A few more from Lionel Atwill day on TCM:
Rendevous (1935) William Powell as a WWI soldier who just happened to have written a book on cryptography under a false name. He meets a woman I thoght she was Myrna Loy, but was
Rosalind Russell & trying to get a kiss from her, spills the secret, & ends up behind a desk in DC, instead of in France. But enemy spies abound & things happen. Good, better than just good spy film. Lionel Atwill is RR's uncle and works in the Army Intel dept that now employs WP.
Absolute Quiet (1936) Lionel Atwill as a guy whose Dr. advised him to go to the country and have absolute quiet for has nerves' sake. So he is in his ranch home, & just about everybody drops in for the night. A Bonny & Clyde type couple, an airplane full of people he would rather not see, including the Governor, reporters, etc. Witty dialog from LA, as his character seemed to enjoy irking the others.
The Firebird (1934) Lionel Atwill as the husband of one seduced woman, & the father of another.
Ricardo Cortez, as the seducer of various women, who uses Stravinsky's Firebird to indicate to them when to come to his apartment. Oh, that dog was indeed the Thin Man's Asta! Wikipedia does have a page for it (named Skippy), but it does not link to the page for the Firebird! or is it that the page for FB does not link to the one for the dog?
I know I have seen VL's
The Seventh Victim, but it was several years ago; likely during TCM's annual month of horror films. I may have seen it just once, which explains why I remember no details.
What I don't understand, nothing particular to the film, but how VL who merely produced films, had so much influence over them. While as I recall, William Castle, was so devastated that direction of Rosemary's Baby was snatched from him, and he was just the producer.
