It's got to have all the typical stuff, like the first 2 to get whacked are the ones making out. Boobs are probably everywhere...at least I. The beginning. I love it that, when you look at these posters and read the names, which usually has nobody we know, it always has and "And" after with a person's name as if they are special....and they are not:)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-67769780260668340442016-06-16T20:34:36.743-04:002016-06-16T20:34:36.743-04:00Definitely a nice counterbalance to that artsy far...Definitely a nice counterbalance to that artsy fartsy stuff.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-43937088495681837422016-06-16T20:32:06.988-04:002016-06-16T20:32:06.988-04:00Thanks for these, I will look into them!Thanks for these, I will look into them!Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-35239244101575954692016-06-16T16:48:11.906-04:002016-06-16T16:48:11.906-04:00Ha!

It manages to pack infidelity, heroin addiction, bootlegging, kidnapping and a host of other things into its fast moving narrative. <br /><br />Also The Story of Temple Drake starring Miriam Hopkins whose main theme is sexual enslavement. It was based on a William Faulkner novel called Sanctuary. It was actually considered so lurid that it was pulled from distribution for over 70 years until it resurfaced in 2011. Even the original poster art was quite brazen as you can see from the one used by IMDB.<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024617/?ref_=rvi_tt<br /><br />joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-70047492741366157292016-06-16T13:35:46.344-04:002016-06-16T13:35:46.344-04:00The premise to Chopping Mall is gold.

Extra credit for having seen parts of the third.<br /><br />Haven't seen any of your picks, but I am most interested in Employees Entrance. When a film's description starts with "harsh pre-code" I'm in. There were some great, gritty "talkies" made in the early 30s.

And lo and behold I scrolled down and there it was!! Both are lame-brained but I think I enjoyed Bikini Shop marginally more because of Bruce Greenwood. As to how he survived this and had a career I guess it was the same combo of tenacity and luck that let Brad Pitt move on from Cutting Class and Johnny Depp & Rob Morrow overcome the dreck that is Private Resort. Ya gotta start somewhere! <br /><br />I've seen snippets of Chopping Mall but slasher movies aren't my thing so I've never made it a point to watch the whole thing. Fun picks!<br /><br />I reached farther back for mine:<br /><br />Who’s Minding the Store? (1963)-Dog walker Norman (Jerry Lewis) loves the beautiful Barbara (Jill St. John) but Barbara’s from money, a fact Norman is unaware of. Her family owns a highly successful department store and her mother, Mrs. Tuttle (Agnes Moorehead) is determined to break them up. Norman goes to work in the store and tries to prove himself while Mrs. Tuttle’s minion, Mr. Quimby (Ray Walston) gives him ever more humiliating tasks. Typical Lewis comedy is a bit sweeter than usual and has a great cast.<br /><br />The Devil and Miss Jones (1941)-Annoyed to hear workers at one of his stores are trying to form a union the world's richest man John P. Merrick (Charles Coburn) decides to check it out for himself. Going incognito he gets a job there on the hunt for what he sees as troublemakers but discovers instead that the employee’s grips are legitimate when he befriends Miss Mary Jones (Jean Arthur), another worker at the store. In time Merrick ends up carrying the flag for the workers to be treated decently…and maybe has found a love of his own. Played for laughs but with an underlying serious social tone.<br /><br />Employees Entrance (1933)-Harsh pre-code tells the story of a soulless bastard (Warren William) and what he does as he ruthlessly oversees the running of a large department store during the depression. He thinks nothing of trading work for sexual favors, throwing people out of work who displease him, demeaning his employees sometimes to the point of suicide. A candid if unpleasant portrait of a contemptible man all the more vivid because of being produced just before the Hays Office would have made its production unthinkable.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-36666598840697031112016-06-16T08:03:03.033-04:002016-06-16T08:03:03.033-04:00You always pick the best sounding movies.
