I want to live in the 20s & 30s. What TV / movies should I watch?
March 20, 2013 7:44 AM
I've been completely absorbed in British fiction from the 1920s & 30s lately - mostly of the snappy, witty detective variety: Georgette Heyer, Dorothy Sayers, Agatha Christie. I've also read and adored the incomparable Wodehouse and Nancy Mitford. Now, the question is, what should I watch that will scratch this same itch for sparkling conversation, sophistication, romance and great clothes? I'm open both to original time period stuff and well done more contemporary versions of the period. If it's streaming on Netflix or Amazon, I can watch it.
I'll go a couple decades up or down, too. For example, I love Edith Pargeter / Ellis Peters, even though she's more 40s - 60s and I completely loved Upstairs/Downstairs and Downton Abbey, although their focus is more the teens. And I'm not anti- American - if there's American fiction or movies out there that I'd like, by all means bring them on. It's just that all the stuff I've read from that period in the US tends to be so much darker and heavier - Hammett et. al. Dark is not what I want here. No, what I need is lightness, wit, the clink of glasses, dancing and maybe a dead body or two but nothing gory. Also, bonus points for more reading: are there other authors I should discover?

Bright Young Things, directed by Stephen Fry:
An adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel "Vile Bodies," is a look into the lives of a young novelist, his would-be lover, and a host of young people who beautified London in the 1930s.

For "original time period stuff" I quite enjoyed Hitchcock's Blackmail, one of the first "talkies", as well as Sabotage from a few years later. I think I got them both through Netflix.
If you'd like to try something set a few decades earlier a contemporary BBC series Bramwell is good, about a Victorian lady doctor, also on Netflix.

The BBC made a very good serialisation of Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End last year. It has nominally been compared with Downton Abbey, but it's better and less soap opera-y. It's just won a heap of awards voted for by TV critics here in the UK. It was adapted by Tom Stoppard. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall, who are both excellent.

I've been reading my way through Barbara Cleverly's two mystery series - one starts in India with a book called The Last Kashmiri Rose and goes through France and back to England over the series. It features a male British WWI vet, now policeman. The other series I've just started. It features a female archaeologist and, at least the first novel (The Tomb of Zeus), is set in Crete.
The Miss Fisher series of mystery novels by Kerry Greenwood is pretty great although the main character gets a little too perfect/modern.
Vile Bodies is also a great book.

If you're taking book suggestions too, I've been reading the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. Maisie is a clever detective in London in the early 1930's. They're light, but very good. Beach reads for people who would rather be in a museum than on a beach. I enjoy them for both the characterization as well as the world in which she lives.
Read the first one first, though. I think it's just called Maisie Dobbs. The other books will make more sense if you know her backstory.

Are you interested in radio drama at all? You might like Paul Temple and Steve.
Here's a YouTube clip of one episode from The VanDyke Affair as a sample.
He's a mystery writer, she (for yes! Steve is a lady!) was a Fleet Street reporter and THEY FIGHT CRIME. Or, rather, mostly what they do is visit hotel bars, spend several minutes ordering drinks when they should be looking for clues, get the windshield of their car shot out by bandits, buy a pair of gloves or perhaps a smart hat, stop for another pink gin, stumble across a body or three, have dinner with a German and a Welshman (who are probably being voiced by the same actor doing various ridiculous accents), and then finally get down to figuring out what the heck is going on about 5 episodes later.
Most of the serials are 6-8 30 minute episodes long and the last one is pretty much always a cocktail party which all the characters are tricked into attending so the culprits can be unmasked. The stories are ludicrous and the mysteries so convoluted that they're almost nonsensical but they're funny and very charming.
Several voice actors did Paul & Steve but the best were Peter Coke and Marjorie Westbury (her voice is HEAVEN), who had that perfect Thin Man-esque chemistry. Luckily most of the surviving serials feature them anyway. The recordings are from the 50s and 60s (along with a few modern remakes) but they have an "Oh look dear, a telegram from Scotland Yard!" tone that could place them at almost any time in the first half of the century.
Oh and BONUS: the theme song, "Coronation Scot," is totally marvelous.

Another mystery series is by Rhys Bowen and starts with A Royal Pain. About a broke member of the royal family who is sent around solving crimes for the queen.
The first Maisie Dobbs book is Birds of a Feather, I believe. I liked the series okay but got frustrated by the lack of growth by the main character (and her modern ways (and oh, god, just pick a guy and I don't care who you marry or even if you do, go back to solving crimes)).

A slightly more modern mystery writer to look at would be Sarah Caudwell, who wrote four mystery novels in the 80s and 90s. They're epistolary novels that mostly consist of faxes (telexes even? Although honestly I don't even know what a telex is/was) and letters exchanged between a group of barristers as they get caught up in "cozy" mysteries generally involving international tax evasion plots. They're written in a dry, humorous style with the sort of arch situational comedy that owes a lot to Wodehouse; the main character is one Hilary Tamar, whose gender is never revealed; and the book covers were by the inimitable Edward Gorey. The first in the series is Thus Was Adonis Murdered.

Oh yes of course, and I thought my mention of faxes would make that clear...I meant more that they might be a match in the style of comedy, because they're books where manners, education level, & social class are at the forefront of character interaction. And although the sexual mores are relatively modernized, the characters otherwise all act as if they stepped out of a 30s screwball.

Someone mentioned Jerome K. Jerome's very funny "Three Men in a Boat (to Say Nothing of the Dog)," and to that I would add "To Say Nothing of the Dog," the Hugo- and Locus-Award-Winning novel by Connie Willis, a followup to her excellent book "Doomsday Book." Both books are set in British Universities (Oxford for Dog, Cambridge for Doomsday) in which the history departments possess a particularly effect research tool-- a somewhat fussy time-machine. In "Dog," a burnt-out historian is sent back to 1890s Coventry for an artifact-finding milk-run to relax himself after a harrowing trip.
The style of many of Willis's books, though obviously containing a sci-fi premise, is actually more of a manners comedy, and if you like Wodehouse, you'll probably like the incrementally less satirical but still amusing Willis. She's clearly got an advanced case of Anglophilia, she keeps the SF elements nice and soft so they don't ruin a good read with a ton of exposition and technicalities, and you'll get behind her characters in no time.

Lots of good suggestions including the Screwball Comedies. Bringing Up Baby is my all time favorite, and definitely the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, particularly The Gay Divorcee and Top Hat. Re Hitchcock - The 39 Steps and Young and Innocent are both fun. You also might try the mysteries of Josephine Tey. They are set a bit later than your target dates, but still worth checking out. I would also give the fantasy novel Bride of the Rat God a try. It's set in 1920's Hollywood and is a hoot.

This is not strictly adhering to the terms of your request because it's the wrong time period, but I adore so many of the works mentioned on this page, as well as in your OP, so I just wanted to say that if you've not read any Georgette Heyer, I think you'd love her. She mostly sets her romance novels in the Regency (though I believe her mystery novels, though not as good, are set in the 20s and 30s). Perfectly witty and light, extremely well-written. My own preference to start would be The Grand Sophy.

The Thin Man movies (The Thin Man, After the Thin Man, Another Thin Man, Shadow of the Thin Man, The Thin Man Goes Home, Song of the Thin Man) are exactly what you're looking for in terms of snappy, witty detectives. Lots of martini-clinking, too. Only the first three were made in the '30s, but you'd have to look awfully hard to see much difference in the 1940s ones.
Also, though it doesn't hit the detective criterion, I highly recommend Paper Moon. It's one of those post-Bonnie&Clyde dustbowl movies, but don't let that put you off; it's not one of the violent and depressing ones.
