Ian Hunter brought a distinguished, kindly presence to Hollywood’s golden age and was often cast as a noble authority figure in adventure and drama. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde unleashes a scientist’s alter ego, Strange Cargo follows escaped convicts guided by a mysterious stranger, The Little Princess reduces a wealthy schoolgirl to servitude, and North West Frontier escorts a young prince through rebel territory. Tarzan Finds a Son! and The Long Voyage Home round out the list.
