Again, thanks for catching the typos.
I don't want to include the German language version of ANNA CHRISTIE. I just want to list the English-language versions only. I figure the foreign language versions can be discussed in the foreign films forum if someone is interested in doing that.
So basically I want to eliminate serials, short films, silent films and foreign films from these lists. Now you have me curious about these early versions of KISMET and I will have to research this more.
Some of the early Monogram films were done by indy producers and taken over by Monogram for distribution. If the film has a Monogram logo on it, I will include it.

I'm embarrassed by all the typos. LOL
SWANEE RIVER will remain under December 1939. It was one of those films that was scheduled for wide release in early January, but had a sneak preview in December.

SWANEE RIVER will remain under December 1939. It was one of those films that was scheduled for wide release in early January, but had a sneak preview in December. Don't be embarrassed. You've done a really good job of putting all this together. I too am impressed with Guest's abilities, but I think maybe it's time for someone who's so involved in the conversation to register and speak as him/herself. Just an opinion; do as you please, Guest. We can use this kind of expertise and, since there are apparently a number of people speaking as "Guest", it would be nice to be able to relate to you in a more personal way.
