	Melvyn Douglas - Films as actor:
		Melvyn Douglas's career may be divided into two major periods, each of which earned him a considerable reputation as a skillful performer.
		Although Douglas began as a dramatic actor and played numerous serious roles during the 1930s, he was most effective in sophisticated comedy.
		In the latter half of the decade, beginning with She Married Her Boss, Douglas appeared in a series of films in which his suaveness functioned as both a source of romantic appeal and the means by which he became, in reaction to humorous circumstances, the heroine's foil.
