 19:36

mda19083:

elementary school Mike

02-06 19:36

Rush:

02-06 19:37

Nothere:

Make one wrong move and she’ll order her lapels to attack.

02-06 19:38

Rush:

Yes!

02-06 19:38

Rich Maine:

how much was 1000 francs?

02-06 19:38

Rush:

Not a great guy.

I will check, Rich…

02-06 19:38

Louise:

creep

02-06 19:39

MIke in DC:

Mr. Smith really gets around in these early films.

02-06 19:40

Rush:

Yes, Mike…

02-06 19:41

Fredsmom:

kindness in heart better than gold in bank

02-06 19:41

Rush:

Still looking for the answer…

02-06 19:41

Nothere:

Sorry Rich best I can tell you is 1956 thousand would be bout 15k today.

02-06 19:41

Rich Maine:

wow!  that a big shopping spree!

02-06 19:41

MIke in DC:

at one point in the 40s, I think it was 6 francs to a dollar

02-06 19:42

Nothere:

Fraud in your bank., Bank on it.

02-06 19:42

Matt:

Shocking

02-06 19:43

Rich Maine:

gambling in casablanca ! shocking!

02-06 19:43

mda19083:

round up the usual suspects

02-06 19:43

Rush:

The 1,000 francs would be worth $200 in 1935.

02-06 19:43

Dona:

wow

02-06 19:43

Rush:

A LOT of money.

02-06 19:44

Dona:

02-06 19:44

Rich Maine:

Rush:

Well…no erros in 1935!

euros

02-06 19:45

Rush:

Champs-Élysées

02-06 19:45

Nothere:

Thats the conversion problem. First you have to adjust for about 100 years, and then a competey different currency. Ill need a Greek for this.

02-06 19:46

Dona:

the steering wheel is on the wrong side

02-06 19:46

Rush:

Yes, NT!

A British import!

02-06 19:46

Rich Maine:

he imported an english car

02-06 19:46

Dona:

02-06 19:46

mda19083:

its all Greek to me

02-06 19:47

Rush:

But, you were correct, Dona!

02-06 19:47

Dona:

I thought maybe they had the picture in the worng way

02-06 19:47

Louise:

Rush:

Yes.

02-06 19:48

mda19083:

02-06 19:48

Rush:

This is a clue for us, the viewers.

MDA, he’ll be out soon.

02-06 19:49

mda19083:

doesn’t anyone ever lock their doors?

02-06 19:49

Rush:

I guess not.

02-06 19:49

MIke in DC:

Apparently the 30s were a more trusting time…or it was a real pain to lock doors

02-06 19:49

Rush:

Both and?

02-06 19:50

Rich Maine:

doors unlocked guns everythere

02-06 19:50

Rush:

She really messes up here!

02-06 19:50

mda19083:

02-06 19:50

MIke in DC:

Quick!  Grab the gun!  Look guilty!

02-06 19:50

mda19083:

a screamer!

02-06 19:50

Rich Maine:

bonds issued by Vichy government

02-06 19:50

Rush:

Stupeidest move she could have made!!!

02-06 19:51

MIke in DC:

There wasn’t a Vichy government yet, Rich.  Not until 1940

02-06 19:51

Rush:

Yes.

02-06 19:51

Rich Maine:

yup, just a but too soon

02-06 19:51

MIke in DC:

Well, Rush, at least she didn’t shoot anyone

02-06 19:51

Rush:

Lee’s car is British, too!

At least!

02-06 19:51

Nothere:

Sure everybody shows up after I’ve got the gun. Where were you when I needed you

02-06 19:52

Rush:

Moulin Rouge across the street.

mda19083:

Rush:

Yes, GS.

02-06 20:00

Fredsmom:

02-06 20:01

Rush:

That’s why I said that some of the dar scenes in this movie are “noirish.”

02-06 20:01

Godwinshelley:

I tooke the TCM Noir class a few years back.  My certificate says I am now slightly more hard boiled

02-06 20:01

Fredsmom:

02-06 20:03

Rush:

Yes.

02-06 20:03

Rich Maine:

Anybody watching The Traitors on Peacock?  Its quite good concept…like Clue. Was originally on BBC.

02-06 20:03

MIke in DC:

02-06 20:03

Nothere:
