        Always Tomorrow (1941)

Director: Not credited
Cast: Johnny Arthur
Description: made in 1941 for the Coca-Cola company and presumably aimed at bottlers and potential investors in bottling plants and distributorships, belongs to that curious genre of film, the Corporate Feature. This is not a documentary or a training film, but a Hollywood-made narrative drama featuring a cast full of familiar B-movie faces (led by comedian Johnny Arthur as a fussy, worrywart accountant for a local Coca-Cola bottling plant), and it plays like a typical Monogram or PRC feature, except for the lectures to the audience (in the style of an exploitation film) about business philosophy.

        An American Tragedy (1931)

Director: Josef von Sternberg
Cast: Phillips Holmes, Sylvia Sidney, Frances Dee.
Description: The first and best film adaptation of Theodore Dreiser's classic novel of pointless crime and arbitrary punishment, the 1931 version of An American Tragedy was directed by Josef Von Sternberg, who had just had great success with THE BLUE ANGEL (and who made a total of eight films with star Marlene Dietrich) and who captures the emptiness and isolation and desperate qualities of the characters well. Phillips Holmes, perhaps best known today for General Spanky (the strange Our Gang feature film) is a revelation as the heartless, social-climbing Clyde Griffiths, and the young Sylvia Sidney makes a strong impression as the working girl killed in the "accident" that leads to the long trial sequence at the film's end, which is itself a classic of courtroom melodrama. Clyde is represented in court by Charles Middleton (who later played Emperor Ming in the Flash Gordon films) as a cynical, grandstanding attorney. An American Tragedy still packs a punch today and has a rawness and power and biting commentary on the class structure of society entirely lacking in A Place in the Sun, the 1951 film adaptation of the same novel.
