Unsuspected, The (1947) -- (Movie Clip) Attractive Young Secretary The opening, in which Claude Rains, as radio star Grandison, might be the guy upside-down in the reflection, as we briefly meet his secretary (Barbara Woodell), his niece (Audrey Totter) and his over-dressed producer (Constance Bennett), Michael Curtiz directing in high Noir style, in The Unsuspected, 1947.

Unsuspected, The (1947) -- (Movie Clip) We Could All Be Murderers Probably the first appearance of Claude Raines as radio sleuth Grandison, on the air as we meet various characters, Michael North, Jack Lambert in a famous shot from director Michael Curtiz, then Fred Clark, Hurd Hatfield and Audrey Totter, early in The Unsuspected, 1947.

Key Largo (1948) -- (Movie Clip) He Wants More Ensemble scene from Key Largo 1948, in which moll Gaye (Claire Trevor) trembles, Temple (Lionel Barrymore) fumes, and Rocco (Edward G. Robinson) dares McCloud (Humphrey Bogart) to shoot, John Huston directing from Maxwell Anderson's play.

Key Largo (1948) -- (Movie Clip) You Won't Kill Me McCloud (Humphrey Bogart) isn't bothered when Rocco (Edward G. Robinson) threatens to use Toots (Harry Lewis) as a method of persuasion, shortly after the hurricane in John Huston's Key Largo, 1948.

Adventures Of Don Juan, The (1948) -- (Movie Clip) A Carving Lesson Making their way to Madrid after a close-run escape from England, Errol Flynn (title character) and sidekick Alan Hale (as "Leporello") meet an innkeeper (David Leonard) and lovely daughter (Barbara Bates), before a corrupt duke's press gang appears, in The Adventures Of Don Juan, 1948.
