Newly Rich (1931) Whom The Gods Destroy (1934) More Than A Secretary (1936) Lights Of New York (1928)
Mitzi Green Fights Like a Boy! Director Norman Taurog was developing quite a specialty directing kids during the early talkie era, and lucky for us he kept coming back to it. NEWLY RICH (aka FORBIDDEN ADVENTURE, based on Sinclair Lewis' LET'S PLAY KING) is one of the more obscure examples, and deserves our attention. Inspired by the Titanic tragedy, Whom the Gods Destroy is a tour de force for character actor Walter Connolly. The star is cast as theatrical entrepreneur John Forrester, who finds himself on board an ocean liner crippled in a shipwreck. Secretary Carol Baldwin (Jean Arthur) is in love with her boss, health-magazine publisher Fred Gilbert (George Brent). So what else is new? Lights of New York was the first all-talking feature film. The plot is quite simple. Two country barbers naively buy into a barber
shop on Broadway that fronts as a speak-easy for "The Hawk", a
gangster. When they learn the truth they can't afford to get out,
because the younger barber, Eddie, has all of his mother's money tied
up in the place. This early talkie is loads of fun for the enthusiast of these
pioneering works!

Car 99 (1935) Animal World, The (1956) Four Clowns (1970) Interference (1928)
In his first starring role (after being second-billed to Claudette Colbert in The Gilded Lily), Fred MacMurray plays officer Ross Martin of the Michigan State Police.

After completing his training, Martin is pitted against dignified Professor Anthony (Sir Guy Standing), who uses his academic status as a cover for his bank-robbery activities.
The film begins with a thumbnail history of life on earth, then shows the audience how ancient habits and instincts die hard.

Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen, the team responsible for the stop-motion animation in 1949's Mighty Joe Young, lavish their expertise on the film's opening dinosaur-battle sequence.
Robert Youngson once again compiles scenes from the golden age of comedy's silent film era. William Powell's first all-talking picture also stars Evelyn Brent as scheming Deborah Kane, who sets out to blackmail
Faith Marley (Doris Kenyon), the above-reproach wife of Sir John Marlay (Clive Brook).
