Product Description

If 1930s Hollywood needed a man's man who was at ease mixing a martini at a penthouse, the call could go out for Warren William. The star shows his range in three flicks that helped audiences forget the Depression. In The Woman from Monte Carlo, William plays a lieutenant who hides his commander's wife in his stateroom. Courtroom thrills ensue. Then, insurance conman William has advice for New Yawk's guys and dolls: Don't Bet on Blondes. He tries to woo a fair-haired stage star he's guaranteed won't head for the altar from the arms of marriage-minded Errol Flynn. And William gets more laughs as the Times Square Playboy, whose bumpkin pal does not approve of the sophisticate he's about to wed. Of these three brash and breezy Warner Bros. gems, you'll heartily approve.

If you like Warren William, this is a grand collection

These are not the best William efforts. For that, seek out Skyscraper Souls and Employee’s Entrance. But each of the three here are fine, entertaining films. The weakest, Time Square Playboy, is still fun due to a grand performance from Gene Lockhart.

These are good old movies with clever plots and charming acting done by Warren William. A pleasure to watch and figure out "who dun it."

"Not As Terrible As Some Think, And ANY Warren William Is Better Than None......"

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2012

THE WARREN WILLIAM COLLECTION, a three disc set from Warner Archives has been garnering generally lousy reviews, strangely enough from his fans. Reviewers describing him as "a great actor," I'm a big fan," and "I have the utmost respect for..." then go on to trash the included films as "not particularly interesting," "terrible, almost unwatchable," and "lousy. stinko. rotten." Some reviewers pine for THE CASE OF THE HOWLING DOG , THE MIND READER and UPPER WORLD , which are readily available on DVD's here on this site. I agree that the films included are not his finest, or fondly remembered, but they are rare, and until this release only available for viewing once in a great while on Turner Classic Movies, maybe. All have their moments, and are a boon to the Warren William fan and collector. Following are separate reviews of each film:

THE WOMAN FROM MONTE CARLO (1932) was Warren's fourth film for Warner Bros., and is in the roughest condition of the three. It comes with a trailer, as do all. Directed by the famous and prolific Michael Curtiz (THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, CASABLANCA, MILDRED PIERCE), Warren is third billed under female lead Lil Dagover ( THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI ) and male lead Walter Huston (DODSWORTH, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE). The plot is basically a creaky Greek tragedy, revolving around a former "fallen" woman, and three men in her life, her older ship Captain husband, who's position keeps him away from home for lengthy periods, his second in command (Warren) a former lover who still carries a torch, and the ship's lecherous executive officer (a deliciously evil John Wray, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, THE MATCH KING, THE MOUTHPIECE) who tries to blackmail her for sex. Set before and after a declaration of war, during a times when a man's word was supposedly his bond and the protection of a woman's virtue took precedence over a man's reputation, Warren's repression of his feelings throughout most of the picture seem as if he's in a dreamworld, or as a previous reviewer opined, "sleepwalking." Too talky, with a major plot point about a stolen code signal never resolved, that except for an exciting naval battle the film seems to drag until the rousing courtroom conclusion, where Warren finally gets to show his acting chops. The ending coda would never have been allowed on a post-code movie...... (**two stars)

DON'T BET ON BLONDES (1935) directed by Robert Florey ( THE COCOANUTS , MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE , GOD IS MY CO-PILOT) is a Runyon-esc tale about a successful bookie named Odds Owen (William) who becomes soured on the business after defeating crooked lawyer Markham (Clay Clement), who attempted to cheat him by fixing a horse race. Odds, at a loss for his next racket, convinces his percentage genius "Numbers," and employees "Brains" and "Doc" to join him in opening a Lloyds Of London style insurance agency. insuring everything from the birth of twins to a champion husband caller's voice! Still stinging from Odds' rebuke, Markham plots revenge. He convinces Col. Youngblood, a southern eccentric who's writing a novel proving that the Confederacy really won the Civil War (played by the wonderful Guy Kibbee, RAIN, LADY FOR A DAY, GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933, MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON) to insure his daughter against marriage for three years, giving him time enough to finish his tome while collecting a stipend he only receives if she stays single. Odds doesn't realize that the daughter is beautiful and eligible Broadway star Marilyn Young (Claire Dodd, Warren's co-star in five other films, and a veteran of 30 Pre-Code films) until after the fact, so he and his crew ensure that she never has more than three dates with the same man, by any means possible. The targets include a young Errol Flynn (!) who, while dining with Marilyn has a number of "mobsters" stop by the table and leave messages, including a pistol and a pile of "loot." Since she keeps bumping into Odds she gets daddy drunk, learns the truth, and plots her revenge. I don't think it takes a genius to guess how it all ends! The picture quality is a great improvement over the first offering. Warren considered this film, according to his biographer John Stangeland, one of his favorites. He's at his debonair best, has a great chemistry with the beautiful Miss Dodd, and Guy Kibbee, along with the cast of "characters" elevate this predictable, but most enjoyable screwball comedy......(***three stars)

TIMES SQUARE PLAYBOY (1936) based on a George M. Cohan play, features Warren as Vic, a very successful man from a small town who finally decides to settle down and marry after years of bachelorhood, with only butler/personal trainer Casey (Barton MacLane, in an atypical role) as a steady companion/confidant. He asks his old friend Ben (Gene Lockhart, a veteran of over a hundred films, and actually a close friend of Warren's) to be his best man, even though they haven't seen each other since Vic left their small berg for the big city. After their arrival, Ben's wife (his REAL wife, actress Kathleen Lockhart) leaves for a day or two to visit a relative, and that evening Vic takes Ben to meet the Calhouns, his fiance Beth (June Travis, THE STAR, MONSTER A GO-GO! ), a popular singer, her brother Wally (Dick Purcell, KING OF THE ZOMBIES , CAPTAIN AMERICA ), Vic's protege, and his future parents-in-law, the wealthy Calhouns (Granville Bates, Dorothy Vaughan). When alone after a long evening fueled by too much alcohol, Ben warns Vic that the Calhouns only want Vic's wealth, and they argue bitterly until Vic slaps Ben and accuses him of being a small-town "hick," prompting Ben to end their friendship. The next day Vic wakes up with a terrible hangover, and when he remembers the argument, laughs it off and plans to apologize to Ben, but hungover Ben is not in the same forgiving mood. When the Calhoun clan visit Ben before Vic, he insults them with the same accusations. Will the life-long friends ever "bury the hatchet?" Is Ben intuitive, or just a fool? Does Beth really love Vic, or does she still hold a torch for ex-boyfriend football player Joe Roberts? How will a couple of "half-nelsons" save the day? You'll have to watch this zany, cleverly plotted Cohan concoction to find out! The film has the best picture quality of the three. TIMES SQUARE PLAYBOY may not be a "lost classic," but Warren and Gene Lockhart's nuanced performances are an acting school unto themselves, and turn what could've become just another trite "B" comedy into an enjoyable and fun little flick that deserves a better reputation......(***1/2 stars)

While researching for this review I was struck by the number of actors in just these three films that also co-starred in numerous others with Warren William: John Wray-3, Claire Dodd-6, Guy Kibbee-4, Errol Flynn-2, June Travis-3, Barton MacLane-3, Dick Purcell-2 and Dorothy Vaughan-3. Finally, don't forget to purchase John Stangeland's overdue but now definitive excellent biography Warren William: Magnificent Scoundrel of Pre-Code Hollywood ......
