Thelma Todd was a vivacious comic star of early sound cinema, memorably sparring with the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy before her career was tragically cut short. Horse Feathers schemes to win the big football game, Monkey Business causes chaos with stowaways aboard a liner, Another Fine Mess poses two friends as a butler and maid, and The Maltese Falcon (1931) hunts a priceless statuette. Unaccustomed as We Are and Seven Footprints to Satan round out the list.
