Little Miss Marker

Little Miss Marker (1934) more movies like this

directed by Alexander Hall
featuring Adolphe Menjou, Dorothy Dell, Shirley Temple, Charles Bickford, Lynne Overman

Perhaps the most memorable of all of the movies based on Damon Runyon's story because of the winning presence of Shirley Temple (although it was remade three times), this is the story of a little girl who is left as a marker for a $20.00 bet. Temple's father kills himself and the bookie doesn't know what to do with the young girl. Needless to say, ...

Edison the Man, starring Spencer Tracy in the title role, downplays ...

Based on the Ben Hecht/Charlie McArthur play Chicago, Roxie Hart is a short-but-sweet satire of highly publicized court trials.

The Big Broadcast of 1938

The Big Broadcast of 1938 (1937) more movies like this

directed by Mitchell Leisen
featuring W.C. Fields, Martha Raye, Dorothy Lamour, Shirley Ross, Lynne Overman, Bob Hope

Paramount's final "Big Broadcast" musical had perhaps the least exciting musical lineup of the series (Tito Guizar, The Shep Fields Orchestra, and opera singer Kirsten Flagstad are hardly household names today), but a slightly stronger storyline than the others, as well as a top-notch comic cast. This time out, most of the action takes place as ...
