Lady of Burlesque (1943) more movies like this

directed by William Wellman
featuring Barbara Stanwyck, Michael O'Shea, J. Edward Bromberg, Iris Adrian, Gloria Dickson, Marion Martin

Barbara Stanwyck shines in her second portrayal of a showgirl in less than two years (the first was in Howard Hawks' Ball of Fire in 1941). In Lady of Burlesque -- which, at times, has a Hawksian edge to the dialogue -- she portrays Dixie Daisy, a striptease artist at a Broadway theater in New York at the end of the 1930s. In the course of fending ...

Fixed Bayonets

Fixed Bayonets (1951) more movies like this

directed by Samuel Fuller
featuring Richard Basehart, Gene Evans, Michael O'Shea, Richard Hylton, Craig Hill

Jack London

Jack London (1943) more movies like this

directed by Alfred Santell
featuring Michael O'Shea, Susan Hayward, Osa Massen, Harry Davenport, Virginia Mayo, Frank Craven

This ambitious filmed biography of writer-adventurer Jack London is somewhat compromised by its too-tight budget. Michael O'Shea is well cast as London, whose rugged adventures range from the high seas to the Klondike. London's insatiable wanderlust causes friction in his marriage to the lovely Charmian (Susan Hayward), but she stands nobly by his ...

The Cole Porter Broadway musical Something for the Boys was brought to the screen by 20th Century Fox with three new non-Porter tunes thrown in.
