Princess O’Rourke

Starring: Olivia de Havilland, Robert Cummings, Charles Coburn, Jack Carson, Jane Wyman.

The enchanting Olivia de Havilland is a European princess who, on a visit to the US, wants to live a normal life and falls for an airline pilot who is unaware of her royal status. A topflight contemporary romantic comedy that even involves President Franklin D. Roosevelt! The superb script and direction by Norman Krasna earned Variety’s praise for the film as “one of those spritely, effervescing and laugh-explosive comedy-romances that come along too infrequently.” The film print shown was the personal copy of Robert Cummings, whose papers reside in Special Collections.

Warner Bros. 1943. 93 mins. Director: Norman Krasna.

Mysterious Doctor Satan: Chapter 10, “Bridge of Peril,” 17 mins.
