Kay Strozzi in Captain Applejack (1930)

Review by SnoopyStyle

Captain Applejack

5/10

lost me with the pirates

It's the House of Applejohn on the storm-battered English coast. Ambrose is the last of the Applejohns and intends to sell the house that has been in the family for a hundred years. His ward Poppy Faire has an unrequited crush on him. Aunt Agatha is beside herself over the sale. Madame Anna Valeska comes out of a stormy night seeking shelter from the murderous Ivan Borolsky. Psychic Horace Pengard and Kate Pengard show up secretly looking for something inside the house.

It is a pre-Code American comedy. With the constant storm noises, this is set up for a spooky horror thriller. Instead, everybody is doing crazy accents and there are sexual shenanigans. It turns into a Scooby-Doo treasure hunt and then a pirate movie. This loses me during the unnecessary pirate section. The stormy night does feel like a play. I can see this being funnier even when they start doing the chasing around.
