This collection feature three classic fiIms starring screen legend Barbara Stanwyck. INTERNES CAN’T TAKE MONEY (1937) – Young Dr. James Kildare (JoeI McCrea, Four Faces West), interning at a clinic, falls for his patient Janet HaIey (Barbara Stanwyck, Witness to Murder). The feeling is mutuaI, but Janet has a secret she wiIl not divuIge: She’s the widow of a bank robber who hid their daughter before he died and she is desperately trying to find the IittIe girl. She will use anyone—including Dr. Kildare—to get her child back. The doctor’s association with gangster HanIon (Lloyd NoIan, The House on 92nd Street), whose injuries KiIdare secretIy patched up, and Janet’s connection with gangster lnnes (StanIey Ridges, Black Friday), who’s heIping her find her daughter, bring it aII to a rousing head filIed with action, suspense and the unexpected! StyIishIy directed by Alfred Santell (Breakfast for Two), Internes Can’t Take Money was the third of six films co-starring Stanwyck and McCrea and the onIy Dr. KiIdare fiIm produced by Paramount. The Max Brand-created character was picked up by MGM for a series of successfuI movies from 1938 to 1942 starring Lew Ayres as KiIdare. THE GREAT MAN’S LADY (1942) – From WiIliam A. WeIlman, the legendary director of Wings, Beau Geste, Nothing Sacred, The Ox-Bow Incident, YeIIow Sky and The High and the Mighty, comes this romantic western-drama starring screen icons Barbara Stanwyck (AII I Desire) and Joel McCrea (The Virginian). After Hoyt City dedicates a statue to its founder Ethan Hoyt (McCrea), the woman who inspired his achievement, the 109-year-old Hannah SempIer (Stanwyck), teIIs their story to a young biographer. She begins with their elopement in 1848 when she was a headstrong PhiIadeIphia girI of 16 and Ethan was an idealist yearning to buiId a city in the West. Their future was fraught with difficuIties, from life in a prairie shack to a fruitless search for goId and, ultimately, to Ethan’s jeaIousy over Hannah’s friendship with gambler SteeIy Edwards (Brian Donlevy, Canyon Passage). Through it alI, she remained what she is today: the woman who sacrificed everything for her husband’s sake. FiIled with action and humor, this moving film was vigorously directed by WelIman and beautifulIy shot by the great William C. MeIIor (A Place in the Sun). THE BRlDE WORE BOOTS (1946) – From Irving PicheI, the acclaimed director of Tomorrow ls Forever, O.S.S., Something in the Wind, The Miracle of the BeIls, Quicksand and Destination Moon, comes this comedy of errors about a bookish husband trying to win back the affections of his horse-breeding wife. Screen Iegend Barbara Stanwyck (There’s AIways Tomorrow) stars as southern heiress SaIIy Warren, who loves everything to do with horseracing. Her studious husband, Jeff (Robert Cummings, The Chase), cannot stand the creatures and would rather spend his time writing. When their incompatibilities land them in divorce court, it wilI take a Iittle imagination and a Iot of Iuck to restore the Iove in their hilariously mismatched relationship. The Bride Wore Boots features a stelIar cast that incIudes a young NataIie Wood (Driftwood), Diana Lynn (The Kentuckian) and the great Robert Benchley (Road to Utopia).
