	Underworld (1927)
		UNDERWORLD isn't as flamboyantly violent as some of the famous gangster movies of the '30s, but there are a number of stylistic touches that mark it as a definite progenitor of those films.
		And while there are some dramas of the '20s that show their age badly and provoke giggles at the wrong moments, this film is not in that category.
		Feathers, despite her frou-frou outfits and a nickname more suitable to a bimbo, is smart, sensitive, and surprisingly ethical for someone in her position.

	Encyclopedia: Elmer Gantry
		Category:1927 books Category:1960 films Category:Christian fundamentalism and evangelicalism Gantry, Elmer
		Elmer Gantry is a novel by Sinclair Lewis as well as a 1960 film which tells the story of a con man who teams up with a female evangelist to sell religion to small-town America.
		When the movie first played on television, the entire subplot involving Shirley Jones as a prostitute (even though she had won an Academy Award for the part) was cut out, because it clashed with her then-wholesome image as the mother from The Partridge Family.

	Academy Awards Oscar 2001

		Michael Westmore, the youngest son of Monty (King of Kings, 1927) has carried on the family tradition with an impressive list of credits including Raging Bull (1980) and Mask (1985), for which he became the first Westmore to take home an OscarÂ® in the make-up category.
		In the days of silent film, actors often did their own make-up, with Lon Chaney acknowledged as the master of the art for his creations in such films as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925).
		British-born George Westmore (1879-1931) was the patriarch of the clan, whose descendants continue to work in the trade.
