Pride and Prejudice

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 ...

John Ford directed this outdoor adventure set in the American Colonial period.

Little Women

Little Women (1933) more movies like this

directed by George Cukor
featuring Katharine Hepburn, Joan Bennett, Paul Lukas, Frances Dee, Jean Parker, Edna May Oliver

George Cukor directed this classic adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's sentimental novel with a shimmering lavishness that is a prime example of the classic Hollywood style at its best. The story concerns the lives of four New England sisters -- Jo (Katharine Hepburn), Amy (Joan Bennett), Meg (Frances Dee), and Beth (Jean Parker) -- during the time ...

David Copperfield

David Copperfield (1935) more movies like this

directed by George Cukor
featuring W.C. Fields, Lionel Barrymore, Freddie Bartholomew, Maureen O'Sullivan, Madge Evans, Frank Lawton, Edna May Oliver

David Copperfield was MGM's major Christmas release for its 1934-1935 season and also the first of producer David O. Selznick's major "literary" films for that studio. While a great deal of editing and streamlining was necessary to distill Charles Dickens' massive novel into 133 minutes of screen time, the end result was so successful that only ...

Little Miss Broadway

Little Miss Broadway (1938) more movies like this

directed by Irving Cummings
featuring Shirley Temple, George Murphy, Jimmy Durante, Phyllis Brooks, Edna May Oliver

Child star Shirley Temple was getting a bit long in the tooth (at age 10!) by the time she made Little Miss Broadway. Facing the possibility that Temple's appeal was beginning to slip, the producers overstocked the film with top musical-comedy performers and character actors. The curly-topped actress is cast as orphan girl Betsy Brown, discharged ...

The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle

The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939) more movies like this

directed by H.C. Potter
featuring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Edna May Oliver, Walter Brennan, Lew Fields

The last of RKO's Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers vehicles, The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle is also the least typical. At their best playing carefree characters in gossamer-thin musical comedy plotlines, Fred and Ginger seem slightly ill at ease cast as the real-life dancing team of Vernon and Irene Castle. The stripped-to-essentials storyline ...

Second Fiddle

Second Fiddle (1939) more movies like this

directed by Sidney Lanfield
featuring Tyrone Power, Rudy Vallee, Edna May Oliver, Mary Healy

Sonja Henie, the Norwegian skating star, reportedly played second fiddle to no one at Fox in the late '30s, and this backstage musical extravaganza is all Henie. Taking a leaf from producer David O. Selznick, Consolidated Pictures send public relation expert Tyrone Power in search of an unknown to star in the studio's upcoming production of Girl ...

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet (1936) more movies like this

directed by George Cukor
featuring Norma Shearer, Leslie Howard, John Barrymore, Edna May Oliver, Basil Rathbone

Director George Cukor and producer Irving G. Thalberg's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, a lavish production of Shakespeare's tale about two star-crossed lovers, is extremely well-produced and acted. In fact, it is so well-done, that it is easy to forget that Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer are too old to be playing the title characters. Stephen ...

A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities (1935) more movies like this

directed by Jack Conway
featuring Ronald Colman, Elizabeth Allan, Edna May Oliver, Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone

It is a tale known well, filmed many times over the years, but never better than this early black and white version from the MGM Studios, David O. Selznick producing. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"-- Charles Dickens juxtaposes England and France, George and Louis, tradition and revolution. One of the most beloved of Dickens' ...

Rosalie

Rosalie (1938) more movies like this

directed by W.S. Van Dyke
featuring Nelson Eddy, Eleanor Powell, Frank Morgan, Edna May Oliver, Ray Bolger

More burdened with leaden production numbers than plot, Rosalie took Sigmund Romberg and George Gershwin's 1928 Broadway hit, threw out most of the songs, including "How Long Has This Been Going On?," but retained the spindly story of the incognito Princess Rosalie of Romanza (Eleanor Powell), who falls head-over-heels in love with All-American ...

Nurse Edith Cavell (1939) more movies like this

directed by Herbert Wilcox
featuring Anna Neagle, Edna May Oliver, George Sanders, May Robson, H.B. Warner

Many of the "preparedness" films of the years just prior to World War II sidestepped censorship by depicting past outrages of the Germans. Such a film was British producer Herbert Wilcox's Hollywood production Nurse Edith Cavell, in which Wilcox's future wife Anna Neagle portrayed the titular martyred Englishwoman. Ms. Neagle plays the legendary ...
