WATCH ALONG: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
Added 2022-04-14 14:00:01 +0000 UTCWhy are the thumbnail freeze-frames always so aggressive in the watching along preview. 😂😂😂

From 1934 to 1968 (although the 1968 date is somewhat fluid) The Motion Picture Production Code, also known as The Hayes Code, was a set of Industry Guidelines, a form of industry self-censorship that shaped all movies. If anyone is interested, here is a link to a copy from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. http://www.umsl.edu/~gradyf/theory/1930code.pdf Movie Makers and Actors/Actresses became quite creative in things like cursing without curse words" and subtly hinting at things without actually saying them. This is why things don't "sound right" today.

The ending of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane still has me asking questions 😅 I hope we get some more old movie reactions soon. I'd love to watch His Girl Friday or The Thin Man along with Ashleigh. It's been years since I've seen either of them but they are so fun and I need to see them again. Rear Window is another I've been hoping for since this channel started.

2022-04-16 04:07:07 +0000 UTCWhen they said the word "rubbers" in the film, it refers to rubber rain boots aka galoshes or overshoes. If rubbers were used in a 1939 film--in the context of how we use the term today--it would not pass the censors. It's a Wonderful Life is in my top ten of favorite movies and I've seen it many times on tv. I recognized at least 4 people who played characters in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington--other than Jimmy Stewart--that were in It's a Wonderful Life, if my eyes didn't deceive me: Mr. Gower, the pharmacist; George Bailey's mother, Uncle Billy; and, maybe, the real estate guy. I've seen the Mr. Smith movie once many years ago on tv.
