It is almost impossible to see him on film since almost half of his twelve films appeared pre-talkies. So take the opportunity to see one of the stage’s most legendary figures in the role that made him famous. On the other side of the camera, this would be the first accredited feature film work for George Cukor in a career that lasted until 1981.
