Let's Dance

Let's Dance (1950) more movies like this

directed by Norman Z. McLeod
featuring Fred Astaire, Betty Hutton, Roland Young, Lucile Watson, Ruth Warrick, Gregory Moffett

Fred Astaire and Betty Hutton make a surprisingly copacetic screen team in Let's Dance. Hutton plays a more sedate role than usual as war widow Kitty McNeil. Not wishing to have her young son Richard (Gregory Moffatt) grow up in the stiff and stuffy environs of her Boston in-laws' mansion, Kitty sneaks off with the kid and resumes her prewar show ...

Topper Returns

Topper Returns (1941) more movies like this

directed by Roy Del Ruth
featuring Joan Blondell, Roland Young, Carole Landis, Billie Burke, Dennis O'Keefe

The third of producer Hal Roach's Topper films, Topper Returns eschews the frothy "screwball" format of the first two in favor of an "old dark house" comedy-mystery. Roland Young returns as banker Cosmo Topper, who gallantly offers a lift to pretty hitchhikers Gail Richards (Joan Blondell) and Ann Carrington (Carole Landis). This results in a few ...

Topper

Topper (1937) more movies like this

directed by Norman Z. McLeod
featuring Cary Grant, Constance Bennett, Billie Burke, Roland Young, Alan Mowbray

By 1937, producer Hal Roach was hoping to wean himself away from the Laurel & Hardy-Our Gang slapstick on which he had built his studio's reputation by delving into the "screwball comedy" genre. Roach selected the racy Thorne Smith fantasy novel Topper for adaptation, and the result was one of the most endearingly funny films of the decade. ...

directed by George Cukor
featuring Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Constance Bennett, Ruth Gordon, Robert Sterling, Roland Young

Attempting to Americanize Greta Garbo to appeal to American audiences (since most of the foreign markets for Hollywood product had been cut off due to World War II), M.G.M.'s Two-Faced Woman succeeded in making Garbo angry enough to announce her retirement from the screen. Two-Faced Woman was Garbo's final screen appearance, as the legendary ...

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 ...

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 ...

St. Benny the Dip (1951) more movies like this

directed by Edgar G. Ulmer
featuring Dick Haymes, Nina Foch, Roland Young, Lionel Stander, Freddie Bartholomew

Filmed very cheaply in New York, St. Benny the Dip (British title: Escape Me If You Can) has a charm and appeal that transcends its modest production trappings.

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 ...
