1940s

Films released between 1940-1949

Dumbo (1941): The First Disney Film to Fall Short

Beautiful animation complements a pretty bare story about proving yourself even when you have nothing to prove. Not the studio’s best.

His Girl Friday

The Grant/Russell pair could have made a hundred movies if this one didn’t count as all of them.

The Bishop’s Wife

There isn’t a moment of romantic energy behind the interaction of Niven and Young in The Bishop’s Wife, and not one time that Cary Grant makes us happy to be on his side. Capra used to invite us to wonderful sleepy towns. Henry Koster takes us to one we’d rather sleep off.

Bambi: Beautiful Trauma

The world of Bambi is so beautiful and passively hostile that you can’t help but grow up.

The Maltese Falcon (1941)

Everyone has their own agenda. No one has a straight answer. The birth of noir.
