Some good flicks made before 1950
12 O’clock High, 1949. Gregory Peck leads a World War II bomber group.
Goodbye Mr. Chips, 1939. Robert Donat, Greer Garson. A schoolmaster contributes to the growth of his students
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, 1945. Dorothy McGuire. Growing up in the Brooklyn tenements.
The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer, 1947 Cary Grant, Myrna Loy. Some very funny stuff.
The Heiress, 1949. Olivia DeHavilland, Montgomery Clift. Great acting in a love story without a happy ending.
Casablanca, 1942. Predictable you say. I say great story plus Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre and Dooley Wilson
Going My Way, 1944. Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald. Not a terrific movie but overall very satisfying.
