1	The Student Prince (1954) more movies like this directed by Richard Thorpe featuring Ann Blyth, Edmund Purdom, John Ericson, Louis Calhern, Edmund Gwenn Edmund Purdom plays Prince Karl, but Mario Lanza sings the bold tunes coming out of Purdom's mouth, in this MGM remake of the 1927 Ernst Lubitsch silent picture based on the renowned 1924 operetta by Sigmund Romberg and Dorothy Donnelly, which itself was based on the novel and play by Wilhelm Meyer-Foerster.

William Powell is a tower of comic strength as Clarence Day, the benevolent despot of his 1880s New York City household. Irene Dunne co-stars as Day's wife Vinnie, who outwardly has no more common sense than a butterfly but who ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
4	Pride and Prejudice (1940) more movies like this directed by Robert Z. Leonard featuring Greer Garson, Laurence Olivier, Mary Boland, Edna May Oliver, Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O'Sullivan Long before 19th-century novelist Jane Austen became a hot property in Hollywood, MGM produced this opulent and entertaining adaptation of one of Austen's best-known novels. The elegant and slyly satirical comedy of manners gets under way when socially conscious Mrs. Bennet (Mary Boland), with the begrudging assistance of her husband (Edmund Gwenn ... see all copies from $15.48! new only from $15.48!
5	Them! (1954) more movies like this directed by Gordon M. Douglas featuring James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, Joan Weldon, James Arness, Onslow Stevens A little girl is found wandering in the desert, in a state of complete shock. When she finally revives, she can scream out only one word: "Them!" Any aficionado of 1950s horror films can readily tell you that "Them" are giant ants, a byproduct of the radiation attending the atomic bomb tests of the era. Extremely well organized, these deadly eight ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.25!
6	The Keys of the Kingdom (1944) more movies like this directed by John M. Stahl featuring Gregory Peck, Thomas Mitchell, Vincent Price, Roddy McDowall, Rosa Stradner, Edmund Gwenn Based on the novel by A.J. Cronin, The Keys of the Kingdom was the first big-budget effort of movie-newcomer Gregory Peck. This is the 137-minute chronicle of a Scottish priest (Peck), who is assigned a mission in China. Never very focused in his life or work, the priest finds plenty to keep his mind occupied in his new post; when he isn't coping ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
7	Lassie Come Home (1943) more movies like this directed by Fred Wilcox featuring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Elsa Lanchester, Nigel Bruce Female dogs tend to shed while in heat; this is why all the collies who've played doggy heroine Lassie in the movies have actually been well-disguised males. A magnificent animal named Pal was the screen's first Lassie in 1943's Lassie Come Home. Set in Yorkshire during the first World War, the film gets under way when the poverty-stricken parents ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.53!
8	The Trouble with Harry (1955) more movies like this directed by Alfred Hitchcock featuring Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Shirley MacLaine, Mildred Natwick, Mildred Dunnock, Jerry Mathers The trouble with Harry is that he's dead.

Later on, retired sea captain Edmund Gwenn likewise comes across the ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $5.99!

10	Sylvia Scarlett (1935) more movies like this directed by George Cukor featuring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Brian Aherne, Edmund Gwenn, Natalie Paley This big-budget 1936 RKO Studios picture lost money, perhaps due to a cool box-office reception to the idea of leading lady Katharine Hepburn in drag, and a rare-for-its-day screen kiss between two women. Edmund Gwenn plays the title character's father Henry, who is obsessed with gambling. His daughter Sylvia (Hepburn) has stolen some expensive ... see all copies from $35.71!
11 view cover	Charley's Aunt (1941) more movies like this directed by Archie Mayo featuring Jack Benny, Kay Francis, Anne Baxter, Edmund Gwenn, Richard Haydn, James Ellison Jack Benny brings his own distinctive touch to Brandon Thomas' venerable (and oft-filmed) stage farce Charley's Aunt. Utilizing a gloriously unconvincing broad-A English accent, Benny is cast as Lord Fancourt Babberly, a somewhat overaged undergraduate at Oxford University. Babbs' roommates Jack Chesney (James Ellison) and Charley Wyckeham ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
12 view cover	A Woman of Distinction (1950) more movies like this directed by Edward N. Buzzell featuring Ray Milland, Rosalind Russell, Edmund Gwenn, Janis Carter, Mary Jane Saunders A Woman of Distinction serves as a tailor-made vehicle for Rosalind Russell. The star is cast as Susan Middlecott, a highly respected college dean. As can be expected, Susan is too busy for romance -- at least until handsome professor Alec Stevenson (Ray Milland) enters the picture. At first, the dean and the prof are thrown together by the ... see all copies from $49.90!
13 view cover	Hills of Home (1948) more movies like this directed by Fred Wilcox featuring Edmund Gwenn, Donald Crisp, Tom Drake, Janet Leigh, Rhys Williams MGM's Lassie series was declining in popularity by 1948, so the studio decided to release its latest adventure of the famous collie as Hills of Home, so that non-Lassie fans might be inveigled into entering the theatre. Actually, Hills is one of the best entries in the series, due in no small part to the engaging performance by Edmund Gwenn. ... see all copies from $15.00!
14 view cover	Cheers for Miss Bishop (1941) more movies like this directed by Tay Garnett featuring Martha Scott, William Gargan, Edmund Gwenn, Sterling Holloway, Sidney Blackmer Something of a distaff Mr. Chips, schoolteacher Ella Bishop (Martha Scott) devotes her life to her work, ageing 50 years (from 19 to 69) in the course of the film.

In flashback, the audience learns that town ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.00!

Merrick (Charles Coburn), the world's richest man, gets word that someone is trying to unionize a department store that he owns. To thwart this blatant act of democracy, Merrick changes his name and takes a menial job at the store, the better to catch the union ... see all copies from $13.49!
17 view cover	Challenge to Lassie (1949) more movies like this directed by Richard Thorpe featuring Edmund Gwenn, Donald Crisp, Geraldine Brooks, Reginald Owen, Alan Webb A "new" Lassie (once again, a male collie in drag) starred in A Challenge to Lassie, MGM's fourth entry in their series based on characters created by Eric Knight. This time, Lassie is plunked into the plotline of William Ludwig's novel Greyfriars Bobby (remade by Disney under its original title in 1963). In 19th-century Edinburgh, crusty ... see all copies from $5.62!
18 view cover	Undercurrent (1946) more movies like this directed by Vincente Minnelli featuring Katharine Hepburn, Robert Taylor, Robert Mitchum, Edmund Gwenn, Marjorie Main A change of pace for both director Vincente Minnelli and star Katharine Hepburn, this taut drama features the latter as Ann Hamilton, the daughter of a scientist (Edmund Gwenn), who after a whirlwind romance marries handsome but slightly mysterious inventor turned businessman Alan Garroway (Robert Taylor). But wedded bliss proves short-lived when ... see all copies from $11.44!

20 view cover	The Skin Game (1931) more movies like this directed by Alfred Hitchcock featuring Edmund Gwenn, Jill Esmond, Phyllis Konstam, John Longden, C.V. France, Helen Haye, Frank Lawton This uncharacteristic Alfred Hitchcock endeavor was adapted by Hitch and his wife, Alma Reville, from a play by John Galsworthy. The British countryside turns into an ideological battlefield when Hornblower (Edmund Gwenn), a wealthy, self-man tradesman, stakes his claim to a piece of valuable forest property controlled for literally centuries by ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.86!
21	Les Miserables (1952) more movies like this directed by Lewis Milestone featuring Michael Rennie, Debra Paget, Robert Newton, Edmund Gwenn, Sylvia Sidney Not up to the classic 1935 presentation, this is still an excellent adaptation of Victor Hugo's epic novel. The familiar characters of Valjean and Javert and the agonies of injustice are all portrayed convincingly against a backdrop of 18th century France. Tana Hobart, All Movie Guide see all copies from $11.84! new only from $11.84!
22	Love on Wheels (1932) more movies like this directed by Victor Saville featuring Jack Hulbert, Gordon Harker, Edmund Gwenn In this British musical, a shop assistant attempts to impress a girl by telling her that he is actually the manager.

B. Priestley, this British musical-comedy follows an unlikely trio as they try to revive the fortunes of a floundering touring theatrical troupe.

25	Friday the 13th (1933) more movies like this directed by Victor Saville featuring Sonnie Hale, Jessie Matthews, Edmund Gwenn, Ursula Jeans, Frank Lawton, Max Miller, Emlyn Williams, Gordon Harker Definitely no relation to the horror-film series of the same name, the British Friday the 13th is a variation of the "Bridge on the San Luis Rey" theme, set in motion by a London bus accident.
