2	The Painted Veil (1934) more movies like this directed by Richard Boleslawski featuring Greta Garbo, Herbert Marshall, George Brent, Warner Oland, Jean Hersholt A W. Somerset Maugham novel was the source for the fair-to-middling Greta Garbo vehicle The Painted Veil.

5	The Courageous Dr. Christian (1940) more movies like this directed by Bernard Vorhaus featuring Jean Hersholt, Dorothy Lovett, Robert Baldwin, Tom Neal, Maude Eburne The second entry in RKO Radio's "Dr. Christian" series, Courageous Dr. Christian was like the first inspired by the popular radio weekly.

6	Remedy for Riches (1940) more movies like this directed by Erle C.

8	Hell Harbor (1930) more movies like this directed by Henry King featuring Lupe Velez, Jean Hersholt, John Holland, Gibson Gowland Even allowing for the comparative freedom of the pre-Production Code years, 1930's Hell Harbor was pretty strong meat for its time. The story is set on a remote Caribbean island, entirely populated by descendants of Sir Henry Morgan's pirate crew. Morgan's brutish great-great-grandson Henry Morgan (Gibson Gowland) intends to shower himself with ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
9	The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) more movies like this directed by Rex Ingram featuring Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Alan Hale, Pomeroy Cannon, Josef Swickard, Nigel de Brulier, Brinsley Shaw, Jean Hersholt The mystical novels of Vicente Blasco-Ibanez were much prized by ambitious silent filmmaker Rex Ingram, who filmed two of them in the 1920s, both ostensibly vehicles for his actress wife Alice Terry. The first of the two, Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, was infinitely more successful than the second (Mare Nostrum), a fact that can be attributed ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
10	Melody for Three (1941) more movies like this directed by Erle C. Kenton featuring Jean Hersholt, Fay Wray, Walter Woolf King, Schuyler Standish, Patsy Lee Parsons For some reason or other, Melody for Three seems to be the most frequently revived of RKO Radio's "Dr. Christian." As ever, Jean Hersholt stars as Christian, kindly general practitioner of the town of River's End. In this one, Dr. Christian takes an avuncular interest in young Billy Stanley (Schuyler Standish), a violin prodigy. Soon thereafter, ... see all copies from $4.57! new only from $4.57!
11	Meet Dr. Christian (1939) more movies like this directed by Bernard Varhaus, Bernard Vorhaus featuring Jean Hersholt, Dorothy Lovett, Robert Baldwin, Enid Bennett, Paul Harvey As a direct result with his excellent showing as warm-hearted Dr. Dafoe in the Dionne Quintuplets films, Jean Hersholt was awarded a not dissimilar radio series about a kindly general practioner named Dr. Christian. Two years after the debut of the Dr. Christian radio series, RKO Radio launched a group of films based on the property, again with ... see all copies from $4.57! new only from $4.57!
