Errant husbands trick their wives so they can secretly attend a fraternal order’s weekend convention in Chicago. Many believe this is the team’s best feature, both a critical success and one of the year’s top ten box office draws. The film has much subtlety and was meticulously plotted, but also exults in bone-crushing slapstick. Mr. Hardy winds up the target of endless pots, pans and kitchen crockery all hurled with unerring accuracy by his tyrannical wife, played by Mae Busch. A popular tune, HONOLULU BABY by studio music director Marvin Hatley, came out of this picture. During the 1970s and 1980s Hatley enjoyed playing his composition at gatherings of the “mystic” group designed to propagate the spirit and genius of Laurel & Hardy. This group was named, for the film aimed squarely at kidding all such fraternal organizations, and launched with the blessing of Stan Laurel himself: SONS OF THE DESERT. Directed by William A. Seiter. With Charley Chase as an obnoxious lodge member and Dorothy Christie as Mr. Laurel’s beautiful, guntoting wife.

The Marx Brothers, Lucille Ball and dancing diva Ann Miller create madcap Marxian mayhem in the hilarious Room Service. Small-time Broadway producer Gordon Miller (Groucho Marx) is deep in debt and the only way out is for his new play Hail and Farewell to open. Now, in the Great White Way hotel, Miller, director Harry Binelli (Chico Marx) and business manager Faker Englund (Harpo Marx) resort to pawning their naïve playwright's typewriter, simulating a measles outbreak and then faking the suicide of the hapless playwright to avoid paying their bills as they desperately try to con someone--anyone--into backing the play.

If it's scandalous, sensational and hush-hush, New York columnist William Poster is the guy who lurks inside the speakeasies or slips beyond the backstage doors to find it. But after he breaks a story about an infamous politico's murder, the next time Poster's name appears in print may be in the obituaries. Ricardo Cortez portrays Poster in a snappy pre-Code tale that's one of many films supervised by David O. Selznick at RKO in the early 1930s. "It is a shrewd, witty and scathing portrait, and Mr. Cortez plays the part to the hilt," wrote critic Andre Sennwald. First-billed Helen Twelvetrees plays Poster's forgiving Broadway sweetie. Other notables include future Charlie Chan-series star Sidney Toler as the murderous speakeasy proprietor and Robert Armstrong as a rival columnist. Less than a year later, Armstrong would journey to Skull Island in executive producer Selznick's King Kong.

Mountie Angus "Monty" Montague (Randolph Scott) and his sweetheart (and Standing's daughter), Vicky (Margaret Lockwood), appoint themselves as Susannah's unofficial parents, doing their best to help the girl overcome her terrible ordeal. Eventually, it is "little miss fix-it"Susannah who brings peace between the Mounties and the Blackfeet, but not before Monty is nearly burned at the stake by the renegade Indian responsible for fomenting all the trouble.

This lavish Shirley Temple starrer is set in New York, sometime in the 1850s. While lovable pickpocket "Professor" Eustace Appleby works the crowd, his talented granddaughter Dimples (Temple) dances for pennies. Dimples demands that Appleby stop his thieving ways, but every time he tries to follow the straight and narrow, he comes out the loser (most memorably when he's hoodwinked by a dapper con man played by John Carradine). While Dimples entertains at the home of society matron Mrs. Caroline Drew (Helen Westley), Appleby pilfers several valuable objects. This time he's caught with the goods, but Dimples gallantly takes the blame. Touched by this, Mrs. Drew adopts the little girl, enabling her to find success on the legitimate stage.

When Ching-Ching's (Shirley Temple) missionary guardians are killed by Chinese bandits, she must fend for herself on the streets of Shanghai. Taking refuge from the rain in a car's open trunk, Ching-Ching wakes up to find the car on a ship bound for America.

But when the two adults meet in divorce court, it's up to Ching-Ching to make them realize that they are in love.

Fun's in fashion when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (plus Irene Dunne and Randolph Scott) enter the ultrachic Parisian world of high fashion in Roberta. The third Astaire/Rogers film, a silky screen adaptation of the 1933 Broadway hit, has all that fans have come to expect from the pair's movies: a jaunty romantic plot, fabulous sets, memorable music and above all, incomparable dance magic to match the score. "The most pleasant moments in Roberta," Time reported, "arrive when Astaire and Rogers turn the story upside down and dance on it." Astaire may sing I Won't Dance. But his feet betray him.

American screen icon and Oscar-winner John Wayne ("Stagecoach," "True Grit," "The Searchers") leads a rebel group of settlers against a savage British captain in order to stop the sale of firearms to Indians. Academy Award-winners George Sanders ("All About Eve," "The Picture of Dorian Gray"), Claire Trevor ("Murder, My Sweet," "Key Largo") and Oscar-nominees Brian Donlevy ("Beau Geste") and Chill Wills ("The Alamo," TV's "Francis (The Talking Mule)") join the Duke in this exciting frontier adventure.
