Great, great year. Cary Grant broke out the same year Walt Disney did.The Awful Truth![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirAbgIAy-jtrgDVkAN5r7xXTqEYKpIPd9MwRaoUsuHa6E-TXGhIjkCRC1MIokHERGn2ndLWq6UKZFgRNcTvrvRnUj2EJ6FT2nZJC2t-faV3pf1_anGlUpCC8pvXcW3ZKRThDnFLHx5ywqr/s320/awful+truth+4.jpg)
Pretty perfect. The chemistry between Cary Grant and Irene Dunne is uncanny.

This isn't great, but it's funny, and William Powell and Myrna Loy are in it.

I saw this for the first time about a year ago. I still prefer Rules of the Game but the farmhouse sequence was one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen.
Lost Horizon![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXuPF4aqyUSDTtk0QlFuAvTtG9W4xLkcV0Nn7wAqls522lynrytRM7lTY2RyAdmSl8zR_9U1lh3B_CavwhNy2NjG9f8PCwWoJ-FtgVh_mICfSjp0bJo44DFvHudR-Mj24aQyUVjyuP69rw/s320/lost-horizon-screen-shot.jpg)
I love this story so much. The ending haunted me when I was a little kid.

Visually stunning French crime film. And the inspiration for Pepe Le Pew.
The Prisoner of Zenda![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4b3Ddl-qWG_-0yMI3UObJYHQOnbYitgiC0XT8UU-uXSTwpb5b7oT-CobGftAvKuZulLkrv9eumrbcqDjiLES3YY3aLi2Wy_SrCcYeR0asXw4iLE1A0hKoF2FnILkc1DdSVNCwjMNUMxsJ/s320/colman-0614.jpg)
Much better than the Stewart Granger version in the 1950s.
Shall We Dance![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOVyEQyC8CtFjc7ik5L-NAYQRiqQzI5e7Eol7ujLwjezq-if4Vnwlwuc38-9czg_3RJj1DgSoRQZqffOruxDh7vuuzvdmCLdrVmsz5Ryps4gODpQpM9dcIdDCSNFOqvznq-e2x-M3wngDe/s320/shallwe.jpg)
Not one of the best Astaire/Rogers vehicles but the singing and dancing are beautiful, as always.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSFn7-2wS18ayNYEApo9-YyNg4A6Q_ZSU0J7Wq609v9eizfQxAhgiR5Si3zt7zKETq74_-8wAyJtApoQLFo0vD1qYenUaJvTKtgGHxEi32wfflwfR-JrO3B4uhGDoygf9l1HTMZ6irEjEh/s320/snow-white-seven-dwarfs.jpg)
The first feature-length animated film and it's knocked out of the park. Remarkable.
Stage Door![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPOlaIpfkdtQWhhuyd3KkEVtEGDAz67ZCre-DjpXA98sHe6fa45yN2VdsmjdBsameqEuTpHkSxaCZfFSHYLD-9OLKqskXZoDM6TaYx9ydElANeMngGr2dFQD0GaBVPnujGbymsOFOsxKUr/s320/stagedoor.jpg)
A great movie. I don't understand why this isn't better known. And it shows that Ginger Rogers really knew how to act, and not just dance.
Young and Innocent![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAKH_jivYSeRTYfDn63pth8e85LkRe0J0fL2fvq6pHtcA3mcsfC7ENDTWRgojcZS52Yv0rj5ftxwgWmvW3NTEE-PHNtLF0aokErMDrZX9gHMXHf6RKCQ6BAgnhwRVlGHSifMf8lSPpfGSS/s320/younginnocent.jpg)
Pretty fun early Hitchcock but a little disappointing if you consider he made it between The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes.
