The whimsical Oscar Wilde fantasy yarn The Canterville Ghost is updated to WW2 in this economical but attractively produced MGM filmization.

Northwest Passage

Northwest Passage (1940) more movies like this

directed by Jack Conway, King Vidor
featuring Spencer Tracy, Robert Young, Walter Brennan, Ruth Hussey, Nat Pendleton

Kenneth Roberts' fact-based novel Northwest Passage would seem too raw and explicit a book to be considered for an MGM film adaptation-much less one in Technicolor. Amazingly, MGM retained many of the grim episodes from the Roberts' novel, though - thanks to the Hays Code - most are discussed rather than shown. The film is set in 1759, when the ...

The Sin of Madelon Claudet

The Sin of Madelon Claudet (1931) more movies like this

directed by Edgar Selwyn
featuring Helen Hayes, Neil Hamilton, Robert Young, Cliff Edwards

In the space of 74 minutes, Helen Hayes goes from naïve French country lass to elderly harridan in Sin of Madelon Claudet. Is it any wonder that she won an Academy Award? (She truly deserved this Oscar; the jury is still out concerning her cutesy supporting turn in 1969's Airport, which also copped her the gold statuette). Betrayed by artist Neil ...

Crossfire

Crossfire (1947) more movies like this

directed by Edward Dmytryk
featuring Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, Gloria Grahame, Paul Kelly

This drama was one of the first major-studio efforts to confront anti-Semitism (beating the Oscar-winning Gentleman's Agreement by several months), and it features a standout performance from Robert Ryan as a bigoted soldier on the run. Monty Montogomery (Ryan) is a violent and unstable soldier who, while out on a pass, goes on a drinking spree ...

Strange Interlude

Strange Interlude (1932) more movies like this

directed by Robert Z. Leonard
featuring Norma Shearer, Clark Gable, Alexander Kirkland, Ralph Morgan, Robert Young

A remarkably smooth 110-minute adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's marathon eight-hour play, Strange Interlude was advertised as "the picture in which you hear the characters think," a nod to O'Neill's technique of having the characters speak their innermost thoughts out loud between dialogue passages (on-stage, the actors stood stock still while ...

Western Union

Western Union (1941) more movies like this

directed by Fritz Lang
featuring Robert Young, Randolph Scott, Dean Jagger, Virginia Gilmore, Barton MacLane, John Carradine

20th Century-Fox's Western Union was loosely based on a story by Zane Grey. The basic historical facts behind the connecting of telegraph wires between Omaha and Salt Lake City serve as a backdrop for a fictional story straight out of Manhattan Melodrama. Randolph Scott and Barton MacLane are cast as brothers who pursue wildly divergent paths in ...

Lady Be Good

Lady Be Good (1941) more movies like this

directed by Norman Z. McLeod
featuring Eleanor Powell, Ann Sothern, Robert Young, Lionel Barrymore, John Carroll

The 1924 George Gershwin stage hit Lady Be Good was brought to the screen by MGM; any resemblance (beyond the Gershwin score) to the original play is purely accidental. The MGM scriveners came up with a new story concerning married songwriters Ann Sothern and Robert Young, who can't live with each other and can't live without each other. Top ...

Red Salute (1935) more movies like this

directed by Sidney Lanfield
featuring Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Young, Hardie Albright, Ruth Donnelly, Cliff Edwards

Anti-Communist politics and screwball romance make strange bedfellows in this comic tale that plays like a cross between the previous year's It Happened One Night (1934) and a less-sober version of a later generation's The Way We Were (1973). Barbara Stanwyck stars as Drue Van Allen, a college student whose father (Purnell Pratt) is a general in ...

directed by Wesley Ruggles
featuring Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray, Robert Young, William Collier, Donald Meek

After It Happened One Night, Claudette Colbert seemed to make a career out of playing plucky heiresses with minds of their own, which sums up her character well in this romantic comedy. When her wealthy father goes broke, Jeanette Desmereau (Claudette Colbert) decides she should find a job of her own, applying for work as a writer at a magazine ...

directed by Victor Saville
featuring Jessie Matthews, Robert Young, Sonnie Hale, Ernest Milton, Robb Wilton

Robert Young decides to create a "scoop" by fabricating the impending arrival of a female big-game hunter named Mrs. Smythe-Smythe. Jessie Matthews decides to pose as the fictitious woman, the better to embarrass Young. The comic complications are obliged to share screen time with Matthews' inevitable songs, the best of which is the title tune. ...
