 Lew Ayres
Ayres' college-boy good looks led to extra work in the movies, and before he was 21 the young actor was starring opposite Greta Garbo in The Kiss (1929).
Ayres was superb, but his gentle demeanor and callow handsomeness resulted in his being stereotyped in film roles as a spoiled rich boy (though one of these roles, as Katharine Hepburn's perennially drunken younger brother in Holiday (1938), was among the actor's best work).
Ayres' star status was boosted in 1938 when he was hired to play Dr. Kildare in MGM's long-running series of Kildare B-pictures.

 Biography for Lew Ayres   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Ayres was a dance-band musician not yet out of his teens when, spotted by Hollywood talent scouts, he made his film debut in 1929's The Sophomore and appeared opposite Greta Garbo in The Kiss that same year.
After the war, Ayres regained public favor in several fine films, including The Dark Mirror (1946), The Unfaithful (1947), and, especially, Johnny Belinda (1948), for which he was Oscar-nominated as a kindly small-town doctor.
Ayres' lifelong interest in religion led him to almost singlehandedly make Altars of the East (1955) and Altars of the World (1976), documentaries based on his own research and written works.

Indeed, the modern sensibility is almost as startling as the sometime stagey acting of Lew Ayres, which can be excused by the fact that, three years after the introduction of sound, actors were still applying stage techniques to talking pictures.
Ayres plays a German college student during World War I, who is brainwashed into enlisting in the Army (along with the rest of his class) by a zealously inspirational college professor.
Once in uniform and on the front lines, however, he quickly discovers that the glory of the Fatherland is of little concern to a soldier dodging bullets and explosions, whose comrades are dying in his arms.

 I'm a Little Teapot: No Love Greater
Ayres was the lead in the first Oscar-winning talkie, the anti-war All Quiet on the Western Front, a role he took to heart.
As the country's most famous conscientious objector, he was excoriated by the public as a coward, but quietly volunteered for combat duty as a medic (while Reagan partied with Wyman in Hollywood, making Army training films by day and nightclubbing the rest of the time).
From the crucible of Lew Ayres came the hot metal of Ronald Reagan.

Lew Ayers is a newspaperman who tries to scoop all others in his field.
This neat little suspense yarn is quite atmospheric, with courtroom dramatics, fast gunplay, and a tight little mystery that can only be solved by a picture photographed by one of the newspapermen present when a high-priced criminal lawyer falls over dead.
The plot may be as simple as the desires of the characters, but the picture never condescends, making this a warmhearted portrait of another time and place.
