Laughing Sinners

A lot of interesting bits in this. O'Henry bars in 1931?! Reference to the Fresh Air taxi? Acting very good throughout, especially Neil Hamilton who was a real sleazeball. Joan Crawford, who I was never a big fan of, was very pretty, certainly better thas in "This Modern Age" (same year) and almost to her Lucille La Seur standards. The 2nd half was better than the 1st, but they, as was common then, always ended the movie too abruptly. Most revealing was the scene early on in which a bunch of kids were playing in the park, boys & girls. Some were black some were white. Then the religious right and their Code came along after which blacks were only portrayed as servants, buffoons and dullards.
