Description
––––––––––––––––
A beautiful divorcee. An ardent young man. And a love thwarted by a rigid
social code. Irene Dunne and John Boles, the stars of Back Street, share
another illicit romance in this film version of Edith WhartonÆs Pulitzer
Prize winner, a provocative novel that asserts women have a right to the
same freedoms men take for granted. Set in 1870s Manhattan, The Age of
Innocence follows a conventionally bred attorney who, although engaged,
falls in love with a woman who shocks the upper crust by daring to escape
a wretched marriage. The emotion inherent in the clash of personal
happiness and social convention is timeless: the story was filmed again
almost 60 years later with Daniel Day–Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer in the
lead roles.

DVD Studio: TCM Vault Collection

Director: William A. Wellman

Principal Cast: Irene Dunne, Richard Dix and Mary Boland

Description
––––––––––––––––––
Irene Dunne and Richard Dix team up in this exhilarating hybrid of musical and Western adventure set in Australia in 1874. Aspiring opera singer Hilda Bouverie (Dunne) is languishing at the home of her super–rich guardian (played by the hilarious Mary Boland) when she unwittingly falls for the mysterious bandit Stingaree (Dix). Disguised as a well–known composer and inspired by Hilda's mesmerizing voice, Stingaree gifts Hilda with one of his own compositions–– "Tonight is Mine"–– which subsequently puts her on the path to international fame. Of course, Stingaree captures Hilda's heart in the process. This boisterous film was Dunne's first showcase as a singer, and features several songs including "Stingaree Ballad," "Once You're Mine," and the ubiquitous "Tonight is Mine." Though it stands out as one of the more unusual items in director William Wellman's filmography, Stingaree was met with favorable reviews: The New York Times commented that the movie's "impossible happenings are highly entertaining." Stingaree is one of six RKO films of the 1930s previously thought "lost" but rediscovered and restored by TCM, and is now available on home video for the first time.

http://www.allrovi.com/movies/movie/lad … jam–v98492

DVD Studio: Universal Vault Series
DVD Release Date: April 25, 2011

Director: Gregory La Cava
Principal Cast: Irene Dunne, Patric Knowles and Ralph Bellamy

Description
––––––––––––––––
Irene Dunne plays a flibbetygibbet socialite who inherits a farm in Arizona. She can't seem to manage either her money or her private life, thus seeks advice from outside sources. Irene falls in love with fledgling Manhattan psychiatrist Patric Knowles, and marries him in the hope that he'll solve all her problems. Lady in a Jam was advertised as one of the most expensive comedies ever made; the studio was banking on the reputations of star Irene Dunne and director Gregory LaCava to draw crowds. But when the film failed (it shifted emotional gears a bit too often for 1942 film fans), both the lady and the gentleman found their careers in "a jam"––from which Dunne recovered but LaCava didn't.

––––––––––––––––
Ruth GordonÆs play is the source of this delightful comedy (written by Oscar winner Sidney Buchman, 1941, Here Comes Mr. Jordan) about a newspaper reporter who quits to join the Army during WW2, infuriating his editor and perplexing his wife, a famous novelist and screenwriter.

To make matters worse: at almost 40, heÆs having trouble remembering all the things heÆs supposed to be learning. Can the marriage survive? Will America win the war without him? Starring: Irene Dunne, Alexander Knox, Charles Coburn, Jeff Donnell, Lee Patrick. Director: Charles Vidor (Gilda). Newly remastered.

Finders keepers. Amid the comings and goings at Union Depot, on–the–grift Chic and his pal Scrap Iron retrieve a dropped baggage–claim ticket.

With top Talkie Era stars (Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Joan Blondell) and come–hither pre–Code e'lan and innuendo, Union Depot is the place for ôgreat fun, brimming with early–1930s flavorö (Leonard MaltinÆs Classic Movie Guide).

Principal Cast: Chester Morris, Joan Blondell

Studio Description
––––––––––––––––––
Joan Blondell, one of HollywoodÆs most memorable blondes, gets top billing in this protofeminist crime yarn as tough as a taxi dancerÆs heart. BlondellÆs first starring role was also a change of pace for a contract player usually cast as a chorus cutie or the male leadÆs loyal doxy. Instead she plays the title character, a Depression–downtrodden waif who uses her brains instead of her body to rise from tyro con artist to crime boss. A terrific supporting cast û Chester Morris, Allen Jenkins. Mae Busch, Sterling Holloway û comes along for the rags–to–rackets ride through all the murder and double–crossing that make crime melodrama great entertainment. This time with a womanÆs touch.

Bold. Brassy. Beautiful. And blonde! Joan Blondell added snap and
sauce to every feature she appeared in, whether as a delectable
leading lady or as a powerhouse character actress. In the first of
this pair of pre–Code capers, Joan Blondell mixes it up with Pat
O'Brien in I've Got Your Number as a telephonic twosome who use their
wired wiles when they cross lines with some caustic crooks. While in
the second outing, Joan plays another kind of 'working gal'
altogether, an ex–hoofer working the grift down Cuba way with gal pal
Glenda Farrell, posing as a pair of Havana Widows. Unfortunately, one
of the 'widows' finds herself falling for the son of their sugar
daddy –– what's a poor working girl to do?

Studio Description
––––––––––––––––––
The priorities are clear for Army nurses on Bataan Peninsula in 1942. Take your quinine, malaria is rampant. Make do, supplies will not arrive. Stay strong, despite the overwhelming odds. The nation was shaken by the plight of U.S. and Filipino forces in the early days of America's World War II involvement, and Hollywood responded with three powerful 1943 films about that conflict: Bataan, So Proudly We Hail! and Cry 'Havoc,' a tale of courage and camaraderie featuring an all–female credited cast. Margaret Sullavan portrays the overworked head nurse guiding an inexperienced staff of civilian volunteers: a burlesque queen (Joan Blondell), a waitress (Ann Sothern), a Southern belle, a socialite and more –– all heroes.

Description
––––––––––––––––
In the war between the blue and the gray, one soldier is yellow! When a cantankerous Union colonel is labeled a coward after his horse bolts for the rear, the brass puts him in command of a company of the brainless and brawnless and sends them all West. The idea is to keep the misfits out of action. Instead, they ride straight into slapstick encounters with a purty spy, a passel of happy–go–lucky harlots, a shipment of Union gold and a wily band of Johnny Rebs. Destry Rides Again director George Marshall takes the reins of another frontier comedy and brings a dandy cast with him: Glenn Ford, Melvyn Douglas and a rowdy roster of Hollywood character stars that stretches from Jim Backus to Joan Blondell.

Studio Description
––––––––––––––––––
That little number called Angel Face (Norma Shearer) is sure a cutie. No wonder men lose their hearts to heràjust before they lose their wallets! Draped in Adrian gowns and exuding saucy charm, Shearer makes her last silent film a fun one, portraying a tough cookie who falls among thieves even shadier than she is, cons them at their own grifts and marries what she thinks is a wealthy young son of the South. (She got the young and South parts right.) But love conquers all, and she opts for penniless wedded bliss û until her old partners in crime show up and threaten to spill the beans. But theyÆre still no match for Angel Face.

Video looks decent. A bit too bright though. Sound is clear.

This is a precode movie about 2 families who are emotionally devastated by divorce. Infedility, suicide, and family dysfunction mark the film and likely prevent it from being released after the code. All the actors give good performances, but since this was 1929, some overacting brought over from the theater does make it's way into the perfomances of the actors. But it doesn't distract from the story.

CONTEMPORARY REVIEW

Their Own Desire (1929)
May 4, 1933
An Aviation Drama.
By MORDAUNT HALL
Published: January 25, 1930

Although "Their Own Desire," a talking picture now at the Capitol, leaps from comedy into extravagant melodrama and the director cuts corners, it is a film with excellent photography and competent acting. It is a feature with both pleasing and annoying incidents, a tale that goes on for a while in a promising fashion and then becomes more than slightly absurd.

Everything is merry and bright in the beginning, with Lally Marlett acted by Norma Shearer, and her father playing polo. They are devoted to each other. Mrs. Marlett is sympathetic, but suddenly, a Mrs. Cheever bursts into the scene and without sufficient reason she ensnares Marlett.

Lally, played charmingly by Norma Shearer, is obviously a bright girl, but nevertheless her parents are able to keep her in the dark concerning a forthcoming divorce suit. One day Lally is told by her mother to go to her father's study and bid him good–bye. She does so and Marlett, who is a novelist, is discovered by his daughter embracing Mrs. Cheever.

Following the Marlett divorce and Marlett's marriage of Mrs. Cheever, the story then turns to Lally's meeting of young Cheever. For a whole day he does not know that her name is Marlett and neither is she aware that his name is Cheever. So soon as they do learn each others identity, Lally is at first impelled to keep away from this young man.

Jack Cheever is an exasperating person, who reminds one of William Haines's characters. He is a persistent pursuer of the girl he is supposed to love and one would imagine that Lally would rebuff him at their first encounter.

The tale jogs on with tiffs and misunderstandings that are topped off by a storm which turns an inland lake into a veritable ocean. The suspense is wrought in a carpenter–like fashion, with action chopped off here and sawed off there.

Lally and Jack are presumed to be drowned and possibly those who had never seen a motion picture would take this for granted and leave their seats. But it would never do for an attractive girl such as Miss Shearer to perish in any film, and so, after much fuss and hunting for the young people in an airplane, they are found on an island.

Miss Shearer's spontaneity and pleasing diction are worthy of a more plausible chronicle than that of this current film. Lewis Stone does well by the part of Marlett; he can't help being discovered in a comprising situation devised by the director. Belle Bennett is sympathetic as Mrs. Marlett, and Robert Montgomery at least reveals that he has ability in the r⌈le of the irrepressible Jack Cheever.

More Children of Divorce.
THEIR OWN DESIRE, with Norma Shearer, Belle Bennett, Lewis Stone, Robert Montgomery, Helene Millard, Cecile Cunningham, Henry Herbert, Mary Doran and June Nash, based on a story by Starita Fuller, directed by E. Mason Hopper; "Gym–Jams," devised and staged by Chester Hale, with Nat Nazarro Jr., Bobby Walthour Jr., Hickey Brothers, Flo Mayo and others. At the Capitol Theatre.

Modern Review

Their Own Desire
Beautiful, vivacious Lally (Norma Shearer) lives a pampered and sheltered life. Brilliant at polo and quick with the verbal repartee, she is the life of every party and the apple of her father Hal's (Lewis Stone) eye. That is until the long married, restless Hal abandons Lally and breaks her mother's heart by marrying a pretty, much younger Beth Cheever (Helene Millard). Lally and her depressed mother (Belle Bennett) flee for their summer home on Lake Michigan where they try to recover from the dissolution of Harriet and Hal's 23–years of marriage. While vacationing Lally falls head over heels for a handsome, charismatic Princetonian, Jack Cheever (Robert Montgomery), until she learns he is the son of her father's new bride.

A tangled melodrama with an engaging performance from Norma Shearer as its centerpiece, Their Own Desire (1929) is also notable for its action packed screenplay (by Frances Marion) that includes an apparent suicide, a climax involving Lally and Jack lost in a boat during a storm on Lake Michigan and numerous complications aimed at keeping the lovers apart.

Though hyperbolic by today's low–key acting standards, Shearer's charisma carried this drama through its many shifts of emotion. Especially convincing is Shearer's transformation from the perky, fun–loving party girl, to the love–sick woman trying to distance herself from the man she loves out of loyalty to her mother.

Shearer received an Academy Award« nomination for her role as Lally, and she did win the Best Actress Oscar« that year, though not for Their Own Desire. Instead, Shearer –– who was nominated five times for Best Actress Oscars« over the course of her career –– won her statuette for The Divorcee (1930).

As a child Shearer moved in 1920 from her native Montreal to Hollywood with her mother and sister, who would later marry director Howard Hawks. In 1927 Shearer struck her own power deal with her marriage to MGM production chief Irving Thalberg. Some claimed that this well–placed marriage was the key to her success, since Shearer was soon able to cherry pick the best roles in the MGM repertoire. But in many ways Shearer merely represented the polished, ideal MGM star in films like Marie Antoinette (1938) and The Women (1939), demonstrating an admirable ability to shift gears and never allow herself to be typecast. And this "First Lady of the Screen" also made her fair share of bad career choices. After Thalberg's death in 1936 she turned down starring roles in Gone With the Wind (1939) and Mrs. Miniver (1942).

If Shearer was the First Lady of the thespian ranks, screenwriter Frances Marion was the First Lady of Hollywood Letters. Her script work on Their Own Desire (with dialogue provided by playwright James Forbes) was just one of the 150 scenarios, stories and adaptations she worked on over her prolific, highly profitable career.

Shearer's co–star in Their Own Desire was the well–born Robert Montgomery, the product of prestigious prep schools who ultimately had to find menial work when his wealthy father died penniless. After a successful stint in Hollywood playing the reliably handsome, happy–go–lucky romantic lead to such screen legends as Shearer, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Myrna Loy, Montgomery went on to distinguish himself in other ways. He served three terms as president of the Screen Actor's Guild, earned a Bronze Star for his role in the D–Day invasion and affirmed his conservative political leanings when he testified in 1947 as a friendly witness at Washington's HUAC trials, meant to root "Communists" out of Hollywood's ranks.

Montgomery made a name for himself as a director as well and in 1945 filled in for a bedridden John Ford on the set of They Were Expendable (1945). He also contributed some innovative point–of–view camerawork to his adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel, Lady in the Lake, 1947) with himself in the lead as detective Philip Marlowe. In 1955 Montgomery won a Tony for directing the Broadway production of "The Desperate Hours" and went on to father television actress (Bewitched) Elizabeth Montgomery.

True wit meets marital grit in this timeless Noel Coward comedy about two bon vivants who canÆt live without û or with û each other. Having barely survived the warefare of their wedlock, Amanda (Norma Shearer) and Elyot (Robert Montgomery) decide the play it safe, choosing dull mates to marry the second time around. But pedestrian is no match for passion, especially when mixed with proximity û as in adjourning honeymoon suites! Off they go, leaving stunned new spouses to console each other. But it isnÆt lomg until the brawls begin again. Montgomery was never more suave and Shearer never more slinky than in this pinnacle of the sophisticated comedy. A true classic regularly produced on stages everywhere, this was CowardÆs personal favorite of all his plays.

A nun (Claudette Colbert) races against time to prove the innocence of a convicted murderess (Ann Blyth) who is being escorted to prison for a date with the gallows in Thunder on the Hill.

In addition to Douglas Sirk's fast–paced direction, the film is enriched by Hans J. Salter's stirring dramatic score, a first rate supporting cast and the luminous black and white cinematography of William H.

Vacationing at a ski resort, retired screen diva Norma Shearer noticed a picture of pretty Jeanette Morrison. In no time Jeanette had a screen test, a new name û Janet Leigh û and the lead opposite heartthrob Van Johnson in The Romance of Rosy Ridge. Coltish, wide–eyed and talented, Leigh was the ideal choice to play a coltish, wide–eyed beauty in this poignant love story set in the post–Civil War Ozarks, where folks are still divided blue versus gray. When an ex–soldier (Johnson) comes to the troubled town wearing military britches so faded no one can tell the original color, he gets the locals all riled up û especially when he courts the daughter (Leigh) of an ex–Johnny Reb (Thomas Mitchell) who reckons the newcomer may be a damned Yankee!
