Think the problem might be that Curtiz's filmography is so vast and varied, it's hard to get a handle on. Edited 4 June by Matthew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of the 150+ features movies that Curtiz has directed, I never came across to more than 5 of them in dvd stores.

Posted 5 June (edited) Red Dust. Clark Gable & Jean Harlow make a incendiary couple, definitely a Pre-Code movie. Edited 5 June by Matthew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 10 June Sgt. Bilko. To show you how slow on the up take I am, it was only this afternoon, watching this movie for about the 20th time, that I got the name Bilk-o, that he bilks people out of their money. I don't know I missed that one all these years. It's a dumb movie, but I really enjoy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
