A remake of Robert Montgomery's 1934 hit Hide-Out, this superb film directed by Robert B. Sinclair (known for his classic Broadway productions of The Philadelphia Story, Dodsworth and Pride and Prejudice) creates a mesmerizing dance between innocence and a life gone wrong. When a gangster's frontman (Sterling) is wounded by police, he escapes to a farm where he's taken in by a kindhearted family. Lying about his identity and hiding out from the law, he soon finds himself in love with the oldest daughter (Marsha Hunt) and even becomes close friends with her younger sister (Virginia Weidler). It's not until the detectives on his trail finally catch up to him that he undergoes a powerful life-transforming shift. This unusual Hollywood love story mixed with a gangster-themed police caper revealed undeniable chemistry between the two leads, Sterling and Hunt, who were again teamed in a 1941 film, The Penalty.

Mickey Rooney stars as the boy who would become one of the greatest inventors of the modern era--a Young Tom Edison. Edison (Rooney) received only three months of formal education: the precocious boy's curiosity was too disruptive for the one-room schoolhouse in his hometown. But his parents encouraged the voracious reader, who'd read Newton's Principia by the time he was twelve. At an early age, Edison also lost most of his ability to hear, which only helped him to better focus his concentration. Finding work as a "brass pounder," an operator in the new, cutting-edge telegraph industry during the United States Civil War, Edison moonlights on his own inventions--an automatic telegraph repeater, the light bulb, the phonograph--that will change the world.

In this blend of comedy and thrills, the Lone Wolf is abducted by a band of crooks who force him to steal secret anti-aircraft plans.

Bette Davis stars in this gripping Oscar-nominated film based on Rachel Field's best seller about a married nobleman whose love affair with his children's governess results in both of them being suspected of killing his wife.
