The Greeks Had a Word for Them - Full Movie - OK QUALITY (1932)
The Greeks Had a Word for Them (1932), also known as Three Broadway Girls, is a pre-Code comedy film directed by Lowell Sherman, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, and released by United Artists. It stars Joan Blondell, Madge Evans, and Ina Claire and is based on the play The Greeks Had a Word for It by Zoë Akins. The studio originally wanted actress Jean Harlow for the lead after her success in Red-Headed Woman (1932), but she was under contract to Howard Hughes, and he refused to loan her out. The movie served as inspiration for films like Three Blind Mice (1938), Moon Over Miami (1941), and How to Marry a Millionaire (1953).

Helen Walker was married to Cornell Wilde from 1937-1951 good looking couple. Watch Shock proof both in that movie in 1949. Suspense full of twist & turns. 5 *****
Classic
Im so glad to have seen Emily Dickinson act in real life
Democrats are the kings of gaslighting.
So many people use the term "gaslighting" every chance they get, obviously without a clue what it really implies.
But did she find her dog?
I'm so glad I watched this version first. Because watching the new one is not as good as the original in my opinion. And I'm glad i saw the original first
We need the John Doe movement now ...the people
Thank u i needed this
Reminds me of when they shut off George Wallace sound twice when he was soeaking n running for Presidend all voices must b heard in this country. God b with us all

Edward Arnold wasnt anything like DBNorton he was head of Screen Actors Guild n Dad heard him at Afl Cio convention when they vited to merge
Edward Arnold was a v great avtor hated him n meet John Doe loved him in Wednesdays Child it takes a great avtor to bring out emitions like this
On préfère de loin la version avec l'exellent Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman sans oublier Joseph Cotten.
Ok do im corney n olde fashioned but i believe in the principles espoused n this film snd Its a wonderful life and Mr Deeds Goes to Town. Beautiful gilms and its not too late
Ok watching this really hit home. It hurt, even.
Fine movie! Thank you.
N italiano come si fa ad averlo?
Mi sa che non c'è. Non trovo nemmeno quello successivo in lingua italiana, "Angoscia". Non capisco questo copyright a vita, o forse si! serve a mantenere anche i pronipoti di chi lo detiene.
Been there
It's unfortunate that Hollywood stopped writing and producing films of this nature. Thanks for showing people what real movies were and why they're now called "Classics"!👌👌👌
Here to watch my reality 😢😢😢
Thank you for posting this movie. Well worth the watch!
Here because of @charliekirk and because Trump/Elon broke X
Another great job by Edmund O'Brien.
How does one recover from this torture??

Nosy neighbors and bitty old Aunts. I’d be completely addled.
Great movie 7/31/24
How events can escalate could be the moral of this story. However, along the way of the storyline there was a great cast, and their performance was worth the price of the ticket to view. I am not necessarily a fan of Mickey Rooney, but good acting does need to be recognize.
Fantastic movie! so well written, funny & exciting. Usually I know how plot will unfold, but this one was full of surprises. Unlike current movies that are so predictable.
George Cole was brilliant in this as a young Lad.
its bad ive been abused like this alot the evan have used this to put me n jail a few times
people have been using gaslighting to abuse n put me n jail for years glad to have seen this movie
Sad estate built on the location with a giant bust that looks like buddah but meant to be Hitchcock most residents never heard of G Cole A Sim sir J Mills or anyone connected to UK film or Music Ind or most of our history but know about benifit system and entitlements.You wont find a Smith or Jones or Murphy .
This was so cool!
Stunning film. Deeply moving with two beautiful actors.
anyone ever see alastair sim in a kilt?
I think Loretta Young was in every scene in this movie. It must have been exhausting, especially the way she had to show fear/terror most of the way. Billy wouldda been better with a mouthful of cookies. TY!
This chapter in my syallabus 😊😊
They are worried about safety and all kinds of random people are wandering around the place with doors left open and whatnot. LOL. Soulds like Mar a Lago under Trump.
The Watchtower played by Paul Mallen , The other sheep, depicted by Bella Mallen. If you know you know.
really true….. the manipulation , gaslighting are the traits of narcissistic personality disorder. relationship with a Narcissist man is like that you feel the Hell on Earth. Even you doubt on yourself that may that’s your mistake or you did something wrong with him.but the reality is opposite because with this gaslighting trick He blames on you whatever mishap doing with you or him. i felt that experience in which i start blame on myself.
I'm sorry, most of these people talk so fast this country girl can't understand them.
Good movie! Twilight Zone vibes at the beginning. Thank you.
Hi I LOOOVED HER GAFFES! The best one was intoducing John Mills as the RFA pilot! LOL!
I love it when he goes mad and says "The Rooobies", mad as ol' Renfield in Dracula.
