oh man, old movies!! my dad was a huge movie guy so I grew up watching that. My movie knowledge is basically 30s-50s and then abrupt jump to the 2000s lol It's instilled in me an adoration for bombastic musicals and over the top Hijinks. I absolutely adore the Marx Brothers and Basil Rathbone is, in my opinion, DRASTICALLY underappreciated. He was a fantastic Sherlock, but he was also such an amazing chameleon in so many vastly different roles! What are your favs with them, or any advice on what I should watch based on those loves.
Hi buddy!!!! WHAT a fun brief, have I got recs for you:
First up for sure for sure, have you ever seen Love Me Tonight (1932), by Rouben Mamoulian? One of the most insane things I have ever seen, COMMMMPLIMENTARY. It’s a pre-Code musical comedy with killer songs that are themselves having a lot of meta fun with the concept “musical comedy”—it’s wild! So funny, so strange, Myrna Loy is there being hilariously horny, just an exquisitely bonkers time.
Where: multiple copies just floating free on YouTube
And wow this is where I discover that I am still vanishingly low on Basil Rathbone movies! But you’ve made me think of mysteries, and gosh I really really loved The Lady Vanishes (1939). One of the lesser seen Hitchcocks, according to Letterboxd it’s all the way back in the 15th most popular, and that’s so crazy because it rules. Its mix of comedy, drama, twists, and an increasingly imperative political angle actually reminded me most of all of Bong Joon Ho. Two very charming lead performances too, which I bet you'll like!
Where: Criterion Channel, HBO Max, Prime
And since you mentioned that you had a sort of abrupt halt at the end of the 50s, if you want another wild musical, I cannot get enough of showing people Bob Fosse’s Sweet Charity (1969). It totally flopped at the time because half the audiences were over studio musicals, and the other half that did still love a musical were baffled by this one’s edge. But today, it feels like such a treasure. Unbelievably funny, mesmerizing dance sequences, inventive editing, full of colors and life and yet again, this fascinating dark undercurrent, sometimes overcurrent.
Where: this one can be harder to find, but you can always try your local library, I have a lot of pals who use theirs to find all sorts of old movies

[ Love Me Tonight // Annette Hanshaw ]
Life is so uncertain and no one seems to know How long we have to linger on Tomorrow we may both be gone Love me tonight Oh let me feel your arms And let me feel your kiss Then if this great big world must end Oh let it end like this My lips are yours forever, my heart is in your hand My love is yours to have, to hold Don’t wait until the moon is old Love me tonight.
