while i do not understand how in 1932 a movie could be make sympathize with the bolshevik revolution of 1917 and i do understand that scarlet dawn be a pre code film . like most movie make between 1928 and 1934 ( six of the best year in moviemaking and if you ask me ) and the lighting and set and and photography be flawless . the print that be on video have perfect sound and picture quality . the costume be delightfully ornate . doug jr. a nikita krasnoff be perfect and probably because he be the only actor on the warner lot in 1932 with enough sex appeal to get away with what he get away with in the movie ( i. e. sexual harassment ) . nancy carroll be his faithful servant and and later on in the film and wife . lilyan tashman play a gossipy and scheming and glamour gal mistress . while lil and nan sort of steal the show and their talent be slightly waste . it doug who really captivate throughout and and consider how absolutely luscious he look and the already short movie ( just under an hour ) fly by effortlessly . scarlet dawn be underrated and but extremely interesting and and the vintage 1917 war footage be a cute touch .
