Twentieth Century (1934 Howard Hawks)

John Barrymore - slightly hammy but brilliant - is theatre producer, the amazing Carole Lombard his discovery, with Walter Connolly (It Happened One Night, Nothing Sacred, died in 1940) and Roscoe Karns (It Happened One Night, Man's Favourite Sport, His Girl Friday). Also Fred 'Snowflake' Toones recognisable as waiter.

Madcap, rather than screwball, e.g. the religious nutter on board the train. Great fun.

If I took screen shots any more, and animated them, it would have to be the fantastic Ms Lombard, here in rare close up:

Barrymore was a heavy drinker, died in 1942, the same year as Lombard's fatal plane crash.

Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur adapted Millholland's play 'Napoleon of Broadway'. Shot by someone called Joseph August (just 158 credits, since 1915!)
