Republic raids an early Rko talkie for a fantastic special effects sequence, and you won’t believe how it’s repurposed — in a story about a TV personality (in 1939!) taking on a corrupt political mob. New York crumbles and is then washed away — sort of. It’s yet another resurfacing of a title that not long ago we couldn’t see to save our cinema-curious souls.

Andy Cohen openly admits to employing some uncouth house hunting tactics: He started scoping out the unit above his West Village apartment after hearing its elderly owner was ill.
“I began doing that creepy New York thing of asking, ‘How’s my neighbor?’” he admits in the October issue of Elle Décor. “Then the guy passed away, and my doorman and super were looking at me like I’d killed him.”
