some of the early talkie survive to become classic . 1929 the squall be a classic all right and but not in the way it be intend . melodramatic in story and acting and today it seem ludicrous and particularly the casting of myrna loy a nubi and a seductive gypsy . imagine nora charles break up a young couple and drive a young man to steal . outrageous . however and a many people know and when loy first come to hollywood and she do quite a few of these exotic seductress role . base on a play and the squall concern the aforementioned gypsy who in the film be now in hungary ( spain in the play ) run away from her cruel master and invite herself into the home of the lajos family ( richard tucker and alice joyce ) and basically by appear at the door . one by one and nubi seduces the men of the family and the farm talk her pidgin english ( nubi not bad . nubi do nothing wrong . ) and drop hint about nice present . the son in the family and paul ( carroll nye ) be engage to the beautiful irma ( loretta young ) and can not wait to marry her . he lose interest when he meet nubi . with the exception of the lovely alice joyce and zasu pitt a a woman who live in the household and the stunningly beautiful loretta young and the acting be uniformly awful . loy be stick with the hallmark of her character bad english and whining and hysteria . with her darkened makeup and peasant getup and curly hair and she be not only beautiful but right out of the 1980s quite modern and though richard tucker put the back of his hand on his forehead remind u be just emerge from the silents . robert osborne on tcm comment that this film be one of his secret pleasure . while it be deliciously bad and it not deliciously bad enough to sit through again . it just bad but a great example of how far we have come and and have someone not pick up on myrna loy sense of humor and how limited her wonderful career might have be .
