directed by Henry Koster
featuring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Merle Oberon, Michael Rennie, Cameron Mitchell

A Song to Remember

A Song to Remember (1945) more movies like this

directed by Charles Vidor
featuring Paul Muni, Merle Oberon, Cornel Wilde, Stephen Bekassy, George Coulouris, Nina Foch

One of the most successful filmed biographies of the 1940s, A Song to Remember alleges to be the true story of Polish composer Frederick Chopin. Actually, it has about as much relation to truth as a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon, but with such gorgeous creatures as Cornel Wilde and Merle Oberon in the leads, who cared? Though Wilde, as Chopin, is the ...

The Divorce of Lady X

The Divorce of Lady X (1938) more movies like this

directed by Tim Whelan, Sr.
featuring Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, Binnie Barnes, Ralph Richardson, Morton Selten

Filmed in lavish Technicolor and given Tiffany production values by producer Alexander Korda, the British comedy Divorce of Lady X is at base a trivial little farce, buoyed by the sprightly performances of star Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier. Ms. Oberon plays a costume-party guest who is forced to stay in a hotel overnight due to inclement ...

Forever and a Day

Forever and a Day (1943) more movies like this

directed by Cedric Hardwicke, Edmund Goulding, Frank Lloyd, Herbert Wilcox, Kent Smith, René Clair, Robert Stevenson, Victor Saville
featuring Brian Aherne, Merle Oberon, Gladys Cooper, Ida Lupino, C. Aubrey Smith, Claude Rains, Robert Cummings, Anna Neagle, Roland Young

The 80-star cast of Forever and a Day would certainly not have been feasible had not most of the actors and production people turned over their salaries to British war relief -- a point driven home during the lengthy opening credits by an unseen narrator. The true star of the film is a stately old manor house in London, built in 1804 by a British ...

The Private Life of Henry VIII

The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933) more movies like this

directed by Alexander Korda
featuring Charles Laughton, Binnie Barnes, Merle Oberon, Elsa Lanchester, Everley Gregg

Charles Laughton became an international star by chewing both mutton and scenes in his Oscar-winning turn as King Henry VIII. Alexander Korda's British super-production also put the British cinema on the map, which, until this film, received precious little respect in the international film community. The film, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, ...

featuring Merle Oberon, Melvyn Douglas, Burgess Meredith, Alan Mowbray, Olive Blakeney

Ernst Lubitsch's That Uncertain Feeling was previously filmed by the director in 1925 as Kiss Me Again; both versions were inspired the Victorien Sardou-Emile de Najac bedroom farce Let's Get a Divorce. Six year into her marriage to preoccupied insurance salesman Larry Baker (Melvyn Douglas), Jill Baker (Merle Oberson) develops a case of hiccups. ...

Wedding Rehearsal (1932) more movies like this

directed by Alexander Korda
featuring George Grossmith, Roland Young, John Loder, Lady Tree, Merle Oberon

Quite popular when first released, Wedding Rehearsal is a bit obscure today, which is a shame when one considers the talented cast and production staff. Roland Young plays a diffident aristocrat who is pressured to marry by his veddy proper family. Imagine their shock when Young falls in love with (ugh!) a commoner. His working-class bride is ...

Deep in My Heart

Deep in My Heart (1954) more movies like this

directed by Stanley Donen
featuring José Ferrer, Helen Traubel, Merle Oberon, Doe Avedon, Walter Pidgeon

Deep in My Heart is the MGM-ified biography of composer Sigmund Romberg, here played by José Ferrer. Evidently the scripters didn't feel that the life of Romberg (as set down by author Elliott Arnold, whose book was used as the film's basis) had enough drama to fill out two hours and ten minutes. As a result, the film is overstocked with guest ...

directed by André De Toth
featuring Merle Oberon, Franchot Tone, Thomas Mitchell, Fay Bainter, Rex Ingram, John Qualen

Adapted from a Saturday Evening Post serial by Frank and Marian Cockrell, Dark Waters stars Merle Oberon as heiress Leslie Calvin, a woman with a neurotic aversion to water. This stems from the fact that in her childhood, Leslie was one of four survivors of a torpedoed steamship. Preying upon Leslie's fears, conniving Mr. Sydney (Thomas Mitchell), ...
