Third movie in the MGM series, this time the title character (Ann Sothern) has had a breakdown near an Arizona desert town, where, with some difficulty, she meets Lee Bowman as grumpy rancher Bill, who’s not much inclined to help, in Gold Rush Maisie, 1940, co-starring Virginia Weidler.

Maisie (1939) -- (Movie Clip) The Chiffon Girl The first scene in the first picture in the series of ten from MGM, Ann Sothern is the title character, getting bad news (from Frank Darien as Pops) about her showbiz gig in Big Horn, Wyoming, from a script first written for Jean Harlow, opening Maisie, 1939, co-starring Robert Young.

Violent Road (1958) -- (Movie Clip) You Must Take A Lot Of Vitamins! After an opening with a crash of a military test rocket, Brian Keith pulls up in the town where it happened, ending things with Merry Anders in a nice Fairlane, looking for trucking work, meeting boozy John Dennis, with Arthur Batanides, then impressed secretary Charmienne Harker, in Violent Road, 1958, from prolific producer-director Howard W. Koch.

Violent Road (1958) -- (Movie Clip) Felt Like An Earthquake Feels like Henri-Geoge Clouzot’s Wages Of Fear from a few years earlier, Brian Keith as head trucker Mitch gets help from partner Joe (Perry Lopez) getting their rocket fuel through a tight spot, Dick Foran and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. the second crew, Sean Garrison and Arthur Batanides going last, in Violent Road, 1958.

Kerrigan) offering a compromise, in the second feature in the MGM series, Congo Maisie, 1940.

Congo Maisie (1940) -- (Movie Clip) She Do Big Magic Complete with a degrading depiction of African natives, acceptable by Hollywood standards of the time, well-intentioned Shane (John Carroll) protects the compound, rescued when Ann Sothern (title character) goes into showgirl mode, in Congo Maisie, 1940.

Mogambo (1953) -- (Movie Clip) The Remark Of A Cynical Man Aristocratic Linda (Grace Kelly), whose husband is laid-up with a jungle illness, gets in trouble on an unauthorized walkabout, rescued by their crusty host Marswell (Clark Gable) from a panther, then stormy events, Honey (Ava Gardner) observing their heated parting, in John Ford's Mogambo, 1953.

Mogambo (1953) -- (Movie Clip) We Have Three Antidotes For Everything Tough African safari-business guy Marswell (Clark Gable) isn’t quite as solicitous as new arrival Linda (Grace Kelly) would like, when her husband (Donald Sinden) succumbs to the effects of a pre-jungle vaccination, in Mogambo, 1953, John Ford’s re-make of Red Dust, 1932.
