So I finally watched an AS movie. I do not recognize her so I think its safe to say I had never seen her in anything before. I went with SAN QUENTIN first because I like to study someone new, to see if I could detect star power even under more mundane or run of the mill performance parameters. I would say I did, she has sort of a "street wise June Cleaver" quality to her based on this introduction.

They Drive By Night--AS certainly got the best lines.
Ida Lupino was already in my top five favorite actresses just for High Sierra (come to think of it, I have seen her in precious little else-I watched the Sea Wolf last year).
She was really good here. Killing the Skipper's dad drove her insane.

In Desperate Journey (1942) Ronald Reagan says to Errol Flynn: "Why do you wake me every time I have a date with Ann Sheridan?" Both actors made five films with her. loved that movie |

Hopefully I will watch one of her movies this week, either San Quentin or They Drive By Night. I see she was also in Dodge City. I may watch that some time, although I didnt care for Virginia City. Of the first two, I would vote for THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT - much better script and director. I wasn't a fan of DODGE CITY, but those films are not really my cup of tea. Anyway, I think NIGHT is a very good Raoul Walsh film with excellent performances, even by George Raft, who's not a favorite. Actually, I think that Ida Lupino and Ann Sheridan probably outshine Raft and Bogart in it. Here's the TRAILER. Yes, They Drive By Night was a well written film, showcased young Ann Sheridan at her best |

I've just watched her in Angels With Dirty Faces (1938), where she really stood out, she's gorgeous, even in a less glamorous role like this. Also, she was the only woman in the main cast. And now I find this thread which makes me realize I've been missing out all along. I did see her in The Man Who Came To Dinner and San Quentin but it wasn't until today I really took notice. I see from her filmography she was in other movies with Bogart and Cary Grant, so I guess I will be seeing her again soon!   |

In which movie did she sarcastically comment "Oh, goody goody gumdrops" to deflate some smug male lead? I remember my parents laughing about that in the car all the way home. I am guessing Steel Town (1952), but I don't really know.

b]Nora Prentiss[/b] has always been my favorite role of hers. She showed what she could do in a dramatic lead but unfortunately it didn't lead to more of the same types of roles.

Yes, totally agree, it's such a pity she wasn't able to do more film noir. She had done The Unfaithful the year before Nora Prentis, the latter of which reignited Ann's career.

I've yet to see The Unfaithful because I feel it'd be a let down after seeing what Davis did in The Letter.

I only recently saw Nora Prentiss, opus. Don't know how I missed it all these years. It wasn't the best film in the world, but I enjoyed it, and her in it. And I thought Kent Smith was very good in it, too. Another I thought of in which she got to play a bit of the femme fatale is Juke Girl, again not a great film but enjoyable because of the cast. Sheridan was a much better actress than Warner Brothers gave her credit for and too often she got stuck with mediocre scripts. But she seemed always to make them better, in my opinion anyway.

She's one of my favorites. I've liked her in everything she's done. She's always so . . . likable! She wasn't a great actor, but did well with what she was given, and always seems to be a good sport about it. Very pretty - not beautiful, but kind of wholesome good looks (despite the publicity photos).

My old post on this thread was two years ago, since then I sadly haven't seen more of Sheridan, only confirmed what I allready liked.
One of her last movies was Come Next Spring 1956, a sleeper from Repuplic Pictures, in that it made more money than anticipated.
It's not the best copy in the world, but I found this:
At least it can give anyone interested an idea about this later career Sheridan movie.

Tele, this is one of my favorite films from my childhood. I saw it again last year and loved it just as much as I did when I was young, which is saying a lot. A very special film in a lot of ways, I think, and one in which Ann Sheridan was able to show her small town Texas roots, which I don't think she ever forgot.
