Next I watched STRANGE INTERLUDE, one of the Warner Archive discs that's been gathering dust in the last month or so since I've been so busy.
My goodness they had ridiculous notions about age back then. When Shearer and Gable's child is seven, they have them with more than half of their hair gray (though Shearer still looks very glamorous and chic). By the time he graduates from college, they're stooped with age, completely white-haired, and almost feeble, looking almost like his grandparents rather than his parents.
The picture started out filled with white speckles, but later on, it clears up and does look bad at all for a 1932 movie. The sound, of course, is horribly hissy.
