Up a Lazy River + Sailor’s Luck (1933)

The American Duchess

Tomorrow I am beginning a new adventure – sailing up the Mighty Mississippi from New Orleans to Red Wing, Minnesota.  We’ll be back to original programming August 8.

In the meantime, I’m going to try a little experiment that I hope won’t alienate my loyal readers.  Every day I’ll post a picture or two from the voyage and a photo and little capsule review from whatever Pre-Code movie I’ve seen the previous day.

For example, above is our home for 23 days and below is a lobby card from Raoul Walsh’s Sailor’s Luck (1933).  I was looking forward to it because it stars James Dunn and Sally Eilers from Bad Girl (1931), which I loved.  The romance was OK if overburdened with stupid misunderstandings but all the comic relief got on my nerves.  Relatively highly rated so your mileage may vary.
