arpirose Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I am listing my favorite PARAMOUNT FILMS from the 1930s in not in particular order. 1, HANDS ACROSS THE TABLE 1935 . a great film with a terrific performance by CAROLE LOMBARD 2. CITY STREETS 1932 a precursor to Noir 3. Death Takes a Holiday 1934 . a great fantasy film about death and mortality. 4. BEAU GESTE 1939 one of the best adventures films ever made 5. MIDNIGHT 1939 A great cast in high comedy that includes Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, John Barrymore and Mary Astor 6. Peter Ibbetson . another terrific film that Gary Cooper shines. 7. Honeymoon In Bali . a forgotten film that I personally love. Madelaine Carroll is at her best. 8. The General Died at Dawn 1935 a great atmospheric film with Cooper, Ms. Carroll and Akim Tamiroff 9. DUCK SOUP . THE MARX BROTHERS BEST FILM 10. SHANGHAI EXPRESS 1932 My favorite Dietrich film from Paramount. There are so many more films that are worthy of recognition. This from A studio, which was one of the best in output with class, wit and intelligence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
