Feature Films
After doing serial films in the 1930s, Rogers felt she was not going to improve her career if she kept the pace. So she asked the studio if she could participate in feature films instead, and so they did. Although she has participated in feature films during that time, she found it more tedious when having to deal with serial films. Throughout the 1940s, Rogers worked solely on feature films, such as A Stranger in Town, Backlash, and Speed to Spare. During that time, however, she also seemed to have problems with the studios she worked with, possibly regarding the type of films she worked on and how she was paid to do them. This caused her to freelance to other companies such as 20th Century Fox and MGM, hoping to find a place more to her liking. Her final appearance was a supporting role in the suspense film The Second Woman, made in 1950 by United Artists.
