If there’s one thing I’ve learned from #SilentFilm & #PreCode -era films it’s that folx got publically rowdy and destructive quickly and at the drop of a hat!

<5mins in and we’ve hit most of the Frank McHugh comedy tropes:

Playing a reporter or clergy or general degenerate ✅
The patented Frank McHugh Laugh™️✅
Kind of a dope ✅

First up is “The Hot Spot” (1931) (https://youtu.be/TJerjayJnJ0?si=p5W48ZomKRY41dCx) which was one of a series of comedy shorts Frank McHugh made for RKO in the early 1930s

Completely forgot I saw this at the cinema. Also forgot it was directed by Dennis Hopper. Have not forgotten that Jennifer Connolly is in it.

The Hot Spot – Une curiosité venue du Soleil Levant

Je ne pense pas que je me serais penché sur la série sans l'élogieuse critique que Moguri en a fait dans le Cosy Corner 167 mais il a réussi à piquer ma curiosité et je ne le regrette pas. Préparez-vous à plonger dans le quotidien d'un petit hôtel nippon et plus particulièrement d'un duo de...
