    • Other Men’s Women (1931) Arguably Wellman’s most consistently rich period, his pre-code run of punchy 70-minute gems in the early 30s takes some beating.
    • Night Nurse (1931) Come for the early performances from Barbara Stanwyck and Clark Gable, stay for what turns out to be one of Wellman’s toughest, strangest cookies.
    • Wild Boys of the Road (1933) Another of his early best, Wild Boys of the Road sees Wellman at his most politically engaged.
