1) Dad and Dave Come to Town - her best role, best performance, very funny and lovely
2) It Isn't Done - great debut and a pretty good role even if she was mostly required to bat her eyes at John Longden she displayed an innate intelligence
3) Lovers and Luggers - a "girl" part but she gets points for wearing men's clothes, and it's thus better than Tall Timbers
4) Sorry Wrong Number - not an awesome part but probably her best film apart from Dad and Dave and she's very good
5) Badman's Territory - a girl part, but she gets to ride horses, point a gun and run a newspaper
6) Breakdown - flawed film, lacks focus, but Richards' husband gave her a decent part as a good girl in love with a bad boy
7) Lost Honeymoon - a good role as a protagonist, and she's great - it's just the story is so dumb
8) The Searching Wind - she's better than the play and her two co stars, a very believable "let's let it slide" type
9) Love Letters - flawed film, but Richards is very good as a loyal friend
10) Dr Gillespie's New Assistant - she has two scenes but is sparky and lovely and should have played Richard Quine's role
