It is one of the films that I recall, when Sophia Loren has appeared more ravishingly beautiful ever!!!....Remember Gregory Peck Looking at her like "in awe" saying to her: "hello, hello, hello,..."...great chemistry between those two...and Loren's lips, cheekbones and eyes....sultry!.

John Barrymore was a one-of-kind-man...he wasn't even afraid of either Louella or Hedda...nor was Tallulah...great personalities!

I'd love to watch lovely Eleanor Parker in that one...as well, as in Between Two Worlds, Escape Me Never and Never Say Goodbye...

sorry: Wild...I'm always typing in a hurry!

Wilde guess, for another clue: "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek"?
-
As for "Adventure"...For me, there's a tie between "The Thief of Baghdad" and "The Sea Hawk" (both 1940).

Of Human Bondage (1934-RKO)(with Bette Davis and Leslie Howard) has been remade twice already: in 1946 (WB) with Eleanor Parker and Paul Henreid and in 1964 (Seven Arts-UA) with Kim Novak and Laurence Harvey.

Moira I just loved Leslie Howard opposite Wendy Hiller in "Pygmalion" (masterpiece)...also loved Wendy's and Rex Harrison in "Major Barbara". Leslie Howard was much more than only Ashley Wilkes. When I saw last night "Stand-In"...."It's Love I'm After", immediately came to my mind! But haven't seen it, yet. He had talent for comedy and drama.
Loved his pairing with Ann Harding in the cute 1931 "Devotion" and especially in the great "Animal Kingdom" opposite Harding, Myrna Loy and Ilka Chase. He was good too in Shearer's "A Free Soul". Also he was great oppiste Bette Davis, Frances Dee and Kay Johnson in "Of Human Bondage" and with Bette Davis in "Petrified Forest"
He was outstanding as the "Scarlet Pimpernel" with Merle Oberon, great adventure yarn!
Would love to see him in "Outward Bound" (missed it the other day), "Smilin' Through", "Never the Twain Shall Meet" and especially: "Berkeley Square" and Borzage's "Secrets" with Mary Pickford.
Have "Intermezzo" taped....yet to watch!....."Romeo and Juliet" with Shearer, is also nice watching.
Many people are prejudiced against Leslie Howard, because of his role as the "weak" Ashley in GWTW, when he was much more than that!

Path.."The Swan" has been a fave of mine, since a kid...Grace Kelly never looked more lovely on screen...really a "swan song" from a star (she retired from the screen, after this one, oddly enugh playing a Princess, which she became)...and Louis Jourdan, Alec Guinness, Jessie Royce-Landis...and Estelle Winwood?...are all great....Do you know that this story was first filmed as a silent in 1925, starring Frances Howard?...future Mrs Samuel Goldwyn?...and that it was remade as an early talkie starring Lillian Gish in 1930? (One Romantic Night, think was the title)....based on Ferenc Molnar's play?
-
I once read Mary Astor's autobiography...originally published in the 1950's or 1960's?...as a young lad, I borrowed from my School Library....and I loved it!!...If you can get your hands on that book Mary Lou....you would read it in a week!!!
Nice idea a Box Set of her movies...but this Box Set must include "Dodsworth" (chuckles)

Another wild guess: Gregory LaCava

the Old MAID?

I want to share with you pals my feelings after watching this sort of unknown gem, a funny engaging comedy, produced by Walter Wanger and released "thru" United Artists:
The film was really a very fine surprise for me, because the starring couple: Leslie Howard and Joan Blondell, have a great "chemistry" goin' on there...Who would have thought that!; The english gentleman per-se and the fast-talking-american dame, ignite fireworks as a romantic team! What a pleasant surprise!
Leslie Howard plays the representative of a Bank who is sent to take charge of a Hollywood studio, to prevent it from being sold for less than it is worth (to an unscrupulous tycoon, impersonated by C. Henry Gordon), there he meets by chance, wisecracking and experienced Stand-In, Joan Blondell, ex-child star (a "has-been"). Howard's very good at numbers, financial figures, etc. but is a complete disaster to face "the real facts of life"...there comes Blondell, to "open his eyes".
Fine acting by Humphrey Bogart as a tough producer in love with a phony star (Marla Shelton). Alan Mowbray is great as another phony, a "temperamental" european director and Jack Carson is usually right as a fast-talking wise-guy.
An unknown gem, that made me laugh a lot, 'cos Leslie Howard is really very good at comedy and makes (oddly enough) an excellent match with Ms. Blondell. Fine Comedy.
Very funny situations and swiftly paced. Completely recommended viewing, for old movie fans and film-buffs in general.
