Movie Clip

Parachute Jumper (1933) -- (Movie Clip) Mucho Gusto! From the top, Warner Bros. with Alfred E.

Jackson their superior, in Parachute Jumper, 1933, also starring Bette Davis.
Parachute Jumper (1933) -- (Movie Clip) Sugarville, Alabama Had Me In Central Park, in the suit he’s sharing with his equally-broke out-of-work pilot buddy, discouraged Bill (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) gets approached by Bette Davis as “Alabama,” with suitable accent masking her New England ancestry, early in the Warner Bros. action-comedy Parachute Jumper, 1933.
Parachute Jumper (1933) -- (Movie Clip) He Must Need The Money Now kinda-platonic Manhattan roommates, Bette Davis as unemployed stenographer “Alabama” and jobless ex-military pilot Bill (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) visit an air show, where he finagles an impromptu gig, Leon Ames reassuring Bette, in one of her earliest, and least favorite Warner Bros. features, Parachute Jumper, 1933.
Smart Money (1931) -- (Movie Clip) Saint Nick For Dames Breakfasting in their now-fancy digs, sidekick Jack (James Cagney) is suspicious of the girl (Evelyn Knapp) his gambler roommate buddy Nick (Edward G. Robinson) has rescued from suicide, in Smart Money, 1931.

Thousand And One Nights, A (1945) -- (Movie Clip) I Can't Believe My Eyes Highly decorative Columbia stars, Adele Jergens as princess Armina, attended by the model and WWII pin-up Ruth “Dusty” Anderson as Novira, (who would soon retire from pictures and become Mrs. Jean Negulesco), pursued by Cornel Wilde as Alladin, with another song (vocal by Tom Clark) by Saul Chaplin and Eddie de Lange, in A Thousand And One Nights, 1945.
Thousand And One Nights, A (1945) -- (Movie Clip) Is There Anything You Want? At last the introduction of sassy genie Babs (Evelyn Keyes, who shared top billing), well into the fourth reel, as Alladin (Cornel Wilde) and Abdullah (Phil Silvers) are stuck in a cave, left only with the lamp they fear is not magical, with more modern-day comic posturing, in Columbia’s big-budget A Thousand And One Nights, 1945.
Thousand And One Nights, A (1945) -- (Movie Clip) I Could Have Sworn That Was Lana Turner Opening the pricey Columbia Technicolor feature, Phil Silvers is the bespectacled oddball Abdullah, the real Lana Turner in a cameo, then Cornel Wilde as the hunky Alladin, his vocal dubbed by Tom Clark, song by Saul Chaplin and Eddie de Lange, in A Thousand And One Nights, 1945, also starring Adele Jergens and Evelyn Keyes.
Rich Are Always With Us, The (1932) -- (Movie Clip) If You Insist On Being Platonic After prologues establishing Ruth Chatterton as Caroline, the world’s richest woman, married to broker Greg, and George Brent as her smitten journalist-adventurer friend Julian, we join their luncheon, into which Marlbro (Bette Davis) intrudes, in Warner Bros.’ The Rich Are Always With Us, 1932.
Baby Face (1933) -- (Movie Clip) Have You Had Any Experience? Lily (Barbara Stanwyck, title character) has come straight from the boxcar on-which she rode-in to the employment office of a big city firm, where she meets the defenseless Pratt (Maynard Holmes), in the pre-Code shocker Baby Face, 1933.
Dangerous (1935) -- (Movie Clip) I'll Never Forget Her Farnsworth (Walter Walker) meets ex-actress Joyce Heath (Bette Davis) then tells his club pals, including architect Don (Franchot Tone), about it, with Richard Carle as the incidental columnist Hanley, in the opening of Dangerous, 1935.
Dangerous (1935) -- (Movie Clip) My Dismal Scene Well-to-do Don (Franchot Tone), who separated himself from his party after he noticed ex-actress Joyce (Bette Davis), whom he has long idolized, in a Manhattan dive, returns to introduce himself, early in Dangerous, 1935.
