Biography

Au cinéma, Stuart Holmes (pseudonyme) contribue à près de cinq-cents films américains entre 1909 et 1964, dont quasiment cent-cinquante durant la période du muet (jusqu'en 1929, entre autres au sein de la Fox Film Corporation).

Parmi ses partenaires féminines de cette première période, citons Theda Bara (cinq films, dont The Clemenceau Case d'Herbert Brenon en 1915), Clara Bow (deux films), Priscilla Dean (deux films, dont Under Two Flags de Tod Browning en 1922), Alice Lake (trois films), Barbara La Marr (Le Prisonnier de Zenda de Rex Ingram, version de 1922), Gloria Swanson (Inconscience (Her Husband's Trademark) de Sam Wood en 1922), Norma Talmadge (trois films), ou encore Alice Terry (Les Quatre Cavaliers de l'Apocalypse de Rex Ingram, version de 1921, et Le Prisonnier de Zenda).

Le premier film parlant de Stuart Holmes est Captain of the Guard de John S. Robertson, sorti en 1930, où il personnifie Louis XVI, aux côtés de Laura La Plante. Par la suite et jusqu'en fin de carrière, il tient surtout des petits rôles non crédités, notamment dans le western Terreur à l'ouest (1939), le film noir Jack l'Éventreur (1944), et le film musical Chantons sous la pluie (1952). Parmi les quelques films parlants où il est crédité (outre le premier cité), mentionnons Ce n'est pas un péché de Leo McCarey (1934, avec Mae West) et La Toile d'araignée de Vincente Minnelli (1955, avec Richard Widmark et Lauren Bacall).

À la télévision, Stuart Holmes apparaît dans le premier épisode, diffusé en 1952, de la série Les Aventures de Superman. Sa présence n'est pas confirmée dans deux autres séries, en 1959.

The movie is set in London in 1914, on the eve of World War I (and the year Chaplin made his first film). Calvero (Chaplin), once a famous stage clown but now a washed-up drunk, saves a young dancer, Thereza "Terry" Ambrose, (Claire Bloom), from suicide. Nursing her back to health, Calvero helps Terry regain her self-esteem and resume her dancing career. In doing so he regains his own self-confidence, but his attempts to make a comeback meet with failure. Terry says she wants to marry Calvero despite their age difference, although she has befriended Neville (Sydney Earl Chaplin), a young composer Calvero believes would be better suited to her. In order to give them a chance, Calvero leaves home and becomes a street entertainer. Terry, now starring in her own show, eventually finds Calvero and persuades him to return to the stage for a benefit concert. Reunited with an old partner (Keaton), Calvero gives a triumphant comeback performance. He suffers a heart attack during a routine, however, and dies in the wings while watching Terry, the second act on the bill, dance on stage.

People Will Talk describes an episode in the life of Dr. Noah Praetorius (Cary Grant), a physician who teaches in a medical school and founded a clinic dedicated to treating patients humanely and holistically. The plot contains two parallel story lines: a professional-misconduct challenge brought against Praetorius by his more conventional colleague Dr. Rodney Elwell (Hume Cronyn), who dislikes Praetorius's unorthodox but effective methods; and the struggle of a distressed young woman named Deborah Higgins (Jeanne Crain), who falls in love with Praetorius while dealing with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. The film also highlights Praetorius's close friend and confidant, physics professor Lyonel Barker (Walter Slezak), who plays bass viol in the student/faculty orchestra conducted by Praetorius.

Lou Francis (Lou Costello) and Bud Alexander (Bud Abbott) have just graduated from a private detective school. Tommy Nelson (Arthur Franz), a middleweight boxer, comes to them with their first case. Tommy recently escaped from jail after being accused of murdering his manager, and asks the duo to accompany him on a visit to his fiancée, Helen Gray (Nancy Guild). He wants her uncle, Dr. Philip Gray (Gavin Muir), to inject him with a special serum he has developed which will render Tommy invisible, and hopes to use the newfound invisibility to investigate his manager's murder and prove his innocence. Dr. Gray adamantly refuses, arguing that the serum is still unstable, recalling that the formula's discoverer John Griffin was driven insane by the formula and did not become visible again until after he was killed. However, as the police arrive Tommy injects himself with it and successfully becomes invisible. Detective Roberts (William Frawley) questions Dr. Gray and Helen while Bud and Lou search for Tommy.
