Tonight is Ours (aka The Queen is in the Parlor) (Paramount Pictures, 1933). Starring Claudette Colbert, Fredric March. Director Stuart Walker. Approximately 35 silver gelatin photographs, 8 x 10 in., many with photographer "A.E. Freudeman" stamped to verso.
I Met Him in Paris (aka She Met Him in Paris) (Paramount Pictures, 1937). Starring Claudette Colbert. Director Wesley Ruggles. Approximately 35 silver gelatin photographs, 8 x 10 in., almost all with location descriptions handwritten in ink to border, many with "Set Dressing (36)" stamped to verso.
Midnight (Paramount Pictures, 1939). Starring Claudette Colbert. Director Mitchell Leisen. Approximately 75 silver gelatin photographs, 8 x 10 in., many with location descriptions handwritten in ink to border, some with "Set Dressing (36)" stamped to verso.
Arise, My Love (Paramount Pictures, 1940). Starring Claudette Colbert, Ray Milland. Director Mitchell Leisen. Approximately 120 silver gelatin photographs, 8 x 10 in., most with location descriptions handwritten in ink to border, many with "Interior Decorating (36)" stamped to verso.

Actress Claudette Colbert's repertoire ran the gamut from sophisticate to down-on-her luck shopgirl, and her range as an actress was just as impressive. During her reign at Paramount Pictures, she was sought after by directors such as Cecil B. deMille, Preston Sturges, and Mitchell Leisen, and she had the pick of her leading men from Ray Milland to Gary Cooper to Fred MacMurray (with whom she formed a film partnership yielding seven films). Yes, she only wanted to be photographed from one side of her face, but what a face it was! Colbert offered audiences an All-American heroine whose persona was the antithesis of Paramount's other leading lady, Marlene Dietrich, but there was room for both in the hearts of American filmgoers. By the end of the 1930s, Colbert was one of the few contracted players from the decade still at Paramount, but she had made the most of her years in residence there and forged an outstanding canon of memorable films.
