The Day of the Locust (1975) more movies like this

directed by John Schlesinger
featuring Donald Sutherland, Karen Black, Burgess Meredith, William Atherton, Geraldine Page

The Day of the Locust is anything but a cheerful, light look at Hollywood in the '30s.

The movie tells the twin tales of talentless wannabe actress Faye Greener (Karen Black) and Homer Simpson (Donald Sutherland), a lovelorn ...

directed by Lewis Milestone
featuring Burgess Meredith, Lon Chaney, Jr., Betty Field, Charles Bickford, Roman Bohnen

Pot O' Gold (1941) more movies like this

directed by George Marshall
featuring James Stewart, Paulette Goddard, Burgess Meredith, Horace Heidt, Charles Winninger, Mary Gordon

James Stewart once classified Pot O' Gold as his worst film, though this may have stemmed from his reported inability to get along with his costar Paulette Goddard (who is supposed to have dismissed Stewart's acting technique with a flippant "Anyone can swallow.") Inspired by the popular radio giveaway series of the same name, the film represented ...
