A repeat setup in every episode of The Mitchell and Webb Situation (2001)
is background shots of three classic movie posters of really obscure movies on the wall:
Sutter's Gold (1936)
Shady Lady (1945)
The Magnificent Brute (1936)
I sure haven't seen them and they seem pretty obscure, they all have
reviews on imdb.com. Shady Lady seems funny, but hard to tell.
I guess they aren't public domain, so that makes them hard to see.
The reviews say how Sutter's Gold is loose with the facts about the historical John Sutter, and I'm familiar with that sort of movie
treatment, for example three movies that claim to be Jack London.
Jack London (1943) is a bio-pic that sounds like it has some accurate
quotes from his books, but veers way out of the facts about Jack London. Martin Eden (1942) has nothing to do with that book or about Jack London other than an author/sailor is involved and there's another movie I
forgot the title of that has something like radium mines in the sub-arctic, something Jack London didn't mention in his stories, that I remember.
took me only a second to find two of them,,,
Sutter's Gold (1936)
The Magnificent Brute (1936)
