Then I watched IDIOT'S DELIGHT from the Warner Archive collection. It's an old VHS master, and the first third is low on contrast and with lots of speckles, scratches, and reel change markers. Thing improve later in terms of grayscale, but the sound is hissy throughout. Still, I hadn't seen the movie all the way through in a long, long time, so I was glad to see it again. Norma Shearer really does a grand job in it. 1939 ended up being a banner year for her with this and THE WOMEN to her credit. Sadly, it was the last year she had big hits to her credit.
