This movie is wild in so many ways.  Can't believe I've never seen it or even heard much about  it before. If you get a chance, watch it, or at least the Shanghai Lil number at the end.

Ruby Keeler is all of a sudden Chinese! It is a crazy film! where Cagney and Blondel are running wild! Dick Powell is playing himself again! All the musical numbers are at the end of the movie! I'm using too many exclamation points!!!!

It cries out for exclamation points.  ( I restrained myself-- once I started I knew I'd never stop.)  Yes, Ruby Keeler, surrounded by  prostitutes and an opium den, but it ends with the  Stars & Stripes and FDR.

Little known factoid.  To promote the film, RKO Studios actually built 73 so-called "Dream Houses" across the country.  Some of them were sold by raffle.  One is located in Cedar Hills, Oregon which is about ten miles from where I live.  I've driven by it many times.

The Boy Who Found Gold. A documentary on Fr. William Hart McNichols, who is a Catholic priest and also one of America's preeminent icon writers. Very interesting, clearly a person who is very spiritual and a great artist. Watched on Amazon Prime.

The Boy Who Found Gold” looks at unlikely art fame of William Hart ...

Caught the last part of The Hot Rock today. I’ve seen it several times. What a cast: Mostel, Redford, George Segal, Ron Leibman, Moses Gunn. Terrific

IIRC it's Donald Westlake via Bill Goldman.   Hard to beat that combination.   And Peter Yates was a pretty good director.
