UPDATE: Visit the actual blogathon post to access the entries.

When I posted the 4th anniversary celebratory post on this blog in November I made it a point to say I was swearing off blogathons in 2016. So, in keeping true to my word I’m announcing the third concurrent blogging event I’m co-hosting. You see, when writers and bloggers and fellow fans whose work and words I admire reach out to me I simply can’t say no as is the case here. Theresa Brown, blogger at CineMaven’s Essays From the Couch and a celebrity in our circles invited me to co-host a blogathon with her several months ago, but when she recently mentioned the intended topic, The films of 1932, I simply couldn’t resist and imagine you won’t be able to either.
Hot and Bothered is the order of the day and debauchery the sin of choice so turn on your fans and join us for this titillating event!
Given not only the Hotness of the topic at hand, but also its simplicity there’s really nothing to explain. Pick your title from the list of films released in 1932 (here’s a wikipedia list to get you started) and let us know!
Rules and Regulations:
- No duplicates or re-prints of past posts will be accepted. 1932 was a pretty big year for
movies so you should have no trouble picking a unique entry. Let’s represent 1932!! Chosen topics will be updated daily on this blog and on CineMaven’s Essays. You might do well by submitting a first and second choice just in case. First come, first serve. - You can submit your film choice in the comments section below, or over at CineMaven’s site.
- Please include your blog’s NAME and URL along with your film(s) of choice.
- Theresa and I will take turns hosting our blogathon. I will host all entries for Saturday, July 9th and Theresa will host those submitted for Sunday, July 10th. Let us know if you have a date preference. Otherwise we’ll split duties as entries come in.
- Help us spread the word by including one of the event banners included in this post on your blog and in your submission. All banners were designed by Theresa. I’m along for the ride.
- HAVE FUN!

Once upon a screen... 
Reblogged this on and commented:
Another hot blogathon to join!
THANKS for the reblog!
Morning Miss Aurora—
Giving you three in order of preference in case I’ve been closed out on any…
1) Grand Hotel
2) Blonde Venus
3) Beauty and the Boss
You know me: Lesley at Second Sight Cinema. secondsightcinema.com
A great blogathon idea, I see why you were coaxed out of blogathon retirement!
You’re the first to claim GRAND HOTEL so it’s yours!! Wooohooo!
“GRAND HOTEL.” With more stars than there are in the heavens. Looking forward to seeing you… reading your write-up on this great classic, Lesley.
Hello! Can I do Scarface? My twitter name is tracyhepburnfan
You’re in! One of my all-time faves! 🙂
“Scarface.” Ha…nothing pre-code about THAT one. ( Great choice! ~ Thanks for joining. )
Can I get 20,000 Years in Sing Sing? I mean to blog about 🙂
Lol. You’re gonna be mighty old when that stint is over!
so long as the movie doesn’t play in real time!
Kristina…the folks who got shut out of “Double Harness” at the film festival probably FELT like they spent 20,000 years in Sing Sing. Welcome and thanks for joining.
Haha! Good one. Thanks looking forward to it
Hello. I would love to do “Horse Feathers” please if that isn’t already taken. If it is, I would like “I was Born But…”
Great! You’re in! 🙂
Pillow Shots ~ I love your blog’s banner with the great Setsuko Hara. Nice. Hi…and welcome to our blogathon!
How about ‘Three on a Match’?
You got it! 🙂
My Gawd!!! “Three On A Match”??? It’s gettin’ hot in heeere! Thank you for joining our blogathon. Smells like 1932 up in here!
May I write about The Passionate Plumber?
You’re on!! 🙂
“The Passionate Plumber” WHEW! I’d love to read what he can do with a wrench and a plunger. I mean…err…welcome aboard. 😉
HAHA! Thank you so much! I think this might be the first blogathon where I may need some smelling salts 😉
Now see…THAT’s what I’m talkin’ about! Bring it on!!!
Hi Aurora. I’ll take “Red Dust” if it’s still available. I can’t think of a better example of Pre-Code.
Yes! YAY! That’s a must for 1932! Thanks, Crystal! 🙂
Love that film. I never thought of that before, but I stumbled across it when I was searching through my DVD shelf then.
It’s perfection in heat. 🙂 Glad you chose it!
It’s a steamy, sizzling Pre-Code. Love the dialogue in it too.
Oh yeah! By pre-code masters. 🙂
A true gem.
Crystal…for a second choice, I’d say you hit the jackpot. Now do Gable & Harlow proud. Thanks for joining in.
Wowza! I’d like to do “Beast of the City” and sure hope no one has snagged it before me.
caftanwoman.com
Gotcha! 😉
I don’t know the film. Look forward to reading it. Thanks again.
Hooray! Clever idea, ladies…or should I call you “complicated ladies”?
Ha! I’m as complicated as glass of water…but I’ll take it!
As might be expected from Carole & Co., I’ll write about a Lombard film. While I believe “Virtue” was the best movie she made in 1932, I’ve written extensively about it in the past (if someone wants to put their own spin on it, be my guest!), so this time I’ll focus on Carole’s other Columbia film from ’32, “No More Orchids.”
Wonderful!! 🙂
Vincent…thanks for joining the party. Folks…can we have too much Lombard? NO!!!! I’ll make sure to add this on my end.
Gave the blogathon a plug at http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/850298.html.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Many thanks, Vincent!!
I’ll take THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME.
You’re on! 🙂
Night Court
Great! 🙂
Dang, that filled up fast. All my first thoughts were taken, but I think I got it, Betty Boop shorts. As a character Betty Boop first appeared in various Fleischer Studios, Talkartoons in 1930 and 1931. in the early cartoons Betty was drawn as a cartoon dog. It wasn’t until 1932 that Betty Boop first appeared in her final form as a human. By 1932, she was starring in Talkarktoons and was given her own series of cartoons later that year. The idea is to cover several cartoons from 1932, depending on what I can find. I will definitely cover, Minnie the Moocher where she stars opposite an animated Cab Calloway.
LOVE that idea! Thanks, Chris. I’ll add you to the list in the morning.
How unique Chris. Thanks for joining!
surprised it’s not taken already, but The Sign of The Cross would be fun to write on.

Hi! Great fun! I’d like to do NIGHT WORLD, with Lew Ayres & Boris Karloff, for Phantom Empires…at the new URL:

You’re on the list! My response in comments woes continue, but Theresa caught your entry! Thanks and can’t wait to read it. 🙂

I may be a little late but I’d like to write about “Scarlet Dawn” from 1932 if it’s not too late! It’s a romance drama starring Fairbanks, Jr., and Nancy Carroll.
I replied to you, but don’t see my reply so just in case – YES!!! Fantastic! Thanks for joining the fun. 🙂

Thanks!
Thanks!!
I just went to write my review and discovered that Night Nurse is 1931. I don’t have time to watch another film and write a review, so I’m going to have to bow out.
Ok. No worries. We’ll collaborate in another event soon no doubt. 🙂
