6 Best Ann Sheridan Movies

By Vlad Zakh · January 22, 2026

Ann Sheridan brought a tough, wisecracking glamour to Warner Bros., equally at home in hardboiled drama and screwball comedy. I Was a Male War Bride has a French officer posing as a woman to immigrate, The Man Who Came to Dinner has an arrogant celebrity overstaying his welcome, and Woman on the Run has a woman searching for her husband, the sole witness to a mob murder. Kings Row, They Drive by Night and Angels with Dirty Faces round out the list.
