Eskimo (1933) -- (Movie Clip) A Strange Primeval Creed Opening from MGM and W.S. Van Dyke, a prologue playing on the director’s success with earlier exotic features (White Shadows In The South Seas, 1928, and Trader Horn, 1931), including an untrue claim about casting, but a graceful enough introduction of his leads, Ray Wise (here known as Ray “Mala,” his character’s name) and Lulu Wong Wing his wife, in Eskimo, 1933.

Eskimo (1933) -- (Movie Clip) Walrus Hunt Little adherence to the story, plus cruel slaughter, but some of the best, legitimate Northern Alaska on-location shooting, directed by W.S. Van Dyke and photographed by Clyde De Vinna, George Gordon Nogle, Leonard Smith and Josiah Roberts for MGM, plus some odd process shots, in the first picture ever to win a Best Film Editing Academy Award, Eskimo, 1933.

Eskimo (1933) -- (Movie Clip) One Has Been Wifeless Long? Probably horrible but a significant plot point, Alaskan-born Ray Wise, who became known as Ray “Mala,” the name of his character in this picture, meets a fellow hunter who’s lost his wife, and graciously offers his own (Lulu Wong Wing as Aba), everyone en route to meet the white-man’s ship, W.S. Van Dyke directing on location in Northern Alaska, in Eskimo, 1933.

Trader Horn (1931) -- (Movie Clip) They Have A Telegraph Early business, MGM getting its money's worth out of location shooting, in African states then known as Tanganyika and Congo, then Harry Carey (title character) and sidekick Peru (Duncan Renaldo) arriving, in Trader Horn, 1931.

Trader Horn (1931) -- (Movie Clip) You Made Her No Promise Horn (Harry Carey) and sidekick Peru (Duncan Renaldo) find the remains of missionary Edith (Olive Golden, Carey's wife) but resolve to carry on, on location at noisy Murchison Falls on the Nile in modern-day Uganda, in MGM's Trader Horn, 1931.

Trader Horn (1931) -- (Movie Clip) We're White, Like Herself! Now captives of an especially hungry East African tribe, Horn (Harry Carey) and Peru (Duncan Renaldo) meet Nina (Edwina Booth), the captive they planned to rescue, who has become the chief, in MGM's Trader Horn, 1931.

Of Human Hearts (1938) -- (Movie Clip) Other People's Clothes Just arrived on the Ohio frontier, young Jason (Gene Reynolds) meets Annie (Leatrice Gilbert, John's daughter) as his preacher father (Walter Huston) and mother (Beulah Bondi) get settled, early in Of Human Hearts, 1938.

Of Human Hearts (1938) -- (Movie Clip) My Idea Of Courtesy Jason (James Stewart), dragged along on a rural pastoral visit, is lectured by his preacher father Ethan (Walter Huston), who's just eaten a frog in his soup to avoid embarrassing Sister Clark (Leona Roberts), in Of Human Hearts, 1938.

Of Human Hearts (1938) -- (Movie Clip) I'm Going To Bleed You Ames (Guy Kibbee) is persuaded by Dr. Shingle (Charles Coburn) and congregation to give a raise to Rev. Wilkins (Walter Huston), whose son Jason (James Stewart) pursues sweetheart Annie (Ann Rutherford) afterward, in Of Human Hearts, 1938.

Phantom Raiders (1940) -- (Movie Clip) Ten Thousand Bags Of Sand Joining the complex opening scene, in Panama, where master crook Taurez (Joseph Schildkraut) manipulates goon Gunboat (Nat Pendleton) framed shipping exec Morris (Cecil Kellaway), and would-be-hero undercover cop Steve (John Burton), in the MGM Nick Carter serial Phantom Raiders, 1940, starring Walter Pidgeon.
