Paramount followed up its successful Bob Hope/Paulette Goddard co-starrer The Cat and the Canary (1939) by warming up another venerable "old dark house" stage play, Paul Dickey and Charles Goddard's The Ghost Breaker, pluralizing the title to accommodate both stars.

Modern Times (1936) more movies like this

directed by Cecil B. DeMille
featuring Gary Cooper, Paulette Goddard, Howard Da Silva, Boris Karloff, Katherine de Mille, Ward Bond

Cecil B. DeMille's first postwar production, the $5 million Technicolor historical spectacular Unconquered lacks only the kitchen sink.

Pot O' Gold

Pot O' Gold (1941) more movies like this

directed by George Marshall
featuring James Stewart, Paulette Goddard, Burgess Meredith, Horace Heidt, Charles Winninger, Mary Gordon

James Stewart once classified Pot O' Gold as his worst film, though this may have stemmed from his reported inability to get along with his costar Paulette Goddard (who is supposed to have dismissed Stewart's acting technique with a flippant "Anyone can swallow.") Inspired by the popular radio giveaway series of the same name, the film represented ...

The Great Dictator (1940) more movies like this

directed by Charles Chaplin
featuring Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie, Reginald Gardiner, Henry Daniell, Billy Gilbert

Reap the Wild Wind

Reap the Wild Wind (1942) more movies like this

directed by Cecil B. DeMille
featuring Ray Milland, John Wayne, Paulette Goddard, Raymond Massey, Robert Preston

Cecil B. DeMille's Technicolor historical spectacle Reap the Wild Wind was to have starred Gary Cooper, but Cooper's prior commitment to Goldwyn's Pride of the Yankees compelled DeMille to recast the leading role with John Wayne. The film, set in the mid-19th century, centers around Key West, Florida, where piracy reigns unchecked. Wayne plays ...

Second Chorus

Second Chorus (1940) more movies like this

directed by Frank Cavett, H.C. Potter
featuring Fred Astaire, Paulette Goddard, Charles Butterworth, Burgess Meredith

Though not the best of the Fred Astaire musicals, Second Chorus is the most easily accessible thanks to its current public-domain status. Astaire and Burgess Meredith play Danny O'Neill and Hank Taylor, friendly-enemy musicians who after spending seven years in a college band aspire to join the Artie Shaw Orchestra. Danny and Hank also spend a lot ...

The Young in Heart

The Young in Heart (1938) more movies like this

directed by Richard Wallace
featuring Janet Gaynor, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Paulette Goddard, Roland Young, Billie Burke

A comparatively little-known entry in the "screwball comedy" genre, David O. Selznick's The Young in Heart goes for quiet chuckles rather than bellylaughs. Adapted by Paul Osborn and Charles Bennett from a short story by I. R. Wylie, the film concentrates on a family of confidence tricksters. Paterfamilias Roland Young poses as a veteran of the ...
