Movies starring Frank Morgan

The Half Naked Truth (1932)

77 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"The Half Naked Truth" is one of those old comedies where it is easy to get caught up in the quick fire banter and finish the movie thinking what a fun 77 minutes that was. And there is nothing wrong with that but then if at ...

Enchanted April (1935)
