In order of merit:
1.Gilda (1946) ****
2.The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932; replaced by Charles Brabin) ***
3.Love Me or Leave Me (1955) ***
4.Hans Christian Andersen (1952) **1/2
5.The Swan (1956) **1/2
6.A Farewell to Arms (1957) **
I'm sure I had rented A SONG TO REMEMBER (1945) on VHS but, for the life of me, I can't remember [sic] if I watched the damn thing or not!! Of his other films, I'm especially interested in watching BLIND ALLEY (1939) and LADIES IN RETIREMENT (1941).

Never seen any of his movies. I do have recordings of several of his Organ works, though. 
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
