Things to Come

Things to Come (1936) more movies like this

directed by William Cameron Menzies
featuring Raymond Massey, Cedric Hardwicke, Edward Chapman, Ralph Richardson, Margaretta Scott, Maurice Braddell, Sophie Stewart

H. G. Wells was both the author of the original source -- an essay, rather than an actual novel, concerning mankind's future -- and the screenplay (in conjunction with Lajos Biro) of this epic science fiction tale, but it was producer Alexander Korda who framed the terms on which it is presented, vast and elegant, and visually striking. Opening in ...

The Proud Valley

The Proud Valley (1940) more movies like this

directed by Pen Tennyson
featuring Paul Robeson, Jr., Edward Chapman, Simon Lack, Rachel Thomas

Proud Valley was directed by Pen Tennyson, whose early death in WW2 robbed the British movie industry of one of its more talented contributors. African American singing star Paul Robeson heads the cast as David, a black stoker seeaking work in the coal mines of Wales. He finds an ally in the form of miner Dick Parry (Edward Chapman), who is less ...

Rembrandt

Rembrandt (1936) more movies like this

directed by Alexander Korda
featuring Charles Laughton, Gertrude Lawrence, Elsa Lanchester, Edward Chapman, John Bryning, Richard Gofe, Walter Hudd

Lightning steadfastly refused to strike twice for the director/actor team of Alexander Korda and Charles Laughton. Though the pair had scored an international success with the 1933 quasi-biopic The Private Life of Henry VIII, they couldn't make the magic happen again with 1936's Rembrandt. Laughton's performance is solid throughout, and Korda's ...

A Stitch in Time (1963) more movies like this

directed by Robert Asher
featuring Norman Wisdom, Edward Chapman, Jeannette Sterke, Jerry Desmonde, Jill Melford

Diminutive pratfall comic Norman Wisdom, Britain's latter-day version of Charlie Chaplin, brought his trademark physical slapstick to this comedy. Wisdom plays Norman Pitkin, a simple butcher's assistant who accompanies his boss, Mr. Grimsdale (Edward Chapman) to the hospital after Grimsdale accidentally swallows a watch. There, it is determined ...

Juno and the Paycock (1930) more movies like this

directed by Alfred Hitchcock
featuring Sara Allgood, Edward Chapman, Maire O'Neill, Sydney Morgan, Kathleen O'Regan

Alfred Hitchcock's second talkie was a surprisingly static adaptation of the Sean O'Casey stage drama Juno and the Paycock. Set during the Irish "troubles" of the early 1920s, the film focuses on the trials and tribulations of a typical Dublin tenement family. Sara Allgood is brilliant as family matriarch Juno Boyle, who must contend with her ...

There Ain't No Justice. (1939) more movies like this

directed by Pen Tennyson
featuring Jimmy Hanley, Edward Rigby, Mary Clare, Phyllis Stanley, Edward Chapman

There Ain't No Justice turned out to be the "breakthrough" picture for youthful British actor Jimmy Hanley. The star plays a garage mechanic who has an inborn talent for boxing. Needing a lot of money in a hurry, he falls in with a crooked fight promoter (Edward Chapman), who advertises Hanley as the next champ with a series of fixed bouts. By the ...

And Nadia Gray is ...

The History of Mr. Polly

The History of Mr. Polly (1949) more movies like this

directed by Anthony Pelissier
featuring John Mills, Sally Ann Howes, Finlay Currie, Betty Ann Davies, Diana Churchill, Edward Chapman, Megs Jenkins

H. G. Wells' non-fantasy efforts have, with the exception of Kipps, proven traditionally difficult to transfer to film. History of Mr. Polly occasionally suffers from too-close fidelity to its Wellsian source; one wishes that adaptor/director Anthony Pelissier could have "opened up" the story a bit more. Still, the film is impeccably cast: ...

The Young and the Guilty (1958) more movies like this

directed by Peter Cotes
featuring Phyllis Calvert, Andrew Ray, Edward Chapman, Janet Munro, Campbell Singer

The Young and the Guilty was part of the "misunderstood youth" British film cycle of the 1950s. Young Eddie (Andrew Ray) and Sue (Janet Munro) are in love, albeit chastely. One of the kids sends a mash note to the other, which is intercepted by their parents. There's nothing remotely suggestive in the letter, but the adults suspect the worst, ...
