Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) |
Kids will like the film most because of the Dwarfs' hilarious antics. Grown-ups because they will think they're kids again. - California Eagle

The Crowd Roars (1938) |
The Crowd Roars could have been great drama -- real and compelling. As it is, the picture is a rousing little opus with two or three outstanding portrayals and the usual incredible, off-key happy ending. - California Eagle

A Man to Remember (1938) |
Its simplicity, truthfulness, and down to earth drama is more sharply etched because to the numerous scenes of biting satire. - California Eagle

South of Suez (1940) |

Escape (1940) |
The film effectively proves the following: (1) Conrad Veidt is one of the world's finest actors; (2) Robert Taylor is industriously learning how to act. - California Eagle

You Can't Take It With You (1938) |

Topper Returns (1941) |
Whatever lift the new Topper offers is found in the superb capering of Eddie (Rochester) Anderson. For the most part, however, this picture can't decide whether it's high comedy, mystery melodrama or burlesque. - California Eagle

Blood and Sand (1941) |
The fact that this film degenerates toward a dull funk in its concluding moments does not rob it of on unmatched pictorial beauty, the most sensitive and imaginative use of Technicolor yet recorded. - California Eagle
