directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr.

directed by Albert Ray
featuring Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbot, Arthur Hoyt, Purnell Pratt, Harvey Clark

The second of two low-budget murder melodramas starring Ginger Rogers and Lyle Talbot, A Shriek in the Night is not quite as good as the first (The Thirteenth Guest), but it far outclasses most other poverty-row thrillers of its period. The titular nocturnal shriek is heard just before a wealthy philanthropist falls from his penthouse balcony to ...

Go West, Young Man

Go West, Young Man (1936) more movies like this

Go West, Young Man represented the first time that Mae West starred in a film not originally written with her in mind.

Ladies They Talk About

Ladies They Talk About (1933) more movies like this

directed by Howard P. Bretherton, William Keighley
featuring Barbara Stanwyck, Preston S. Foster, Lyle Talbot, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Roth

One of the earliest girls-in-prison yarns, Ladies They Talk About has everything but Ida Lupino as the warden--and had she been in Hollywood at the time, she would probably be here as well. Gun moll Barbara Stanwyck is thrown into San Quentin (which looks more like a summer resort than a house of detention), thanks to her involvement in a bank ...

Torture Ship

Torture Ship (1939) more movies like this

directed by Victor Halperin
featuring Lyle Talbot, Irving Pichel, Jacqueline Wells, Sheila Bromley, Anthony Averill

Torture Ship is a strange amalgam of crime thriller and horror chiller that can't quite make up its mind what it wants to be. Irving Pichel plays Dr. Herbert Stander, a well-meaning physician who becomes a little too much the single-minded visionary. Convinced that criminality is a result of a glandular condition, he assembles an array of escaped ...

The Old West

The Old West (1952) more movies like this

directed by George Archainbaud
featuring Gene Autry, Pat Buttram, Gail Davis, Lyle Talbot, Louis Jean Heydt

Gene Autry was clearly tiring of the rigors of moviemaking by the time he starred in The Old West. Even so, Autry gives his all to this story of frontier religiosity. Left for dead in an outlaw ambush, Gene is nursed back to health by a travelling parson (House Peters Sr.) Our hero decides to help the parson build a church in the wide-open town of ...

directed by Albert Ray
featuring Ginger Rogers, Lyle Talbot, John Farrell MacDonald, James C. Eagles, Eddie Phillips

Ginger Rogers' second film was this low-budget mystery from the poverty-row Monogram Studios. It's another standard tale of greedy heirs being killed off while trying to claim a fortune.

He is financed by crooked businessman Curtis (Thurston Hall), ...
