Now that we’re almost THREE years removed from the release of\u00c2\u00a0Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>(can you believe it?), the Dvorak news in these parts has been admittedly sparse. Thanks to Turner Classic Movies, we are rounding out the month with some major Ann-D action.<\/p>\n

Dr. Socrates<\/a> (Warner Bros, 1935)\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>– Thursday, October 20th at 2:30pm PST<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one worth setting the DVR for as it doesn’t get that much play and has never received any sort of home market release. The film is enjoyable enough with Paul Muni as a small town doctor and Ann as a dreamy drifter who inadvertently get caught up in some gangster nonsense. No, you’re not going to find the live wire sparks that the pair shared in Scarface<\/strong>, but they have good chemistry and clearly enjoy working together. Dr. Socrates<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>is a bit higher budget than Ann’s usual Warner fare, and enjoys the Dvorak rarity of a well composed close-up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

‘G’ Men (Warner Bros, 1935) – Tuesday, October 25th, at 3:30pm PST<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘G’ Men has been readily available for years, but since it stars James Cagney, it’s easy to watch over and over again. This time, he’s on the right side of the law but is just as charming as ever. \u00c2\u00a0Ann’s role is a supporting one, but she makes it extremely memorable and is given more to sink her teeth into than Margaret Lindsay, who is the main leading lady. This is the third Ann Dvorak movie I ever saw (following\u00c2\u00a0Three on a Match<\/strong><\/a> and\u00c2\u00a0Scarface<\/strong><\/a>) and was the performance that finally made me an official Dvorak devotee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Three on a Match (Warner Bros\/First National, 1932) – Thursday, October 27th at 6:45am PST<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have extolled the virtues of Three on a Match<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0many, many, many times on this site, which you can revisit here<\/a> if you’d like. I’ll just say that if it weren’t for this pre-Code gem, this website would possibly not exist and neither would the biography.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bright Lights (Warner Bros\/First National, 1935) – Friday, October 28th at 9:15am PST<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bright Lights\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>is another title that has yet to have any sort of home market release. It’s not a deep film, but I personally love it because Ann and co-star Joe E. Brown have great chemistry and are a lot of fun to watch together. If you need something to lighten your mood during the homestretch of this election season, then\u00c2\u00a0Bright Lights<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>should do it.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. I’ve actually managed to acquire some nice Ann Dvorak pieces this year, so if I can get my act in gear I’ll share some of them in the near future.<\/p>\n
