thx for posting! spencer tracy- one of the greats in whatever he appeared. All those top notch like cagney, gable, davis, bogart, hepburn, edwrd g rob, stewart , wayne, bergman, dehav, flynn and so many others gone nver to be replaced. today, no dialogue, kill kill and low class movies for a lamebrain populace.

Beautiful movie . I loved it , great actors.

Man, that had me getting choked up at the end. Spencer Tracy's character, Smoothie, was so sweet and self-sacrificing.

Fun movie! Great acting all around, Spence in particular is such a charmer!

This 1934 Fox Studio comedy musical has a number of surprises for trivia fans. Not only can willowy then blonde Lucille Ball be spotted on occasion in her showgirl, pre-Lucy days, by if you keep your eyes really peeled at about 1 hr.:08 you will get a glimpse of the diminutive comic actor and singer, Teddy Hart, brother of the great lyricist Larry Hart, who a few years later cast his sibling as one of the twins in the Broadway musical comedy hit, “The Boys from Syracuse.” The English ingénue, Pat Paterson, seen here as Wanda, had a brief acting career, but was the long time wife of loner Charles Boyer who committed suicide a few days after her death forty four years later in 1978. The Jewish comedian, Harry Green, who-inside joke-bore a striking resemblance to David Selznick, plays the role of the nervous producer, Lewis Wolf. Spencer Tracey, despite having appeared in 16 pictures for Fox in 5 years, did not achieve star status until he moved on to MGM the year after this picture was made.

Very knowledgeable sir..thanks for that😊

I can honestly say that I/We don't know what we would do without these movies. Leona and I have an "Emergency Preparedness Kit" that contains; Med's, Water, dehydrated food, cans, bandages, personal hygiene items, can opener and hunting knife and washing water, and last BUT NOT LEAST, a Zip Drive loaded with about 80 to 200 black and white classic movies plus another handful of premade classic movie DVD's (we still need to buy a minidvd player with tv turner and emergency broadcast frequency radio built in) along with id and antibiotic ointments, bleach, hydrogen peroxide and more drinking water and Tang Vitamin C Drinking Crystals and Starbucks instant coffee that can be mixed with cold water for emergency ice coffee! Just don't forget those classic movies and we'll survive! Thanks ever so very much to all of you who take the time to upload these so important classic movies with little or no violence, minor sex, great acting, great camera work, great editing, sound, and great stories with great direction!

Gordon Welke thank you

really wonderful film - the quality of the many skits, jokes, dances, even the songs - just pure entertainment old school

Enjoyed it. In these movies plot is so good you don't know till the end " who done it"!

Pat Paterson, the female lead, was married to Charles Boyer. Their married lasted until her death. He was so despondent, he took his own life.

"Waitin' At The Gate For Katie"...great song! I have an old 16mm home-movie cartoon with this song (different lyrics) sung by...would you believe...a trio of singing gas pumps, and never knew where it originally came from until now!

Howard Jackson wrote the music for this film and many others. His work was featured in "It Happened One Night" , "Twentieth Century", "You're in the Army Now" and many others. However, often Jackson went uncredited. His career started in his twenties and spanned until his last film in 1962.

as of now, june 2013, i have seen just over 40,300 movies and i just discovered youtube has full movies. bottoms up is a movie i had never found on tv, netflix, or interlibrary loans. i have no idea where you got it, but thank you very much for finding it and for uploading it.

The 'ice cream blonde'.

According to IMDB, Lucille Ball appears (uncredited) as a "chorine" in this movie. She had appeared in about fifteen previous movies (in 1933 and 1934), almost all of them without her name appearing in the credits. She really had to "pay her dues" before becoming well known.

Excellent!

Wow the ending. Wasn't expecting that.

How all b&w movies used to look and sound on TV.

LOVE all the old movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood and love Spencah but this seriously needs to be re-mastered, too dark!

Really enjoyed this movie. Thanks!

Beautiful girl..

Seems no electricity in that apartment or whatever it is. Battery powered radios didn’t exist in the early thirties, I think. Tube technology required a/c power until sometime in the forties and was expensive for what you got.

Another Fox film that disappeared for a while due to the 1937 NJ vault fire, in spite of an apparent re-issue. The ending shot looks REALLY abrupt, as if they hadn't really finished the film. Didn't Tracy and his pals deserve a happier ending?

Great to watch this movie and fun to see a few short shots (on 32:06 35:27 en 1:11:23 ) of the young Lucille Ball in her Goldwyn (Girls) days!

Tracy charm radiates

Boles' voice is better than in "Desert Song " days 1929 five years earlier: perhaps that is due to sound on film versus sound on disc in earlier days.

A re-release, with the opening credits badly edited. Twentieth Century didn't merge with Fox Film until 1935, so I'll assume this was one of William Fox's final films.

Cameo for Louie b Mayer

OK, now that I've actually watched the whole thing, I see that Thelma Todd had a supporting role in this one... but curiously, her name does not appear in the opening credits, which is why i reacted the way i did, below... Oh, and I believe there's a Lucille Ball spotting at 32:06.

The opening credits look like they were for a re-issue, and Todd's name was probably not used in the new credits.

"Bottoms Up" a 20th Century Fox movie? What's wrong with the opening title. Since this movie was from 1934, 20th Century Fox wasn't used until 1935 when Darryl Zanuck took over after merging Fox from 20th Century Pictures.
