A German youth eagerly enlists as a soldier in World War I, but his enthusiasm wanes as he gets a firsthand view of the horrors of warfare.

This crackling mystery thriller stars Joan Blondell as a private duty nurse who gets herself mixed up in a murder investigation. Miss Adams has an unusual eye for detail, so when a police detective sends her undercover to solve a puzzling murder case, she unravels a complex plot, risking her life while she's at it.

The on-set murder of a gangster movie’s leading man sparks a police hunt for the killer with his co-star, director and studio head among the suspects.

The richest woman in the world (Ruth Chatterton) has everything money can buy. But with her heart torn between her faithless husband and an ardent writer (George Brent), she can't have the one thing every woman wants: happiness. Herbert Hoover was still President and the Depression was at its most depressing when this delicious wallow in uptown romance hit the Bijou, featuring an electric performance by young Bette Davis as a society girl also enamored of the writer. This wasn't the end of Davis' relationship with Brent. They would make 11 films together, including Jezebel and Dark Victory. It wasn't the end of the Chatterton-Brent relationship, either: the on-screen lovers married soon after the film opened.
