Genre: Adventure
aka: Flight Commander
Director: Howard Hawks
Cast: Richard Barthelmess, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Neil Hamilton, William Janney, James Finlayson, Clyde Cook, Edmund Breon, Frank McHugh
British World War I aviators are enthralled with the romance of their missions. However, as talk turns into reality, the danger loses its romantic quality. In Director Howard Hawks' first talkie, he presents some dramatic aerial scenes. John Monk Saunders won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Story).

Cast: Dickie Moore, Irving Pichel, William "Stage" Boyd, Doris Lloyd, Barbara Kent, Lionel Belmore, Tempe Pigott, Virginia Sale, Harry Holman, Clyde Cook, George Nash, Alec B. Francis, Sonny Ray, George K. Arthur, Nelson McDowell
This is one of the less successful versions of "Oliver Twist." However, it is an interesting entry in the long list of "Oliver Twist" movies. Dickie Moore stars in the title role of young pickpocket Oliver Twist, and Irving Pichel is good as Oliver's tutor, the devious Fagin.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Sam Taylor
Cast: Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Edwin Maxwell, Joseph Cawthorn, Clyde Cook, Geoffrey Wardwell, Dorothy Jordan, Charles Stevens
Not the best version of the Shakespeare tale, nor the best for either of the two stars. It is obviously played for laughs, sometimes slapstick, and is one of the first talkies.
