The Fountainhead

The Fountainhead (1949) more movies like this

directed by King Vidor
featuring Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, Raymond Massey, Kent Smith, Henry Hull, Robert Douglas

The hero of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead is Howard Roark (Gary Cooper), a fiercely independent architect obviously patterned after Frank Lloyd Wright. Rather than compromise his ideals, Roark takes menial work as a quarryman to finance his projects. He falls in love with heiress Dominique (Patricia Neal), but ends the relationship when he has the ...

Boys Town

Boys Town (1938) more movies like this

directed by Norman Taurog
featuring Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Henry Hull, Leslie Fenton, Addison Richards, Gene Reynolds

Spencer Tracy won his second Oscar for his portrayal of Father Edward J. Flanagan--then promptly turned the statuette over to the real Father Flanagan out of gratitude. The priest's philosophy that no boy will grow up bad if given a chance in life culminates in his formation of Boys Town in Omaha, Nebraska. Unable to raise funds through "proper" ...

Objective, Burma!

Objective, Burma! (1945) more movies like this

directed by Raoul Walsh
featuring Errol Flynn, Henry Hull, William Prince, James Brown, George Tobias

A few corny moments aside, Objective Burma must rate as one of the best combat films of WW2. Errol Flynn stars as Captain Nelson, who leads a hardy band of paratroopers behind enemy lines in Burma, for the purpose of destroying a Japanese radar station. Their mission accomplished, Nelson and his men prepare to make their escape by plane, but this ...

Master of the World

Master of the World (1961) more movies like this

directed by William Witney
featuring Vincent Price, Charles Bronson, Henry Hull, Mary Webster, David Frankham

Master of the World was adapted by Richard Matheson from two Jules Verne novels, Robur le Conquerant (1896) and its sequel, Maitre du Monde (1904)--with more than a little of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea thrown in. Set in 1868, the story is galvanized by an ominous warning of impending doom, delivered in a disembodied but resonent voice from a ...

Call it Murder

Call it Murder (1934) more movies like this

directed by Chester Erskine
featuring Sidney Fox, O.P. Heggie, Henry Hull, Margaret Wycherly, Lynne Overman

The old "If it were your own daughter" plot device forms the basis of the independently-produced crime melodrama Midnight. O.P. Heggie plays jury foreman Edward Weldon, who has no qualms about sentencing a woman to death for a crime of passion. His unpopular decision makes Weldon persona non grata even in his own home, but he sticks to his firm ...

The Great Dan Patch

The Great Dan Patch (1949) more movies like this

directed by Joseph Newman
featuring Dennis O'Keefe, Gail Russell, Ruth Warrick, Charlotte Greenwood, Henry Hull

Though occasionally hampered by its tiny budget, The Great Dan Patch is a reasonably satisfying horse story. The title character was, of course, one of the greatest harness-race horses that ever drew breath. But since Dan Patch couldn't deliver dialogue or conduct an acceptable on-screen romance, the film concentrates on his owner, chemist David ...

Jesse James

Jesse James (1939) more movies like this

directed by Darryl F. Zanuck, Henry King
featuring Tyrone Power, Henry Fonda, Nancy Kelly, Randolph Scott, Brian Donlevy, Henry Hull

The real Frank and Jesse James were murderous thugs, light years away from the Robin Hood image imposed on them by revisionist dime novelists. But in 1939, 20th Century-Fox wasn't about to build an expensive Technicolor feature around the exploits of a couple of low-lives, thus Jesse James upholds the mythos, offering us the standard whitewashed ...

The Return of Frank James

The Return of Frank James (1940) more movies like this

directed by Fritz Lang
featuring Henry Fonda, Gene Tierney, Jackie Cooper, John Carradine, Henry Hull

This Technicolor sequel to 1939's Jesse James does without the services of the earlier film's star Tyrone Power, who after all was shot dead by that "dirty little coward" Bob Ford (John Carradine). Repeating his portrayal of western outlaw Frank James, Henry Fonda is promoted to top billing here. As depicted by scenarist Sam Hellman, Frank has ...

The Werewolf of London

The Werewolf of London (1935) more movies like this

directed by Stuart Walker
featuring Henry Hull, Warner Oland, Valerie Hobson, Lester Matthews, Spring Byington

Originally intended as a vehicle for Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, this Universal production predated The Wolf Man by six years, but failed to whip up audience enthusiasm for the monster popularized by Lon Chaney, Jr. in the studio's later classic. Henry Hull stars as botanist Dr. Glendon, whose foray through Tibet in search of a rare night ...

Great Expectations

Great Expectations (1934) more movies like this

directed by Stuart Walker
featuring Henry Hull, Phillips Holmes, Jane Wyatt, Florence Reed, Alan Hale

Twelve years before David Lean's definitive filmization of Dickens' Great Expectations, Hollywood had a go at the novel, with mixed results. The story is the familiar one of young Pip (George Breakstone as a boy, Phillips Holmes as an adult) whose future wealth is assured through the auspices of a mysterious benefactor. It turns out that Pip's ...

One Exciting Night (1922) more movies like this

directed by D.W. Griffith
featuring Carol Dempster, Henry Hull, Morgan Wallace, Porter Strong

At the time he made this confusing blend of melodrama, mystery, and comedy, D.W. Griffith was in financial trouble. This picture, written by Griffith under the pseudonym of Irene Sinclair, was originally meant to be a small, relatively low-budget (by Griffith standards) production which would hopefully turn a nice profit. And that's what it was -- ...

directed by Joseph Santley
featuring Robert Livingston, Ruth Terry, Henry Hull, Grant Withers, Thurston Hall

In this drama a big-city reporter moves to a tiny town to begin running the newspaper he half-owns. His in-your-face reporting style does not make him very popular; especially when he begins causing trouble for the incumbent mayor's opposition. It is the candidate's pretty niece who teaches the arrogant journalist a valuable lesson. Sandra ...
