William Powell and Margaret Lindsay in “Private Detective 62” (1933)
In a curious case of recycling, the opening few minutes of this film is exactly like “Calling Philo Vance” (1940)—a spy getting caught in a European country, deported on a cargo ship, ordered returned for further trial before escaping and jumping into New York harbor.
The stories are completely different after that and the opening is pretty much irrelevant to the later story in both cases.

Great showcase of US political liberalism as a commonsense position (see the New Deal), later demonized as too radical. And the humor! See also everything with #CaroleLombard, and the #ThinMan films in particluar for #WilliamPowell. (Just gushing not trying to be an explainer here). :heart_cyber:

I may or may not have had a couple of these while watching My Man Godfrey.
Hadn’t seen it in ages, and it’s as fantastic as ever. Really glad not to have watched anything Oscar nominated tonight.
