Destination Tokyo

Destination Tokyo (1943) more movies like this

directed by Delmer Daves
featuring Cary Grant, John Garfield, Alan Hale, Dane Clark, John Ridgely

Though its purely propagandastic aspects are never far from surface, Destination Tokyo must rank as one of the most intelligent and objective of wartime thrillers. Cary Grant is a tower of strength as Captain Cassidy, skipper of an American submarine bound for Tokyo harbor. Its mission: to allow a Navy meterologist to survey Japanese weather ...

Santa Fe Trail

Santa Fe Trail (1940) more movies like this

directed by Michael Curtiz
featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Raymond Massey, Ronald Reagan, Alan Hale

Santa Fe Trail, Errol Flynn's third western, has precisely nothing to do with the titular trail. Instead, the film is a simplistic retelling of the John Brown legend, with Raymond Massey playing the famed abolitionist. The events leading up to the bloody confrontation between Brown and the US Army at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, are treated in a ...

This Is the Army

This Is the Army (1943) more movies like this

directed by Michael Curtiz
featuring George Murphy, Joan Leslie, Ronald Reagan, Alan Hale, George Tobias, Charles Butterworth, Julie Oshins

The splashy, star-studded This is the Army is based on the Irving Berlin Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was a reworking of Berlin's WW1 "barracks musical" Yip Yip Yaphank. In both instances, the cast was largely comprised of genuine servicemen, many of them either recently returned from fighting or on the verge of heading off to ...

The Man in the Iron Mask

The Man in the Iron Mask (1939) more movies like this

directed by James Whale
featuring Louis Hayward, Joan Bennett, Joseph Schildkraut, Alan Hale, Warren William

Man in the Iron Mask is independent producer Edward Small's 1939 edition of the much-filmed Dumas classic.

Stella Dallas

Stella Dallas (1937) more movies like this

directed by King Vidor
featuring Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley, Barbara O'Neil, Alan Hale

Produced by Sam Goldwyn, this second film version of Olive Higgins Prouty's Stella Dallas is by far the best. The combined talents of Goldwyn, director King Vidor and star Barbara Stanwyck lift this property far above the level of mere soap opera. Stanwyck is perfectly cast as Stella Martin, the loud, vulgar factory-town girl who snares wealthy ...

The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex

The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939) more movies like this

directed by Michael Curtiz
featuring Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Vincent Price, Donald Crisp, Alan Hale

It is no secret that Bette Davis and Errol Flynn were at each other's throats throughout the filming of The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. Boiled down to essentials: Davis felt that Flynn was unprofessional, while Flynn thought that Davis took herself too damn seriously. Besides, Davis had wanted Laurence Olivier to play the Earl of Essex ...

Gentleman Jim

Gentleman Jim (1942) more movies like this

directed by Raoul Walsh
featuring Errol Flynn, Alexis Smith, Jack Carson, Alan Hale, John Loder

Maybe Errol Flynn was never the war hero that he often played, but he was a capable boxer, and Gentleman Jim makes full use of this skill. Flynn stars as Jim Corbett, the 19th-century American pugilist who introduced "scientific" methods to bare-knuckle boxing. Originally an office clerk, Corbett is introduced to the then-illegal sport of fighting ...

Gilligan's Island [TV Series] (1964) more movies like this

No one liked Gilligan's Island but the public. Roundly condemned by critics as the worst sitcom in TV history when it first signed on the CBS schedule in the fall of 1964, the weekly half-hour series nonetheless struck a responsive chord with the viewing public, who were thoroughly amused and delighted by the premise of seven diverse personalities ...

Two of MGM's top juvenile stars, Judy Garland and Freddie Bartholomew, team up for the otherwise unremarkable Listen, Darling.

The Fighting 69th (1940) more movies like this

directed by William Keighley
featuring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, George Brent, Jeffrey Lynn, Alan Hale

Officially, America had no intention of entering the Second World War in 1940: Why, then, were there so many "preparedness" pictures like The Fighting 69th? This film, based on the experiences of military priest Father Duffy (Pat O'Brien), is set during World War I. The US 69th division was a national guard contingent comprised of Irish Americans, ...

Action in the North Atlantic (1943) more movies like this

directed by Lloyd Bacon
featuring Humphrey Bogart, Raymond Massey, Ruth Gordon, Alan Hale, Julie Bishop

Action in the North Atlantic is solid wartime propaganda with a rather endearing inner lining of left-wing politics, courtesy (no doubt) of scenarist John Howard Lawson, who based his screenplay on a novel by maritime specialist Guy Gilpatric. While running war goods to America's Russian allies, a merchant marine ship captained by Raymond Massey ...

The Strawberry Blonde (1941) more movies like this

Strawberry Blonde is the second, and by far the most well-regarded, of the three film versions of James Hogan's play One Sunday Afternoon. James Cagney stars as Biff Grimes, a turn-of-the-century dentist married to onetime suffragette Amy Lind (Olivia de Havilland). A former convict, Biff has great difficulty keeping his temper--and when alderman ...

Previously filmed with Lillian Gish in 1926, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter was given a remarkably faithful treatment by low-budget Majestic Pictures in 1934. In her last film appearance, Colleen Moore stars as 17th-century Salem resident Hester Prynne, who when she delivers a child out of wedlock is forced by the prudish townspeople to ...

The True Story of Jesse James (1957) more movies like this

directed by Nicholas Ray
featuring Robert Wagner, Jeffrey Hunter, Hope Lange, Agnes Moorehead, Alan Hale, Jr.

Actually, this retelling of the life of outlaw Jesse James is only as true as its predecessor, the highly fanciful 1939 Tyrone Power-Henry Fonda starrer Jesse James. Generous chunks of stock footage from the earlier film are reused here, albeit reframed to accommodate the CinemaScope process. Robert Wagner makes an interesting James, though he is ...

It turns out that Pip's ...
