• Lloyds of London (1936)

  • 5/3/10

  Lloyds of London has that amazingly good production quality MGM was so well known for in the 1930’s. Freddie Bartholomew is one of the best child actors ever and is excellent. The supporting cast is wonderful - C. Aubrey Smith, Sir Guy Standing, Una O'Connor, Miles Mander, Montagu Love and George Sanders are all great. Superb atmosphere, outstanding art direction and costumes, the cinematography as well. A fine classic with notable early appearances by Tyrone Power and George Sanders.

• Incomplete Collection of 30's movies without this!

  The story is well told, even though it's loosely based on reality. This movie is never shown and not avilable for home collections.

• Great Movie

  Lloyds of London is the movie that helped inspire me to enter the insurance industry. It has everything - boyhood adventure, romance, technological innovation, history and business. Great acting by all involved, even down to the innkeeper. I like the use of the French language without subtitles, gives it a feel of authenticity. Much of the insurance info is/was correct: how Lloyds started, how a syndicate operates, the close relationship between a nation's economy and it's insurnace industry. Also listen close for the English drinking tune that was made into a somewhat well known church hymn.

  This is a FANTASTIC movie; black in white never looked so colorful ! Freddie was encomparable as a child actor in his heyday and Tyrone was the perfect choice for the lead. Please bring this movie out on DVD. It's been gone too long. Today's "seniors" would welcome it back, and the younger generation who have a propensity for black and white movies would appreciate and enjoy seeing it. . .too!

  I'd love to see this movie again. Perhaps when you do a Tyrone Power film festival you could include it as his first movie made for US.
