Arrowsmith from 1931 with Ronald Coleman, Helen Hayes, Clarence Brooks and Myrna Loy Arrowsmith is based on a big book by Sinclair Lewis.

It's pre-code in its subject matter, but traditional in its values, in a very believable way. Plus...- Fading Fast

When Strangers Marry from 1944 with Kim Hunter, Robert Mitchum, Dean Jagger and Neil Hamilton While billed as a noir and with an interesting cast, When Strangers Marry is a low-budget effort that feels more like a The Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Present TV episode from a decade or so...- Fading Fast

The Most Dangerous Game from 1932 with Joel McCrea, Fay Wray and Leslie Banks One of the joys of early 1930s movies is their, often, concise storytelling as seen in The Most Dangerous Game's runtime of sixty-three taut minutes that rips along from setup, to climax, to conclusion with little...- Fading Fast

I don't have it anymore as it was given to Goodwill in a move, but this is what my copy look liked. It was a cheap paperback that I bought in the late 1980s/early1990s and read on a few long train rides. I probably read ten or so Saint books before I moved on, but I enjoyed "living in his world"...- Fading Fast
