Naughty Marietta

Naughty Marietta (1935) more movies like this

directed by W.S. Van Dyke
featuring Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Frank Morgan, Elsa Lanchester, Douglas Dumbrille

The first of MGM's phenomenally profitable Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy musicals, Naughty Marietta takes several beneficial liberties with the libretto of the original Victor Herbert operetta. MacDonald plays an 18th-century French princess who escapes an arranged marriage by posing as a "cake girl," a mail-order bride sent to the New World to ...

Just after completing It Happened One Night, director Frank Capra churned out a bread-and-butter picture titled Broadway Bill.

The Princess Comes Across

The Princess Comes Across (1936) more movies like this

directed by William Howard
featuring Carole Lombard, Fred MacMurray, Douglas Dumbrille, Alison Skipworth, William Frawley

The 1936 comedy-mystery The Princess Comes Across might well have been inspired by a real-life incident during the silent-movie era, in which a crafty San Francisco stenographer hoodwinked the Hollywood elite into believing that she was a Spanish princess. Carole Lombard stars as an alluring Swedish beauty who travels under the name of Princess ...

Riders of the Whistling Pines

Riders of the Whistling Pines (1949) more movies like this

directed by Jon English
featuring Gene Autry, Patricia White, Jimmy Lloyd, Douglas Dumbrille, Damian O'Flynn

Gene Autry's second 1949 release for Columbia was Riders of the Whistling Pines. As was customary for Autry, the title refers to one of the songs heard in the film, rather than the plotline at hand. The villains busy themselves destroying all the timber in a government forest preserve. When Autry steps in to stop the bad guys, they cook up a frame ...

It's a Joke, Son! (1947) more movies like this

directed by Benjamin Stoloff
featuring Kenny Delmar, Una Merkel, June Lockhart, Douglas Dumbrille

Radio actor Kenny Delmar created the character of bombastic Southern Senator Claghorn for a 1945 installment of The Fred Allen Show. The character immediately caught on with the public, spawning an overabundance of merchandising and thousands of ersatz Claghorn imitators (foremost among these was the Warner Bros. cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn) ...

Blonde Savage

Blonde Savage (1947) more movies like this

directed by S.K. Seeley
featuring Leif Erickson, Gale Sherwood, Douglas Dumbrille, Frank Jenks, Matt Willis

Blonde Savage was directed by one "S. K. Seeley"-who at closer examination turns out to be Steve Sekely hiding behind an alias. The story is the old saw about a blonde white woman who is raised from infancy by a savage jungle tribe. This time, it's a girl named Meelah (Gale Sherwood) who resides as a goddess amongst an entourage of African natives ...

Lost in a Harem (1944) more movies like this

directed by Charles "Chuck" Riesner
featuring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Marilyn Maxwell, John Conte, Douglas Dumbrille

Lost in a Harem is arguably the best of Abbott & Costello's trio of MGM films; it's certainly the silliest, with any number of nonsensical plot twists and sidesplitting gags. This time, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello play Pete and Harvey, two American magicians stranded in a mythical Arabian Nights kingdom with songstress Hazel Moon (Marilyn Maxwell) ...

Under Nevada Skies (1946) more movies like this

directed by Frank McDonald
featuring Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Douglas Dumbrille

Republic's Under Nevada Skies blends equal parts music and action, resulting in a treat for fans of both. Roy Rogers stars as a wandering cavalier in search of valuable pitchblende deposits. Assisting Roy in his quest is "Queen of the West" Dale Evans and grizzled, dentally challenged Gabby Hayes. In this one, the Indians are the "good guys," ...

Rovin' Tumbleweeds (1939) more movies like this

directed by George Sherman
featuring Gene Autry, Smiley Burnette, Mary Carlisle, Douglas Dumbrille, William Farnum

While James Stewart was filibustering from his senator's pulpit in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Gene Autry battled congressional bureaucracy in Rovin' Tumbleweeds, which barely could call itself a Western. Gene runs for a congressional seat in order to pass a flood control bill that would save a group of dispossessed ranchers and farmers, ...

Alimony (1949) more movies like this

directed by Alfred Zeisler
featuring Martha Vickers, John Beal, Hillary Brooke, Douglas Dumbrille

One thing you can say about Alimony: It tackled a subject that virtually everyone in Hollywood was intimately familiar with.

She seeks out relationships with wealthy married men, gets them to leave their wives to marry her, ...

Air Hawks (1935) more movies like this

directed by Albert Rogell
featuring Ralph Bellamy, Wiley Post, Tala Birell, Douglas Dumbrille

Generous stock footage from such previous Columbia aviation epics as Flight and Dirigible helped to make Air Hawks (working title: Air Fury) seem more costly than it really was. Real-life pilot Wiley Post, who'd recently grabbed the headlines with his daring around-the-world flight, plays himself, while the acting relief is provided by Ralph ...
