1	White Christmas (1954) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, Vera-Ellen, Dean Jagger White Christmas, Paramount's belated follow-up to the 1942 hit Holiday Inn, was the studio's first VistaVision production. A veritable warehouse full of oldie-but-goodie Irving Berlin tunes are woven into the film's simplistic plotline, along with a handful of new songs, of which "What Can You Do With a General?" is the least memorable.

2	Casablanca (1942) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre One of the most beloved American films, this captivating wartime adventure of romance and intrigue from director Michael Curtiz defies standard categorization. Simply put, it is the story of Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a world-weary ex-freedom fighter who runs a nightclub in Casablanca during the early part of WWII. Despite pressure from the ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £2.78!
3	The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz, William Keighley featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains, Patric Knowles In order to avoid the material copyrighted by Douglas Fairbanks Sr. for his 1922 Robin Hood, the scripters of this Flynn version relied on several legendary episodes that had never before been filmed, notably the battle between Robin and Little John (Alan Hale Sr., who played this part three times in his long career) and the "piggy-back" episode ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £6.93!
4	Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) more movies like this directed by Hugh MacMullan, Michael Curtiz featuring James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning Yankee Doodle Dandy is no more the true-life story of George M. Cohan than The Jolson Story was the unvarnished truth about Al Jolson -- but who the heck cares? Dandy has song, dance, pathos, pageantry, uproarious comedy, and, best of all, James Cagney at his Oscar-winning best. After several failed attempts to bring the life of legendary, flag ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £6.91!
5	Mildred Pierce (1945) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Joan Crawford, Jack Carson, Zachary Scott, Eve Arden, Ann Blyth Joan Crawford won an Academy Award for her bravura portrayal of the titular heroine in Mildred Pierce. The original James M. Cain novel concerned a tawdry waitress who slept her way to financial security so as to provide a rosy future for her beloved daughter, only to be rewarded by having her true love stolen away by that same daughter. Ranald ... see all copies from £3.39! new only from £6.14!
6	Captain Blood (1935) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Lionel Atwill, Ross Alexander When British actor Robert Donat dropped out of Warner Bros. Captain Blood, the studio took a chance on its new contractee, Tasmania-born Errol Flynn. Adapted from the novel by Rafael Sabatini, the film is set during the oppressive reign of King James II. Irish physician Peter Blood (Errol Flynn), arrested for treating a wounded anti-crown rebel, ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £9.71!
7	Life With Father (1947) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring William Powell, Irene Dunne, Monte Blue, ZaSu Pitts, Clara Blandick, Johnny Calkins, Emma Dunn, Edmund Gwenn, Elizabeth Taylor The longest-running non-musical play in Broadway history, Life With Father was faithfully filmed by Warner Bros. in 1947. William Powell is a tower of comic strength as Clarence Day, the benevolent despot of his 1880s New York City household. Irene Dunne co-stars as Day's wife Vinnie, who outwardly has no more common sense than a butterfly but who ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £2.77!
8	We're No Angels (1955) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray, Peter Ustinov, Joan Bennett, Basil Rathbone Samuel and Bella Spewack's English adaptation of French playwright Albert Husson's morbidly humorous stage piece My Three Angels was brought to the screen as the heavily laundered but still wickedly funny We're No Angels. The scene is French Guiana, a few days before Christmas. Humphrey Bogart, Peter Ustinov and Aldo Ray play three Devil's Island ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £7.56!
9	The Kennel Murder Case (1933) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring William Powell, Mary Astor, Eugene Pallette, Ralph Morgan, Helen Vinson Often (and accurately) described as a model of the whodunit genre, The Kennel Murder Case stars William Powell, making his fourth screen appearance as S. S. Van Dine's dilettante detective Philo Vance. This time the story involves intrigue at the Long Island kennel club. The murder victim is Robert H. Barrat, who works overtime making himself a ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £3.85!

And Captain Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn) is the boldest of the Sea Hawks, responsible for ... see all copies from £9.67! new only from £9.67!
11 view cover	The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Vincent Price, Donald Crisp, Alan Hale It is no secret that Bette Davis and Errol Flynn were at each other's throats throughout the filming of The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. Boiled down to essentials: Davis felt that Flynn was unprofessional, while Flynn thought that Davis took herself too damned seriously. Besides, Davis had wanted Laurence Olivier to play the Earl of Essex ... see all copies from £10.54! new only from £10.54!

13 view cover	Night and Day (1946) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Cary Grant, John Alvin, Alexis Smith, Eve Arden, Herman Bing, Monty Woolley, Jane Wyman, Paul Cavanagh, Dorothy Malone, Tom D'Andrea Faced with the challenge of writing a screenplay based on the life of fabulously wealthy, fabulously successful composer Cole Porter, one Hollywood wag came up with a potential story angle: "How does the S.O.B. make his second million dollars?" By the time the Porter biopic Night and Day was released, the three-person scriptwriting team still hadn ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £10.54!
14 view cover	Francis of Assisi (1961) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Bradford Dillman, Dolores Hart, Stuart Whitman, Pedro Armendáriz, Cecil Kellaway This penultimate film by director Michael Curtiz, perhaps best known for his 1942 Casablanca, is a verbose, routine religious drama on the life of St. Francis of Assisi. After quickly passing over St. Francis' early life as the son of a wealthy cloth merchant in Assisi, the story notes his talents in and out of battle. St. Francis hears the call ... see all copies from £7.56! new only from £7.56!
15 view cover	Young Man With a Horn (1950) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, Doris Day, Hoagy Carmichael, Juano Hernandez The life of tragic jazz great Bix Beiderbecke is given the "a clef" treatment in Warner Bros. Young Man With a Horn. Kirk Douglas plays the Beiderbecke character, here named Rick Martin. An ace trumpter player, Martin is one of the few white musicians to flourish in the black-dominated jazz scene of the 1920s. Chafing against the dullness of the ... see all copies from £4.16! new only from £10.45!
16 view cover	This Is the Army (1943) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring George Murphy, Joan Leslie, Ronald Reagan, Alan Hale, George Tobias, Charles Butterworth, Julie Oshins The splashy, star-studded This is the Army is based on the Irving Berlin Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was a reworking of Berlin's WW1 "barracks musical" Yip Yip Yaphank. In both instances, the cast was largely comprised of genuine servicemen, many of them either recently returned from fighting or on the verge of heading off to ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £2.77!
17 view cover	Santa Fe Trail (1940) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Raymond Massey, Ronald Reagan, Alan Hale Santa Fe Trail, Errol Flynn's third western, has precisely nothing to do with the titular trail. Instead, the film is a simplistic retelling of the John Brown legend, with Raymond Massey playing the famed abolitionist. The events leading up to the bloody confrontation between Brown and the US Army at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, are treated in a ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £2.77!
18 view cover	Jim Thorpe - All American (1951) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Burt Lancaster, Charles Bickford, Steve Cochran, Phyllis Thaxter, Dick Wesson Burt Lancaster stars as Jim Thorpe, the Native American sports whiz whom many consider the greatest athlete of the 20th century. We first see Thorpe as a child on the reservation, highly resistant to the notion of going to school.

19 view cover	The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Patric Knowles, Henry Stephenson, Donald Crisp, Nigel Bruce Of the many film versions of Alfred Lord Tennyson's narrative poem, 1936's Charge of the Light Brigade has the least relationship to the facts concerning the famous 19th century British military blunder in the Crimea. Reflecting the popularity of 1935's Lives of A Bengal Lancer, the film uses the climactic charge as the culmination of events which ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £10.45!
20 view cover	Passage to Marseille (1944) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring Humphrey Bogart, Michèle Morgan, Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Philip Dorn Designed as a followup to the enormously successful Casablanca, Passage to Marseille utilizes the talents of many of the on- and off-screen personnel of the earlier Warner Bros. classic. Unfolded in a complex flashback-within-flashback structure, this is the story of Matrac (Humphrey Bogart), a freedom-loving French journalist who sacrifices his ... see all copies from £3.19! new only from £5.54!
21 view cover	The Comancheros (1961) more movies like this directed by Michael Curtiz featuring John Wayne, Stuart Whitman, Ina Balin, Nehemiah Persoff, Lee Marvin Michael Curtiz's The Comancheros was a deceptively complex movie -- so enjoyable, that it masked some of the best character development seen in a John Wayne vehicle that was not directed by John Ford or Howard Hawks, and so well made that it got by with some of the most violent action seen in a major studio release of the era. It also bridged the ... see all copies from £2.77! new only from £7.56!
