Movies starring Leo G. Carroll

Murder on a Honeymoon (1935)

74 mins     Comedy, Drama, Mystery      

"Murder on a Honeymoon" was the third in the series of Hildegarde Withers murder mysteries and sadly the last to star the wonderful Edna May Oliver. I say wonderful because as in the previous movies it is very much Oliver's c...

Spellbound (1945)

111 mins     Mystery, Romance, Thriller      

Although Alfred Hitchcock had directed numerous movies before he gave us "Spellbound" for me it's one of his earlier movies which hinted at what was to come with the likes of "Rear Window" and "Vertigo". It has elements of th...

The House on 92nd Street (1945)

88 mins     Crime, Drama      

To my surprise I found that there was a lot of love for "The House on 92nd Street" one of the first docu-dramas which took the true story of the FBI's investigation into Nazi Fifth Columnists in New York and made it into a mo...

Father of the Bride (1950)

92 mins     Comedy, Romance

114 mins     Adventure , Drama, Romance      

It's strange how a title can attract you to watch a movie; it was certainly the case with "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" as it was the title which grabbed my attention well ahead of the cast which features Gregory Peck, Ava Gardn...

North by Northwest (1959)

136 mins     Thriller      

What was Hitchcock's best movie "Rear Window", "Vertigo", "Psycho" depending on what sort of movie you are in to it could be any one of these, it could even be the often forgotten "Lifeboat". But it could also be "North by No...

The Parent Trap (1961)

129 mins     Comedy, Family, Romance      

Before a young and innocent Lindsay Lohan starred in the remake there was the 1961 version of "The Parent trap" starring the angelic Hayley Mills alongside movie veterans Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith. In fact the 1961 versi...
