4	Topper Returns (1941) more movies like this directed by Roy Del Ruth featuring Joan Blondell, Roland Young, Carole Landis, Billie Burke, Dennis O'Keefe The third of producer Hal Roach's Topper films, Topper Returns eschews the frothy "screwball" format of the first two in favor of an "old dark house" comedy-mystery.

6	Support Your Local Gunfighter (1971) more movies like this directed by Burt Kennedy featuring James Garner, Suzanne Pleshette, Jack Elam, Joan Blondell, Harry Morgan This Western action/comedy is told in the same tongue-in-cheek manner as its predecessor, Support Your Local Sheriff.

Instead, he escapes from her ... see all copies from $7.12! new only from $7.12!

9	Three Men on a Horse (1936) more movies like this directed by Mervyn LeRoy featuring Frank McHugh, Joan Blondell, Guy Kibbee, Carolyn Hughes, Allen Jenkins All but forgotten today, the George Abbott-John Cecil Holm stage comedy Three Men on a Horse was once a staple of the community theatre and summer-stock circuit (a 1958 TV production starred no less than Johnny Carson).

18 view cover	The Woman Inside (1981) more movies like this directed by Joseph Van Winkle featuring Gloria Manon, Dane Clark, Joan Blondell, Michael Champion, Marlene Tracy This very low-budget drama tries to be non-exploitational but still ends up rather campy as it chronicles the endeavors of a tough Vietnam vet to have a sex-change operation.
