1. I am going to be the first comment……
   this vid gave me a lot of pleasure!

2. Old Hollywood was the best.
   This Hollywood Without Make-Up video has some great unrehearsed footage, very enjoyable.

   Hope you like these out-takes from that era:

3. Hope you enjoy these 1930 Comedies, see if you can spot Bing Crosby in his first movie role:

   “Reaching for the Moon”1930) Douglas Fairbanks (Comedy) (106:19)

   “Sin Takes a Holiday”(1930) Basil Rathbone, Constance Bennett (Comedy) (119:56)

   1. The latter title might describe Dear Leader’s skedaddling to his hidey-hole on the weekends.

      1. “Sin Takes a Holiday?”

         What? Dangerous territory! Off topic, we’ll be tossed from this thread, quick possible fix:
         (word ‘son’ in Russian is: сын= ‘syn’, pronounced “sin”…)

         Here we go:
         Could this be the title of Dear Leader’s next movie? :
         “Justin – Syn of PET And Mags Takes A Holiday Every Day”
         A Comedy — coming to a theatre near you.

         1. The latter’s probably more accurate, though it’s a sin what he does or doesn’t do.

4. I watched all 3 parts.
   At the start of part 1 he has a great shot of Gary Cooper but doesn’t name him which is curious.

   1. I saw it all too. I think Cooper was still an unknown then–he looked so young. Everyone there was so great looking, young and fresh.

      I particularly enjoyed seeing the real estate. L.A. had a much smaller population.

5. Near the beginning of the video: “Debbie Reynolds and her new baby”.

   That baby is Princess Leia.

6. Movies without Negroes, Indians, or Chinese. Today, you cannot see one. Watching movies becomes like doing another shift at work, minus genuine conversations. Hollywood, and especially Disney, signed their death certificate, when they filmed The Last Airbender and the like.

7. There were some marvelous party scenes from Hearst Castle in “Hollywood without Make- Up.” Scenes from Stanley Kubrick’s “Spartacus” with Kirk Douglas and also scenes from a Lady Gaga music video were filmed at W.R.Hearst’s swimming pool in San Simeon, California.

   More details here about the ‘Neptune’ pool:

8. Prior to the Production Code of 1933 in Hollywood, the movies were getting wild and salacious. See an explanation of this in a short video:

   The following is another pre-code film, for your enjoyment:
   “Millie (1931) Various Actors
   https:///9FYHUD0VVHU

   Fun early talkie drama film following the exploits of Millie Blake (Helen Twelvetrees) and her “love parade” of heels. Millie’s shaking virgin-wedding night-do we have to go to bed?- scene is very funny, one of the best of its kind on old film. Millie’s life begins to crumble when she finds out her husband is having an affair.

   Featured is a young Joan Blondell, who is a scene stealer. She and Frank McHugh would make tons of great films over the next 20 years. The sound and picture quality are surprisingly good for such a seldom seen film. Good reviews.
