Ladies in Love (1936) is a romantic comedy film directed by Edward H. Griffith and starring Janet Gaynor, Constance Bennett and Loretta Young.
 The film revolves around three roommates (Gaynor, Bennett, and Young) in exotic Budapest and their comical romantic adventures.
 Gaynor, Bennett, and Young were billed above the title, with Gaynor receiving top billing.
 The movie also featured Simone Simon, Don Ameche, Paul Lukas, and Tyrone Power.
Guyana: Crime of the Century (also known as Guyana: Cult of the Damned) is a 1979 Mexican exploitation docudrama film written and directed by René Cardona Jr..
 The film, which was shot in Mexico, is based on the Jonestown Massacre.
 It stars a number of American actors such as Stuart Whitman, Gene Barry and Joseph Cotten.
 The names of central characters are slightly tweaked from the historical ones: the film is set in "Johnsontown" rather than Jonestown, the cult is led by "Reverend James Johnson" (Whitman) rather than Rev. Jim Warren Jones, and the murdered Congressman is "Lee O'Brien" (Barry) rather than Leo Ryan.
Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines; Or, How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes is a 1965 British comedy film starring Stuart Whitman, Sarah Miles, Robert Morley, Terry-Thomas, James Fox and Alberto Sordi, directed and co-written by Ken Annakin.
Stuart Maxwell Whitman (born February 1, 1928) is an American actor.
 He is known for playing Marshal Jim Crown on the Western television series "Cimarron Strip" (1967).

Love Is News is a 1937 romantic comedy film starring Tyrone Power, Loretta Young, and Don Ameche.

 The picture was remade in 1947 as "That Wonderful Urge", with Power again and Gene Tierney.
The Exile (1947) is a adventure romantic film directed by Max Ophüls, and produced, written by, and starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr..
 Rita Corday (billed as "Paule Croset") played the romantic interest.
 According to Robert Osborne, the primary host of Turner Classic Movies, María Montez had a stipulation in her contract that she had to have top billing in any film in which she appeared, so her name comes first in the opening credits, despite her secondary role.
 The movie is based on the novel "His Majesty, the King: A Romantic Love Chase of the Seventeenth Century" by Cosmo Hamilton.
Murder, Inc. is a 1960 American gangster film starring Stuart Whitman, May Britt, Henry Morgan, Peter Falk, and Simon Oakland.
 The Cinemascope movie was directed by Burt Balaban and Stuart Rosenberg.
 The screenplay was based on the true story of Murder, Inc., a Brooklyn gang that operated in the 1930s.
The Raven is a 1935 American horror film directed by Lew Landers (billed under his real name, Louis Friedlander) and starring Boris Karloff and Béla Lugosi.
 The picture revolves around Edgar Allan Poe's famous homonymous poem, featuring Lugosi as a Poe-obsessed mad surgeon with a torture chamber in his basement and Karloff as a fugitive murderer desperately on the run from the police.
 Lugosi had the lead role, but Karloff received top billing, using only his last name.
The Over-the-Hill Gang Rides Again starring Walter Brennan and Fred Astaire is a 1970 "ABC Movie of the Week" sequel to the Western comedy "The Over-the-Hill Gang".
 The supporting cast includes Edgar Buchanan, Andy Devine, Chill Wills, Lana Wood, and Burt Mustin (all of whom, except Wood, were in "The Over-the-Hill Gang").
 Like the 1969 original, the sequel involves aging Texas Rangers and was written by Richard Carr and directed by George McCowan.
 Pat O'Brien had played the second lead in the first film but his character was left out of the sequel and he was effectively replaced by Astaire, who was not in the original film.
 Richard Widmark played O'Brien's character in a quasi-remake two decades later entitled "Once Upon a Texas Train", in which the Over-the-Hill Gang, with an entirely new cast including Stuart Whitman, played supporting roles to Willie Nelson's train robber.
