H.M. PULHAM, ESQ. (1941) B/W 120m dir: King Vidor

w/Robert Young, Hedy Lamarr, Ruth Hussy, Charles Coburn, Van Heflin, Fay Holden, Bonita Granville, Douglas Wood, Charles Halton, Leif Erickson, Phil Brown, David Clyde, Sara Haden, Anne Revere (uncredited, as a secretary)

The life of a stuffy Bostonian (Young, in a standout performance) who is uprooted from his life by a love affair. Faithfully adapted from the John P. Marquand novel by Vidor and his third wife, Elizabeth Hill, the film boasts an intelligent script and fine direction.

From Variety's review of the film: "What will please the book-readers --- and probably the non-readers as well --- is the faithfulness with which King Vidor and Elizabeth Hill have transferred the John P. Marquand novel to the screen."
