Saucy Pre-Code Banter In "Mystery Of the Wax Museum" (1933) (video)




Glenda Farrell is a delight as wisecracking girl reporter Florence Dempsey.

Frank McHugh is her long-suffering editor, who fires her at least once a day.

Fay Wray is Florence's beautiful roommate, a hopeless romantic.

And sometimes they get up to things that are just a bit, well, pre-code.


I neither own nor claim any rights to this material.  Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!

Love that Glenda! Fay Wray was pretty swell, too. Glenda's son, Tommy Farell was a prolific bit player for decades
and always had a few ilnes. He played the assistant director in SINGIN IN THE RAIN, and the elevator operator i
n NORTH BY NORTHWEST, etc.
