Transatlantic (1931)
8/10
Myrna Loy
14 January 2023
Transatlantic is a must for Myrna Loy fans. Myrna spelled Mirna here plays Kay Graham the wife of crooked banker Henry ( John Halliday). I know Myrna is only 6th in the credits ( Edmond Lowe ( Monty Greer) is the main star)), but she is the reason I have looked for years for this film. She actually plays a good woman here ( rare for any pre-Thin Man role), and finding any Pre MGM Loy film is extremely difficult, so seeing this film on OK. RU is a treat. The main woman in this movie is Lois Moran ( Judy Kramer), who does nothing for me ( except look Pretty ( although not in the Myrna Loy Class, but still better then Greta Nissen's character Sigrid Carline)). One highlight is the ending which I did not expect, but works very well, so I will not spoil. This movie was one of the Top 10 existing films that eluded me, so thank you to OK. RU for making it available. I give it 8/10 stars. Mostly for Myrna but for a very well done ending.
