Charles Murphy's Filmography on TV

The Villain Still Pursued Her (1940)

Victorian melodrama gets a big send-up in this spoof production of the old play "The Drunkard; or, The Fallen Saved." The play within the movie is the old one where evil villain Cribbs schemes to get his lusty clutches on the heroine by driving her naive husband to alcoholic ruin. Luckily, a temperance lecturer is on hand to set things straight, as is the great Buster Keaton as the drunkard's brother.

Will Tod stay loyal to his friends despite falling in love with Bob Dalton's former fiancée Julie?

Destry Rides Again (1939)
