1	Rebecca (1940) more movies like this directed by Alfred Hitchcock featuring Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Judith Anderson, Nigel Bruce Based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier, the classic psychological thriller Rebecca was Alfred Hitchcock's first American film.

2	The Women (1939) more movies like this directed by George Cukor featuring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Mary Boland, Joan Fontaine, Paulette Goddard Based on the Clare Booth Luce play of the same name, this MGM comedy is justly famous for its all-female cast and deft direction by George Cukor.

The sweet, happily wedded Mary Haines (Norma Shearer) finds her marriage in ... see all copies from £7.41! new only from £7.48!
3	Gunga Din (1939) more movies like this directed by George Stevens featuring Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Sam Jaffe, Eduardo Ciannelli, Joan Fontaine Though Rudyard Kipling's poem Gunga Din makes a swell recital piece, it cannot be said to have much of a plot. It's simply a crude cockney soldier's tribute to a native Indian water boy who remains at his job even after being mortally wounded. Hardly the sort of material upon which to build 118 minutes' worth of screen time-at least, it wasn't ... see all copies from £2.04! new only from £11.39!

Gradually, Fontaine comes to the conclusion ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £11.89!

7	A Damsel in Distress (1937) more movies like this directed by George Stevens featuring Fred Astaire, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Joan Fontaine, Reginald Gardiner Fred Astaire's first RKO musical without his longtime partner Ginger Rogers is one of his best from any period -- even though it's obvious that leading lady Joan Fontaine can't dance a step.

Upon surfacing, however, the crew discovers that the entire sky is on fire -- the ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £11.02!
9	Casanova's Big Night (1954) more movies like this directed by Norman Z. McLeod featuring Bob Hope, Joan Fontaine, Audrey Dalton, Basil Rathbone, Hugh Marlowe Bob Hope tries to capture the comic magic of his 1946 costume farce Monsieur Beaucaire with the splashy Technicolor romp Casanova's Big Night (filmed in 1952, released in 1954). Set in 18th century Venice, the film casts Hope as Pippo, the humble tailor of notorious ladies' man Casanova (an unbilled Vincent Price). When Casanova skips town without ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £5.89!
10	The Bigamist (1953) more movies like this directed by Ida Lupino featuring Edmond O'Brien, Joan Fontaine, Ida Lupino, Edmund Gwenn, Jane Darwell The title character is Edmond O'Brien, a lonely travelling salesman looking for love.

12 view cover	Decameron Nights (1953) more movies like this directed by Hugo Fregonese featuring Joan Fontaine, Louis Jourdan, Binnie Barnes, Joan Collins, Godfrey Tearle, Mara Lane Director Hugo Fregonese and writer George Oppenheimer do the unthinkable: they manage to transform Giovanni Boccaccio's bawdy -- and downright raunchy -- medieval tales of martial discontent and infidelity into harmless white-bread treacle. Louis Jourdan plays Boccaccio in a framing story set in a villa in the Florentine hills. With a widowed ... see all copies from £3.39! new only from £3.82!
