The New York Times
The Grapes of Wrath (1940)

Publish Date: January 25, 1940
"[One of] those films which by dignity of theme and excellence of treatment seem to be of enduring artistry, seem destined to be recalled (...) whenever great motion pictures are mentioned"

The New York Times
Gone with the Wind (1939)

Publish Date: December 20, 1939

The New York Times
The Roaring Twenties (1939)

Publish Date: November 11, 1939
"An annoying pretentiousness which neither the theme nor its treatment can justify (...) If it also seems to be good entertainment of its kind (...) credit it to James Cagney in another of his assured portrayals of a criminal career man"

The New York Times
Ninotchka (1939)

Publish Date: November 10, 1939

The New York Times
Midnight (1939)

Publish Date: April 6, 1939

The New York Times
Stagecoach (1939)

Publish Date: March 3, 1939

The New York Times
You Can't Take It with You (1938)

Publish Date: September 2, 1938
"None of [the characters are] quite so funny (...) but they are far more likable, far more human (...) It's a grand picture, which will disappoint only the most superficial admirers of the play."

The New York Times
Bringing Up Baby (1938)

Publish Date: March 4, 1938
"We were content to play the game called 'the cliché expert goes to the movies' and we are not at all proud to report that we scored 100 percent against Dudley Nichols, Hagar Wilde, and Howard Hawks"

The New York Times
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Publish Date: January 14, 1938

The New York Times
The Life of Emile Zola (1937)

Publish Date: August 12, 1937
"Rich, dignified, honest and strong, it is at once the finest historical film ever made and the greatest screen biography"

The New York Times
Captains Courageous (1937)

Publish Date: May 12, 1937
"With its rich production, magnificent marine photography, admirable direction and performances, the film brings vividly to life every page of Kipling's novel and even adds an exciting chapter or two of its own."

The New York Times
Make Way For Tomorrow (1937)

Publish Date: May 10, 1937
"[It has] humanity, honesty, and warmth (...) Nurtured and developed by the best script Vina Delmar has written, by Mr. McCarey's brilliant direction, and by the superb performances of Victor Moore, Beulah Bondi, and the rest"
