I know this actor by a film de Ernst Lubistch in 1937, it is call Angel with Dietrich but i am
sur i saw him several times in others classics films.
Anyway, i have to write that in Angel the most funny caractères were him, Ernest Cossard and Laura Hope Crews.
In Angel Dietrich seems boring, it miss as her leading men somebody like Cooper or Gable
Who electrify her.
Anyway, i am really glad to write à comment because most of the time, i really dont know the actors of the news pages or if i know them, i have nothing to say.
But i can write that i have been coming every week for reading and following the news pages and returning on my fav pages.
Have à good day
Pierre
Lots of movies not on this list. But I felt with 60+ movies it would be best to put out this page…as who knows when we uncover those missing movies.
