There’s a good amount of Leslie Howard films in the Internet Archive Top 100. Here he’s matched with Bette Davis, who was a write-in nominee for the best actress Oscar after she was surprisingly left off the official ballot that year.
Of Human Bondage, one of the last movies made before the Hays Code became more strictly enforced, was about a club-footed artist who falls in love with a cold-hearted, manipulative waitress. It’s based on the 1915 novel of the same title by W. Somerset Maugham. The film was remade in 1946 and again in 1964.
