MY AMERICAN WIFE (1936):
The story opens in Smelter City, Arizona, where the richest man in town is grizzled old Indian fighter Lafe Cantillon. Lafe’s social-climbing sister-in-law insists that her daughter Mary wed a titled European, Count Ferdinand. Much to Lafe’s delight, Mary isn’t assimilated into Continental high society; instead, she instructs Count Ferdinand in the virtues of good, old-fashioned American democracy. And, of, course, the Count and Lafe become great chums, when the “furriner” proves that he can ride a bucking bronco with the best of ’em.

NO GREATER GLORY (1934):
Adapted from The Paul Street Boys, an autobiographical novel by Ferenc Molnar, No Greater Glory is an unusually sensitive evocation of the pain of youth and the senselessness of war. Frail Nemecsek, a lonely boy who yearns to belong, worships Boka, the self-sufficent, charismatic leader of a well-organized gang, decked out in uniforms and sporting their own flag. The perennial outsider sees his chance to win a respected place in Butler's army, when their flag is stolen and war breaks out with another gang.
