About Jessie Matthews
Jessie Matthews ruled British musical film in the 1930s, a stage dancer and singer who became Gaumont-British's most bankable star. This guide follows eight features in release order, starting with the early comedy There Goes the Bride in 1932 and the ensemble hit The Good Companions in 1933.
The core run pairs her with director Victor Saville: Evergreen in 1934 with its signature song Over My Shoulder, the Hitchcock-directed Waltzes from Vienna the same year, the cross dressing comedy First a Girl in 1935, and It's Love Again in 1936 with Robert Young. It closes with Gangway in 1937 and Sailing Along in 1938. Release order shows her screen persona settle, song by song.
Good to know
Matthews made about two dozen screen appearances, so this is a starter pick of eight musicals, not a full filmography. Release order matches story order here, since the films are standalone, so no separate chronological list is needed. Her run as a film lead ended around 1938, with later stage, radio and television work. She died in 1981, so this guide is completed.
