I feel like commenting on nearly every year, lucky you TG11! I'm so bored :( and procrastinating.
ReplyDelete1931, a very good year. Although, I don't like Le Million very much. I can't explain why, but I was generally uninvolved. It felt very typical of early sound film, it just didn't work for me. Monkey Business is also my least favourite Marx film. I like City Lights and Frankenstein though.
I highly recommend M and The Public enemy. If you haven't already seen them, I recommend Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Smiling Lieutenant.
