Something

It is apparently international Day of the Dog, which by curious coincidence is what I am as sick as.

Here is some nice 30s typography from Michael Powell’s charming quota quickie SOMETHING ALWAYS HAPPENS.

More tomorrow.

Edited by Warners’ Ralph Dawson! I wonder if they sent him out to the UK for the gig or just had the reels shipped to Hollywood?

I suspect the latter — if Dawson had cut a bunch of British films around this time it’d make sense to believe he was sent to the UK, but he didn’t. The film has a lovely Warners pace, and Brock Williams’ script makes each scene cue the next in a way that’s almost Langian, and contributes greatly to the sense of rush.

That is beautiful lettering.

We have lost so much in this all digital era.

Thank you!
