The Inspector General

The Inspector General (1949) more movies like this

directed by Henry Koster
featuring Danny Kaye, Walter Slezak, Barbara Bates, Elsa Lanchester, Gene Lockhart

The satirical bite of Gogol's play The Government Inspector is dispensed with in favor of traditional Danny Kaye buffoonery in The Inspector General. Kaye plays the illiterate stooge of two-bit medicine-show- entrepreneur Walter Slezak. Abandoned by Slezak, the starving Kaye wanders into a corruption-ridden Russian village, which is all geared up ...

Lifeboat

Lifeboat (1944) more movies like this

directed by Alfred Hitchcock
featuring Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, Walter Slezak, John Hodiak, Hume Cronyn, Mary Anderson

Seeking a creative challenge after several years' worth of fairly elaborate melodramas, director Alfred Hitchcock stages all of the action in Lifeboat in one tiny boat, adrift in the North Atlantic. The boat holds eight survivors of a Nazi torpedo attack: sophisticated magazine writer/photographer Constance Porter (Tallulah Bankhead), Communist ...

People Will Talk

People Will Talk (1951) more movies like this

directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
featuring Cary Grant, Jeanne Crain, Finlay Currie, Hume Cronyn, Walter Slezak

People Will Talk was less a movie than a conduit for the genteel liberalism of screenwriter/director Joseph M. Mankiewicz. Cary Grant plays Dr. Praetorius, an unorthodox medical professor at a sedate midwestern college who seems more interested in the human soul than in the cold facts of the human body. Praetorius' nemesis is a conservative rival ...

Rock Hudson stars in this frothy romantic comedy as filthy-rich American Robert Talbot.

The Princess and the Pirate (1944) more movies like this

directed by David Butler

In his second film for producer Sam Goldwyn, Bob Hope is felicitously teamed with luscious Goldwyn contractee Virginia Mayo.

The Pirate

The Pirate (1948) more movies like this

directed by Vincente Minnelli
featuring Judy Garland, Lester Allen, Gene Kelly, Jerry Bergen, Walter Slezak, Gladys Cooper, Jean Dean, Reginald Owen

When Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne appeared in S. N. Behrmann's The Pirate on Broadway, there were no musical numbers whatsoever. But with Gene Kelly and Judy Garland in the leading roles of the 1948 filmization of The Pirate, the MGM production staff would have been drawn and quartered had there not been song after song. The story is merely ...

Bedtime for Bonzo

Bedtime for Bonzo (1951) more movies like this

directed by Frederick de Cordova
featuring Diana Lynn, Walter Slezak, Lucille Barkley, Jesse White

Forget what you've been led to believe: Bedtime for Bonzo is a most enjoyable film, and Ronald Reagan is not outacted by the chimpanzee. Reagan is cast as psychology professor whose reputation is sullied by the fact that his father was a convict. To prove that environment rather than heredity dictates a man's personality, Reagan uses Bonzo the ...

Once Upon a Honeymoon

Once Upon a Honeymoon (1942) more movies like this

directed by Leo McCarey
featuring Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Walter Slezak, Albert Dekker, Albert Basserman

The surrealistic opening sequence, featuring a WW2 calendar as written "by A. Hitler", should be indication enough that Once Upon a Honeymoon is no ordinary lighthearted romantic trifle. Ginger Rogers plays Katie, an American chorus girl who seeks to better herself by marrying titled European Baron von Luber (Walter Slezak), despite the warnings ...

Black Beauty

Black Beauty (1971) more movies like this

Step Lively

Step Lively (1944) more movies like this

directed by Tim Whelan, Sr.
featuring Frank Sinatra, George Murphy, Adolphe Menjou, Gloria de Haven, Eugene Pallette, Walter Slezak

Previously filmed as a so-so Marx Brothers vehicle in 1938, the John Murray-Alan Boretz Broadway hit Room Service was effectively musicalized in 1944 as Step Lively. The plot remains intact: Fly-by-night theatrical producer Gordon Miller (Groucho Marx in the 1938 film, George Murphy in the remake) struggles to keep his production and cast together ...

Born to Kill (1947) more movies like this

directed by Robert Wise
featuring Lawrence Tierney, Claire Trevor, Walter Slezak, Phillip Terry, Audrey Long

Somehow the titles of the films of hardcase actor Lawrence Tierney seemed to be extensions of the man's personality, as witness such films as The Devil Thumbs a Ride and Born to Kill. In the latter picture, Tierney starts the ball rolling by committing a double murder in a jealous pique. Claire Trevor discovers the bodies, but says nothing to the ...

Michael (1924) more movies like this

directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer

Filmed in 1924 by the brilliant Danish director Carl Theodore Dreyer, the German drama Michael (Mikael) was released in the U.S. three years later under the more lurid title Chained. It was subsequently reissued as The Story of the Third Sex, an unsubtle allusion to the plotline's homosexual subtext. Fellow director Benjamin Christensen stars as ...
