Asaph (Charles Ruggles) is a meek, mild-mannered homebody who occasionally shows some backbone to his prudish, overbearing boss, only to be beaten down again. With the encouragement of his secretary Beulah (Ann Dvorak), his old college team-mate Wynn (Eugene Pallette) and some liquor, Asaph regains some of his wild-man soul. Watch out world!

Can't wait to watch. Circa 1934 for those who don't know.

A genuine classic comedy. Proves, and should be told to modern society, that such a film does not need to be trashy or vulgar to be entertaining. Thanks for posting. Keep them coming.

These movies way back then had some of the best writing ever.

I agree, which is why I watch most films during the 'Golden Age of Cinema' era. The writing was spectacular...something that Hollywood lacks these days.

Me too! I think the Hays production code was still new and they “slipped” that bit in 😊

For its time....a classic in every sense of the cinematic term.....a chain smoking....crazy-angry.....alcoholic Russian named Romanov...Greenwich Village (in its prime); a world on the cusp of the second world war...a corrupt politician....and Charles Ruggles....the eternal flame. Gives me hope! Thanks for archiving and posting this little gem.

Charles Ruggles has many fond childhood television memories as he appeared on many popular shows. Eugene Pallette starred in many wonderful movies, particularly with William Powell.

I loved Ann Dvorak's costumes, especially the back details. The camera was focused on her back a lot, including her stripping scene!

There was a sensational murderess about that period dubbed "The Tiger Woman".

@Bucketbothead007 3 ай бұрын

Betty May (born Bessie Golding), & she wrote about the "Tiger Woman" name in her 1929 autobiography (Tiger Woman: My Story). Apparently, during the 1934 Aleister Crowley stolen letters trial, May admitted that the book had been written by someone else, but she didn't say who it was, & that a section in the middle of the book was untrue. Also, in Leda Burke's (David "Bunny" Garnett) 1919 novel, Dope-Darling: A Story of Cocaine, female character 'Claire' was loosely based on May. In her diary, Jan Gabrial wrote about herself & Arthur Lowry meeting Betty May several times in the Autumn of 1933.

I've never heard of Betty May, but the Crowley crowd sure was decadent. She has quite the wikopedia entry! TY for sharing.
