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 ...

Stars and Stripes Forever

Stars and Stripes Forever (1952) more movies like this

directed by Henry Koster
featuring Clifton Webb, Debra Paget, Robert Wagner, Ruth Hussey, Finlay Currie

Stars and Stripes Forever is the highly fanciful filmed biography of "march king" John Philip Sousa. Clifton Webb does a fine job as Sousa, while Ruth Hussey is equally good in the less-demanding role of Sousa's wife. The problem faced by screenwriter Lamar Trotti (who adapted the film from Sousa's autobiography Marching Along) was that, outside ...
