Yes indeed # 80 is The Road Back originally released in 1937. As Bruce mentioned it was a sequel to All Quiet On The Western Front.
On January 14 of this year it was announced that The Road Back was to be screened at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival ( Feb 11-21 ). The following is from a press release announcing this.
''The U.S. film directed by James Whale in 1937 , references a slice in German history. It is based on the eponymous Erich Maria Remarque novel about four German infantrymen who face a difficult road back to civilian life.
In 1939, after protests from Germany, Universal Studios re-edited the film without consulting the director. The festival is showing a reconstruction of Whale's original 1937 release version, presented by the Library of congress in collaboration with NBCUniversal and Martin Scorsese's The Film Foundation. David Stenn and the UCLA Film & Television Archive provided skills and film footage''.
I am thinking the word skills was a typo and it should have read stills.
Images # 84 ( Far top ), # 85 ( centre ) and # 86 ( just above ). Name the film titles. Image 84 taken off Australian daybill and 85 and 86 taken off non Australian posters.
85 is bugging me because I know I've seen this one!
Correct again Ves. Hitler's Madman ( 1943 ) and Conspiracy Of Hearts ( 1960 ).
Some interesting trivia from IMDB regarding Hitler's Madman.
''Although this film was originally filmed by poverty-row studio Producers Releasing Corp. ( PRC ), the word got out in Hollywood that the picture was far and away the best thing PRC had ever done; eventually MGM executives got a look at it, were suitably impresses, bought it from PRC and it was released as an MGM picture.''
I will add here the film was directed by German born film director Douglas Sirk who went on to have a successful career at Universal International in the 1950s directing some well remember melodramas such as Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows, Written On The Wind and Imitation Of Life.
Thanks Charlie. It is a beautiful photograph of probably my favourite actress of all time. Barbara would have been around 34 years of age when this publicity shot was taken in film costume to publicise Ball Of Fire in 1941.
