As a kid, I watched this movie, but I never realized he was in it until recently. Very strange.

Buy used from: $14.06
This is actually a good movie with a great cast. MacMurray plays a man trying to win a position at a prestigious company despite his health problems.

He is rather funny here and scheming, but he is better in another Carole Lombard movie.
Alice AdamsAlice Adams
Buy used from: $9.32
MacMurray plays Arthur, a suitor for Alice Adams. His performance is good, but Hattie McDaniel really steals the show.
Above Suspicion (1943) [VHS]Above Suspicion (1943) [VHS]
Buy used from: $22.00
This is a much more serious film about a couple working to help the Allied cause during WWII. There wasn't a whole lot of chemistry between MacMurray and Crawford, but it isn't a bad movie.

He plays a very small part in a cameo appearance. His skit is short, a card playing bit.

This movie is absolutely perfect, and MacMurray is incredibly sexy in it. His sense of humor abounds and makes for an excellent film. This is the first movie that he really stood out in for me.

Another perfect vehicle for him, witty, charming, and wonderful. This movie is little known and easy to find for a great price. It is highly recommended.

The film that rejuvinated his career. He plays an average guy, someone you can relate to, only he commits murder. If he didn't pull off the role, the whole film would have sunk, but he did it, and it was a huge hit.

Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $15.94
In True Confession, he is the straight-man to Lombard's outrageous character, but the two obviously play well off of each other. And he is attractive in his swimsuit.

This is an unusual role for Fred. He's not terribly likable and he always seems like he has a chip on his shoulder.
