Last Days Of Pompeii, The (1935) -- (Movie Clip) In Caesar's Name! SPOILER except the title suggests Vesuvius will erupt, more special effects are deployed as Marcus (Preston Foster) chooses his wounded Christian son (John Wood) over his Roman prefect master (Louis Calhern) and his troops, in the disaster epic from RKO’s King Kong team (Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack), The Last Days Of Pompeii, 1935.

Last Days Of Pompeii, The (1935) -- (Movie Clip) The Physical Setting Of This Picture Make no mistake about your epic scale, as producer Merian C. Cooper and director Ernest B.

Illicit (1931) -- (Movie Clip) Dubious Connecticut Resorts Worth noting terrific dialogue from the underlying un-produced play by Edith Fitzgerald and Robert Riskin, boozy Georgie (Charles Butterworth) drops in on Dick (James Rennie) and his unabashed intimate girlfriend Anne (Barbara Stanwyck), in the pre-Code drama Illicit, 1932.

Till The End Of Time (1946) -- (Movie Clip) I'm Driving You Home Nice scene by director Edward Dmytryk, soldier-come-home Cliff (Guy Madison) meets barkeep Scuffy (Harry von Zell), pal Pinky (Loren Tindall) and the forward war-widow Pat (Dorothy McGuire) in Till The End Of Time, 1946.

Brave One, The (1956) -- (Movie Clip) Doubly Blessed Cinematographer Jack Cardiff leads Leonardo (Michel Ray) across Mexican locations to find his young bull "Gitano," whose ownership he has just secured, later with sister Maria (Elsa Cardenas) preparing for a blessing, in The Brave One, 1956, from Dalton Trumbo's screenplay.

Illicit (1931) -- (Movie Clip) Must It Be Puffy? First scene for Barbara Stanwyck, age 24, in her first starring role, uninhibited in the apartment of her boyfriend Dick (James Rennie), in the provocative pre-Code Warner Bros. drama Illicit, 1931.
