Henry Fonda leads this comedic World War II drama as an officer yearning for battle only to be stuck on a non-commissioned Navy ship run by the bullying captain. Co-stars James Cagney, William Powell, and Jack Lemmon in an Oscar-winning role.

Paul Muni (1932's Scarface) stars in this pre-Code crime drama as a WWI veteran whose dreams of becoming an architect evaporate in the cold light of economic reality. Things get even worse when he’s falsely convicted of a crime and sent to work on a chain gang.
