Buster Keaton
This video is done to the selection "Hoedown" from "Rodeo" by Aaron Copeland written in 1942.  The clips are as follows, in order: Battling Butler (1926), Sherlock, Jr. (1924), Day Dreams (1922), The General (1926), Go West (1925), Our Hospitality (1923), Out West (1918), Hard Luck (1921), The Balloonatic (1923), The Hayseed (1919), Our Hospitality (1923), Backstage (1919), Battling Butler (1926), and Cops (1922).  I have always loved this song and hope you do too.  Enjoy.  


"The Accused" from Mary Of Scotland
1936. Katharine Hepburn as Mary Stuart is presented in front of a high court who has accused her of treason and conspiracy against Queen Elizabeth II, in which Nigel De Bruiler as Judge questions her, in which her responses get responses out of not only him, but also Murrey Kinnell as Judge, Lawrence Grant as Judge, and Ivan F. Simpson as Judge, regarding how she views the circumstances. Now the film is known to be historically inaccurate, and many things are played to effect, but it is based on the Maxwell Anderson play and does a great job of "humanizing the beast," since Mary Stuart was known for being a thorn in Elizabeth Tudor's side. Still, its one of Hepburn's underrated best performance.
