One Sunday Afternoon (1933)

Directed by Stephen Roberts

Runtime: 90 min.
Genre: Drama

One Sunday afternoon in the park, aspiring dentist Biff Grimes (Gary Cooper) meets a beauty (Fay Wray), falls heart over head in unrequited love, and - despite eventually marrying a pretty, steadfast girl - never stops wondering what might have been. Years later, Biff gets the chance to find out when he meets his would-be sweetheart again. Displaying the same all-American appeal that mark his memorable performances in such classics as Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and Sergeant York, Cooper makes James Hagan's hit play into endearing screen entertainment. Hollywood knew it had a good thing, remaking the film in 1941 as The Strawberry Blonde with James Cagney and as a musical in 1948 with Dennis Morgan.

Genre: Comedy

Oscar-winner James Cagney ("Yankee Doodle Dandy," "White Heat") stars as a dentist in turn-of-the-century Brooklyn who marries out of spite when his childhood sweetheart is betrothed to his rival. Believing he married the wrong woman, he changes his mind when he discovers his true feelings for his wife. Outstanding cast includes Oscar-winner Olivia De Havilland ("Gone With the Wind," "The Adventures of Robin Hood") and Rita Hayworth ("Gilda," "You'll Never Get Rich").

One Sunday Afternoon (1948)

Starring Dennis Morgan, Janis Paige, Don DeFore, Dorothy Malone, Ben Blue     
Directed by Raoul Walsh

Print: Black/white
Runtime: 90 min.
Genre: Musicals

One Sunday afternoon in turn-of-the-century New York, Biff Grimes (Dennis Morgan) falls for a luscious strawberry blonde (Janis Paige). When she throws him over for a shallow glad hander (Don DeFore), Biff marries her sensible friend (Dorothy Malone) and pines for the girl who got away. Then years later, she comes back to town. Raoul Walsh first filmed this endearing comedy-drama in 1941 as The Strawberry Blonde with James Cagney as Biff, then stepped behind the camera again for a Technicolor(r) musical remake. The period-perfect score is by Ralph Blane (Meet Me in St. Louis), who captures in song the timeless charm of romance and the irresistible nostalgia of barbershop quartets, straw boaters and bicycles built for two.
