I Married a Doctor (1936) Attempts to Update Main Street

March 14, 2014 By Cliff Aliperti 4 Comments

Pat OBrien and Josephine Hutchinson

Main Street by Sinclair Lewis was published in 1920. In 1936 Warner Bros. attempted to update the Lewis story with I Married a Doctor, starring Josephine Hutchinson and Pat O’Brien. The movie is entertaining but it is no Main Street choosing to focus more on the love angle than it does Carol’s battle against the small town.

Public Enemy’s Wife (1936) and Bullets for O’Hara (1941)

Margaret Lindsay in Public Enemy's Wife

Continuing the G-man cycle with Warner Brother’s Public Enemy’s Wife (1936) and its 1941 remake, Bullets for O’Hara. Reuniting Robert Armstrong and Margaret Lindsay from G Men with Pat O’Brien, Public Enemy’s Wife is a worthwhile Warner’s crime film, while the low budget O’Hara is worth a try for fans of the original.
