Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Parachute Jumper is a 1933 film directed by Alfred E. Green.Bill Keller and "Toodles" Cooper (Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Frank McHugh) are Marine pilots exercising a little bit of American imperialism in Nicaragua. (The US actually did fight an undeclared war in Nicaragua in the late 1920s and early 1930s.). Bill and Toodles get shot down, and somehow make their way to a town where they are busy engaging in wine, women, and song when they are caught by military police. They are summarily drummed out of the Marine Corps.Cut to New York, where Bill and Toodles are looking for work and not finding it, and going hungry. They meet Pat "Alabama" Brent (Bette Davis), a secretary who is also out of work and also hungry (it's the Great Depression) and apparently considering hooking.Instead of hooking, Alabama moves in with Bill and Toodles. Bill starts getting jobs, although they are progressively sketchier: a parachute jumper, a chauffeur that is expected to sexually service the woman he works for, a body guard for a bootlegger named Weber, and finally, a pilot for Weber, smuggling liquor across the Canadian border.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Axe Before Entering: A sequence towards the end has the cops chopping down the door to Weber's office. Weber and Bill make their way out via secret passage, but Weber shuts the door to the passage in the face of Steve the mook, and Steve is shot when the police finish chopping down the door and break in. | |

All Women Are Lustful | |
| Parachute Jumper / int_e41a9801 | comment |
All Women Are Lustful: Mrs. Newberry, who hires Bill to be a chauffeur but is more interested in telling him to turn around while she can look at his torso, before she comes over and feels his bicep. She is giving Bill bedroom eyes non-stop in the scene where she invites him up to her room. He's clearly reluctant as he's in love with Alabama, but is apparently about to give in when Weber, Mrs. Newberry's lover, shows up. | |
