Movie Clip

Our Blushing Brides (1930) -- (Movie Clip) Good For The Hips Loads of activity in the opening scene, beginning the work day, introducing Jerry (Joan Crawford), Connie (Anita Page) and Franky (Dorothy Sebastian) at the department store, in MGM's Our Blushing Brides, 1930.
Montana Moon (1930) -- (Movie Clip) You Naughty Girl! Headed west and home on the train her father (Lloyd Ingraham) owns, popular college gal Joan (Crawford) fends off Jeff (Ricardo Cortez) whom her sister Elizabeth (Dorothy Sebastian) has urged her not to steal away, trouble ensuing, early in MGM’s racy Montana Moon, 1930.
Montana Moon (1930) -- (Movie Clip) Notions Of Decency At a party celebrating their recent wedding, socialite Joan (Crawford) is tipsy and growing annoyed that her working-class cowboy husband Larry (John Mack Brown) is acting provincial, so she tangos with her disreputable one-time suitor Jeff (Ricardo Cortez), in Montana Moon, 1930.
Single Standard, The (1929) -- (Movie Clip) Men Have Done As They Pleased The fairly smashing introduction of brunette, flapper-ish Greta Garbo (in her 2nd-to-last silent film) as "Arden," Mahlon Hamilton a wandering husband seeking her confidence, Dorothy Sebastian as Mercedes at the party, and Johnny Mack Brown as admirer Tommy, opening The Single Standard, 1929.
Woman Of Affairs, A (1928) -- (Movie Clip) Constant Companions A nameless newsman and editor act on the "affairs" of now-notorious Mrs. Furness (Greta Garbo), who herself rushes to true-love Neville (John Gilbert), hosted by Dr. Trevelyan (Lewis Stone), as his snarky fiancee` (Dorothy Sebastian) is introduced, in A Woman Of Affairs, 1928.
Our Blushing Brides -- (Movie Clip) Laughing Up My Sleeve The kooky and charming roommates at home, Jerry (Joan Crawford) in charge, Connie (Anita Page) looking for a hammer and Franky (Dorothy Sebastian) daydreaming about her date, in MGM's Our Blushing Brides, 1930.
Spite Marriage (1929) -- (Movie Clip) Who Is That Man? Opening scenes, actor Lionel (Edward Earle) introducing co-star and girlfriend Trilby (Dorothy Sebastian), who is then pursued by what today would be called a stalker, Elmer (Buster Keaton), a pants-presser, in MGM's Spite Marriage, 1929.
Spite Marriage (1929) -- (Movie Clip) Get Rid Of That Epidemic! Hastily recruited for a walk-on part in a Civil War play starring his beloved Trilby (Dorothy Sebastian), Elmer (Buster Keaton) lacks stagecraft as a Union soldier, in Spite Marriage, 1929.
Spite Marriage (1929) -- (Movie Clip) Trilby Famous scene in which Elmer (Buster Keaton), whom actress Trilby (Dorothy Sebastian) has married to get even with her ex, attempts to put her to bed after a few too many on their wedding night, in Spite Marriage, 1929.
Free And Easy (1930) -- (Movie Clip) Don't Act! Small-town talent agent Elmer (Buster Keaton) loose on the movie lot, fouling a stunt scene with Karl Dane and Dorothy Sebastian, then a bedroom clash with John Miljan and Gwen Lee, "directed" by Lionel Barrymore, in Free And Easy, 1930.
Arizona Kid, The -- (Movie Clip) Shootout Roy Rogers visits Bess Warren (Dorothy Sebastian) at her saloon but finds his enemy Val McBride (Stuart Hamblen) lurking in this scene from "The Arizona Kid" 1939.
