Barbara Stanwyck Question

Does anyone have a vid of Ladies of Leisure B&W 1930 starring Barbara Stanwyck and if so would you please upload it to YouTube or let me know where I can find it. Thanks!

I watched this movie late last night & I'm so impressed. Barbara would have been 22 or 23 when filming Ladies of Leisure. What an amazing performance! The story is still very important in today's society. Unlike the desription of the movie in our local tv guide which said 'a Broadway golddigger is confronted my her wealthy lover's mother' something like that - so very untrue! That's not the story at all! Barbara plays a 'party girl' which is a way of saying 'prostitute'. This pre-code movie is very honest, well written and very emotional. Barbara cries in several scenes & believe me, it's heartwrenching. She falls in love with an artist who is the son of a wealthy railroad tycoon. Obviously, she is not accepted by the artist's parents...a relevant story about the differences in social classes. Awesome movie!!!

It was on TCM a couple of weeks ago and I recorded about 80% of it, but the audio was turned down too low ( I use my DVD recorder for a tuner and I recorded it onto a video tape). If I can clean up the sound I will at least try to download clips onto Youtube here in the near future.
I am head over heals for Barbara Stanwyck and would love to have everything she ever did.
One good way to get pics of her and other people of interest is to download the 1.9 version of cool iris at cooliris.com . If you have not played with it yet you will be blown away at how fast you can see images and data on your computer. It's essentially a wall of scrolling images that you can control the speed of them going by with your mouse. I happen to have Windows XP and so the 1.9 version works very smooth withh the cooliris program. If you have a newer computer then you can download the latest version. This is not a plug for this software as much as it is a suggestion for how you can find what you are looking for- it even will let you search your own computer for info. I've found youtube videos faster with cool iris too.
Good luck!

Wow - great pic of Barbara here and thanks for the answer to my question! I tried to record Ladies of Leisure a couple of weeks ago with timer and it didn't record - machine is old or I didn't set it right, don't know. I'll check those pics, I have XP. Thanks if you upload the movie vids!
