I’ve seen just 4 Alice Brady films, I may have seen more, not sure.
Favorites are – In Old Chicago, The Gay Divorcee and My Man Godfrey. I’ve also seen Golddiggers of 1935.
Warbling teen idol Deanna Durbin has two huge films near the top of the box office chart, she really was popular back then eh? [Bob grins]
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….thanks for the visit and comment. Tally count: bob cox with a win with a tally count of 9. Flora gets the silver with 8, you get the bronze with 4…..and I bring up the end with 3. My three seen are your favorites…so I think I watched the right ones. Ms. Durbin was a much bigger star than I would have guessed….Bob really opened my eyes to that. Good stuff as always.
i saw 9 of top 10. 10 and favorite 100 men and a girl. 10 not favorite my man godrey. 9 and favorite three smart girls. the rest are 8s except go west young man a 4 , i am not a Mae west fan
Hey bob cox…..a tally count victory for you. I have seen 3, Flora sits at 8 and sitting alone in first place is the “other bob” with 9. Good ratings on some of her more famous movies. I have not seen 100 men and a girl…..but will see if I can track that one down. I am right there with you on Mae West. For an actress with so few movies…it seems strange that almost every single movie seems the same. Good stuff as always.

Hey Dan….it might be short but it is still good information. The five on the first list all had very long and very productive careers…..Mickey Rooney got another movie added to his page when I did this page….seems there are many Rooney movies that I was not able to find box office totals back then…so it is always interesting to me when I uncover one of his older movies. 10 Oscar winners is pretty good. I have pages on all of them with the exception of Jane Darwell. Good stuff as always.
