In the 1930s, McCrea starred in Bird of Paradise (1932), directed by King Vidor, causing controversy for his scenes with Dolores del Río. In 1934, he made his first appearances with two leading ladies he would be paired with often: with Miriam Hopkins he made The Richest Girl in the World, the first of their five films together,[3] and with Barbara Stanwyck he appeared in Gambling Lady, the first of their six films.[4] Later in the decade, he was the first actor to play "Dr. Kildare", in the film Internes Can't Take Money (1937), and he starred in two large-scale westerns, Wells Fargo (1937) with his wife Francis Dee, and Cecil B. DeMille's Union Pacific(1939).
McCrea reached the peak of his early career in the early 1940s, in such films as Alfred Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent(1940), The More the Merrier (1943) directed by George Stevens, and two by Preston Sturges, Sullivan's Travels(1941), and The Palm Beach Story (1942).[5]
McCrea also starred in two William A. Wellman westerns, The Great Man's Lady (1942), again with Stanwyck, and Buffalo Bill, with character actor Edgar Buchanan 1944). After the success of The Virginian in 1946, McCrea made westerns exclusively for the rest of his career, with the exception of the British-made Rough Shoot (1953).
