“The Cocoanuts” (1929) was Kay Francis’s second feature film and it was The Marx Brothers first “official” feature film. They had made a short in 1921 called “Humor Risk” but after 1 preview the film was never released and Groucho was rumored to have burnt the film negatives but who the fuck knows

“One Way Passage” is the 5th of the 6 films Kay Francis made with William Powell from 1930 to 1932, the first being “Behind the Make-Up” (1930) and the final was “Jewelry Robbery” (1932)

It’s my good luck that today is Kay Francis’s birthday and #TCM is playing some of my favorites among her movies. And I’m always happy when Glenda Farrell, Lyle Talbot and George Brent are in the films. Great to have on while printing. #melodrama more like real life than anyone cares to admit.
