Flirting Widow, The (1930)

A girl creates an imaginary lover to impress her father, but the lie gets in the way of true romance.

Dir: William Seiter Cast:  Dorothy Mackaill , Basil Rathbone , Leila Hyams .
72 min, TV-G
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: William A. Seiter. Dorothy Mackaill, Basil Rathbone, Leila Hyams, William Austin, Claude Gillingwater, Anthony Bushell. Gillingwater won't let his young daughter get married before her older sister (Mackaill) does, so Mackaill invents a fictitious fiance, only to have him actually show up in the suave personage of Rathbone. Stilted drawing-room antique must have seemed dated even in 1930.

D: Paul L. Stein. Constance Bennett, Kenneth MacKenna, Basil Rathbone, Rita La Roy, Louis John Bartels, ZaSu Pitts. Upscale divorce lawyer MacKenna gets out of an embarrassing case through a quick marriage of convenience to plain-Jane secretary Bennett. Then she, alone on her "honeymoon" cruise, meets handsome stranger Rathbone and blossoms. Pleasantly blonde romantic comedy.

Adaptation of Tolstoy's classic tale of a woman who deserts her family for an illicit love.

Dir: Clarence Brown Cast:  Greta Garbo , Fredric March , Freddie Bartholomew .
93 min, TV-14 , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Clarence Brown. Greta Garbo, Fredric March, Freddie Bartholomew, Maureen O'Sullivan, May Robson, Basil Rathbone. Tolstoy's tragic love chronicle makes excellent Garbo vehicle, with fine support from March as her lover, Rathbone her husband, and Bartholomew, her adoring son. Filmed before with Garbo as LOVE; remade three times.

76 min, TV-G , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: George B. Seitz. Aline MacMahon, Basil Rathbone, Mary Carlisle, Frank Albertson, Dudley Digges, Doris Lloyd, Donald Meek. MacMahon is being blackmailed and held prisoner in her own house by Rathbone and his cronies; fairly entertaining, but not as good as the remake. Adapted from the Edward Chodorov play, which was based on a Hugh Walpole story. Doris Lloyd, who plays the victim's sister here, took the role of her housemaid in the 1951 version.

Confession (1937)

A glamorous singer commits murder to protect her daughter's virtue.

Dir: Joe May Cast:  Kay Francis , Ian Hunter , Basil Rathbone .
87 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Joe May. Kay Francis, Basil Rathbone, Ian Hunter, Donald Crisp, Jane Bryan, Dorothy Peterson, Laura Hope Crews, Veda Ann Borg, Robert Barrat. Extremely stylish, well-acted soap opera in the MADAME X vein, with singer Francis recounting events leading up to her murder of oily Rathbone. Visually arresting, this looks more like a 1920s German film than a late 1930s Hollywood product; in fact, director May was a German emigre. Based very closely on the 1935 German film MAZURKA (which starred Pola Negri).

103 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Edmund Goulding. Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, David Niven, Donald Crisp, Melville Cooper, Barry Fitzgerald. Remake of 1930 classic is fine actioner of WW1 flyers in France; Rathbone as stern officer forced to send up green recruits, Flynn and Niven as pilot buddies, all excellent. Insightful study of wartime camaraderie and grueling pressures of battlefront command.

Dore Schary's plug for America uses several pointless episodes about the variety of people and places in U.S. Other segments make up for it in very uneven film.
