6 Best Lloyd Nolan Movies

By Vlad Zakh · July 18, 2026

Lloyd Nolan brought gruff, dependable authority to Hollywood across five decades, moving from tough cops and gangsters to warm character roles late in his career. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn follows a girl dreaming of a better life, The House on 92nd Street infiltrates a Nazi spy ring, Peyton Place unravels a small town’s secrets, and Hannah and Her Sisters tangles three sisters’ lives. Johnny Apollo and ‘G’ Men round out the list.
