This version is the definitive version of this timeless classic.
- DirectorJulien DuvivierStarsMerle OberonJoseph CottenEdna May OliverFour friends reminisce in old age. Each of the men had been in love with the main character, Lydia. The interweaving stories reveal the reason why she never married any of them and, indeed, never married at all.Oberon plays an impetuous woman who ages from a young woman into an old woman right before our eyes. This is one of the few films that allows Oberon to show her depth and range as an actress.
- DirectorHarold YoungStarsLeslie HowardMerle OberonRaymond MasseyA noblewoman discovers her husband is The Scarlet Pimpernel, a vigilante who rescues aristocrats from the blade of the guillotine."They seek him here, they seek him there."

In Dark Waters, she plays a young woman who is being driven mad for her fortune. While its out of character for her, Oberon rises to the occasion and maybe the closest she comes to being in a horror film.
- DirectorHenry KosterStarsMarlon BrandoJean SimmonsMerle OberonThe rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France.While this film is really about a young woman that falls in love with Napoleon, Oberon plays a mature woman that Napoleon leaves for Desiree. Oberon doesn't have a lot of screen time in this sweeping epic but she steals every scene she's in with charm and grace. In addition, this is one of the few times Oberon does a picture in color.
