LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:    

D: Edward Dmytryk. Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift, Eva Marie Saint, Lee Marvin, Nigel Patrick, Rod Taylor, Agnes Moorehead, Walter Abel. Humongous MGM attempt to outdo GWTW, with Taylor as spoiled Civil War-era belle who discovers marriage isn't all it's cracked up to be. Solid acting and memorable Johnny Green score help compensate for rambling, over-long script; Clift was disfigured in near-fatal car accident during production, and his performance understandably suffers for it. Reissued on video in 1999 with 15m. additional footage from "Roadshow Version.'' MGM Camera 65.

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:    

D: George Archainbaud. Evelyn Brent, Joel McCrea, Louis Wolheim, Raymond Hatton, Jean Arthur, Gavin Gordon, Blanche Sweet. Rugged version of Rex Beach's brawling novel about the struggle for control of Alaska's burgeoning salmon fishing industry. McCrea is young fisherman torn between shady lady Brent and debutante Arthur, resulting in a memorable catfight between the two. Dated action yarn bolstered by good cast and fine documentary-style location work.

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:    

D: J. Walter Ruben. Lionel Barrymore, Jean Arthur, Chester Morris, Joseph Calleia, Paul Kelly, Lewis Stone. Interesting but uneven hybrid of gangster yarn (with jailhouse theatrics dominating the first half) and romantic comedy. Arthur is always a pleasure to watch. Remade in 1941 as THE GET-AWAY.

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:    

D: Frank Capra. Gary Cooper, Jean Arthur, George Bancroft, Lionel Stander, Douglass Dumbrille, Mayo Methot, Raymond Walburn, Walter Catlett, H. B. Warner. Cooper is Longfellow Deeds, who inherits 20 million dollars and wants to give it all away to needy people. Arthur is appealing as the hard-boiled big-city reporter who tries to figure out what makes him tick. Capra won his second Oscar for this irresistible film, written by Robert Riskin (from Clarence Budington Kelland's story "Opera Hat''). Later a short-lived TV series. Remade in 2002.

D: Frank Capra. Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, James Stewart, Edward Arnold, Mischa Auer, Ann Miller, Spring Byington, Eddie "Rochester'' Anderson, Donald Meek, Halliwell Hobbes, Dub Taylor, Samuel S. Hinds, Harry Davenport, Charles Lane. George S. Kaufman Moss Hart play about eccentric but blissfully happy household becomes prime Capracorn, not quite as compelling today as MR. DEEDS or MR. SMITH (due to Robert Riskin's extensive rewriting), but still highly entertaining. Oscar winner for Best Picture and Director. Followed a half- century later by a TV series.

D: George Stevens. Jean Arthur, Joel McCrea, Charles Coburn, Richard Gaines, Bruce Bennett, Ann Savage, Ann Doran, Frank Sully, Grady Sutton. The wartime housing shortage forces Arthur to share a Washington, D.C., apartment with McCrea and crafty old codger Coburn (who won an Oscar for this comic performance). Highly entertaining, with Arthur at her peerless best. Remade as WALK, DON'T RUN.

D: James Whale. Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas, Charles Laughton, Gloria Stuart, Lilian Bond, Ernest Thesiger, Raymond Massey, Eva Moore. Outstanding melodrama (with tongue-in-cheek) gathers stranded travelers in mysterious Welsh household, where brutish butler Karloff is just one of many strange characters. A real gem, based on J. B. Priestley's Benighted; screenplay by Benn W. Levy and R. C. Sherriff. Remade in England in 1963.

D: Mark Robson. Boris Karloff, Anna Lee, Ian Wolfe, Richard Fraser, Billy House, Jason Robards, Sr. Atmospheric chiller of courageous Lee trying to expose shameful conditions at notorious 18th-century London insane asylum run by corrupt head Karloff. Producer Val Lewton also coscripted under pseudonym Carlos Keith. Robert Clarke appears unbilled.
