Jack Conway

Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, Lionel Barrymore, Frank Morgan, Walter Pidgeon
Jean Harlow offers her final screen performance in this witty and -- in retrospect -- quite moving racetrack comedy-drama co-starring Clark Gable and Walter Pidgeon.

Tarzan and His Mate

directed by
Cedric Gibbons, Jack Conway
featuring
Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, Paul Cavanagh, Forrester Harvey
Most Tarzan enthusiasts consider 1934's Tarzan and His Mate to be the best of the Johnny Weissmuller-Maureen O'Sullivan Tarzan efforts. Certainly it is the sexiest, with Weissmuller and especially O'Sullivan wearing next to nothing for most of the film's running time. Picking up where 1932's Tarzan the Ape Man left off, the film's plot is set in ...

Northwest Passage

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 ...

A Star Is Born

directed by
Jack Conway, William Wellman
featuring
Janet Gaynor, Fredric March, Adolphe Menjou, May Robson, Andy Devine
A Star is Born came into being when producer David O. Selznick decided to tell a "true behind-the-scenes" story of Hollywood. The truth, of course, was filtered a bit for box-office purposes, although Selznick and an army of screenwriters based much of their script on actual people and events. Janet Gaynor stars as Esther Blodgett, the small-town ...

Ronald Colman, Elizabeth Allan, Edna May Oliver, Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone
It is a tale known well, filmed many times over the years, but never better than this early black and white version from the MGM Studios, David O. Selznick producing. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"-- Charles Dickens juxtaposes England and France, George and Louis, tradition and revolution. One of the most beloved of Dickens' ...

Jean Harlow, Chester Morris, Lewis Stone, Leila Hyams, Una Merkel
Jack Conway complained about being assigned to direct this comedy, claiming that a woman like the title character had almost ruined his own marriage. In a way he had a point , but only Jean Harlow could have made gold digger Lil Andrews a sympathetic protagonist. And Katherine Brush's racy novel (which first appeared, serial-fashion, in the ...

While on board, Candy strikes up a friendship ...
