A Star is Born (1954) more movies like this

directed by George Cukor
featuring Judy Garland, James Mason, Jack Carson, Charles Bickford, Tommy Noonan

The 1954 musical remake of A Star is Born could have been titled A Star is Reborn , in that it represented the triumphal return to the screen of Judy Garland after a four-year absence. The remake adheres closely to the plotline of the 1937 original: An alcoholic film star, on his last professional legs, gives a career boost to a unknown aspiring ...

featuring Carole Lombard, Robert Montgomery, Gene Raymond, Jack Carson, Philip Merivale

My Dream Is Yours (1949) more movies like this

directed by Michael Curtiz
featuring Doris Day, Jack Carson, Lee Bowman, Adolphe Menjou, Eve Arden

My Dream Is Yours is a Technicolor remake of the jaunty 1934 Warner Bros. musical Twenty Million Sweethearts. But there's a significant difference here: whereas in the earlier film singing-waiter Dick Powell was turned into a crooning idol, in the remake it is Doris Day who is catapulted to stardom. Jack Carson (who was reportedly romantically ...

Gentleman Jim (1942) more movies like this

directed by Raoul Walsh
featuring Errol Flynn, Alexis Smith, Jack Carson, Alan Hale, John Loder

Maybe Errol Flynn was never the war hero that he often played, but he was a capable boxer, and Gentleman Jim makes full use of this skill. Flynn stars as Jim Corbett, the 19th-century American pugilist who introduced "scientific" methods to bare-knuckle boxing. Originally an office clerk, Corbett is introduced to the then-illegal sport of fighting ...

The Bride Came C.O.D. (1941) more movies like this

directed by William Keighley
featuring James Cagney, Bette Davis, Stuart Erwin, Jack Carson, Eugene Pallette

Neither James Cagney nor Bette Davis were particularly pleased with the outdated screwball comedy The Bride Came C.O.D., but both performers behaved with thorough professionalism, doing a lot more for the film than the film did for them. Davis stars as flighty heiress Joan Winfield, whose impending marriage to bandleader Allen Brice (Jack Carson) ...

It's more Ginger Rogers than Fred Astaire, and more comedy than singing and dancing in this Astaire-Rogers entry into the screwball comedy sweepstakes which features a top-of-the-line Irving Berlin score (Change Partners, I Used to be Color Blind, The Night is Filled with Music). Fred Astaire plays Dr. Tony Flagg, a psychiatrist, who enters the ...

Since someone had already used the title The Bride Wore Boots, it follows that there'd eventually be a film called The Groom Wore Spurs.

Rally 'round the Flag, Boys! (1958) more movies like this

Director Leo McCarey was clearly past his prime when he made this screen version of Max Shulman's comic novel Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys; still, the film was a success, no small thanks to the star power of real-life husband and wife Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. The scene is Putnam's Landing, Connecticut, where commuter Harry Bannerman (Paul ...

directed by Joseph Newman

David Janssen is hardly perfect casting for the role of 1920s gambling king Arnold Rothstein (Rod Steiger or Gene Barry may have been better choices), but the sure-handed direction of Joseph Newman smooths over all the rough spots in this fanciful biopic. Set up in the gambling business by crooked politico Jack Carson, Rothstein cheats his partner ...
