Thorne Smith Movies

Below you will find a complete list of Thorne Smith movies made from books written by him.

There is also a listing of films inspired by, derived from or somehow related to his works of writing. Currently this is a bare bones temporary list with no particular order to it. It’s just a down and dirty working list until we can get more detail added to each title for you.

Clicking any title that is listed in blue color will take you to a page about that film.

Films Made Directly From the Books


Films Made Directly From the Books:

I Married A Witch

Topper

Night Life of the Gods

Topper Takes A Trip


Turnabout

There was the 1940 United Artists version starring John Hubbard and Carole Landis but I've recently discovered that Irving Thalberg had our man writing a screenplay for MGM all the way back in 1933.  What happened to that script?  How much different was it from the one directed by Hal Roach?  


Skin & Bones

I'll soon be adding a page of info I discovered about an animated film version of this book that was never completed!


The Stray Lamb

I'll also be adding some fascinating info about two film versions of this book that were initiated but never completed.
