Movie Clip

Little Annie Rooney (1925) -- (Movie Clip) Let's Go Down Town From the new 4K restoration with Andy Gladbach's score, the opening of producer Mary Pickford's crowd-pleasing comic-drama Little Annie Rooney, 1925, with some scale, Mary (age 32) brawls with the whole neighborhood, focused on Mickey (Joe Butterworth), William Beaudine directing.
Anna And The King Of Siam (1946) -- (Movie Clip) I Am 150 Years Old! Unhappy that she and her son have been situated next to the harem, new governess Anna (Irene Dunne) and son (Richard Lyon) are brought (by royal aide Lee J. Cobb) before the king (Rex Harrison, his first appearance), early in Anna And The King Of Siam, 1946,
Test Pilot (1938) -- (Movie Clip) What's A Little Weather? Just after the opening, mechanic Gunner (Spencer Tracy) perhaps not surprised but annoyed to find his pilot pal Jim (Clark Gable) not resting up before the flight, though he bounces back to meet sponsor Drake (Lionel Barrymore) before take-off, in Victor Fleming's Test Pilot, 1938.
Test Pilot (1938) -- (Movie Clip) I Forgot My Hat Leaving in a huff now that his plane's been fixed, cross-country test pilot Jim (Clark Gable) and Kansas local girl Ann (Myrna Loy) act like they don't care, his buddy Gunner (Spencer Tracy) offering consolation, in MGM's Test Pilot, 1938.
Little Annie Rooney (1925) -- (Movie Clip) You Can All Pay For It! Failing to avoid implication in the sprawling neighborhood dispute her Irish cop father (Walter James) is adjudicating in the front room, Mary Pickford (the producer, in the title role) confesses somewhat, with her fellow toughs agreeing to a settlement, in Little Annie Rooney, 1925.
Little Annie Rooney (1925) -- (Movie Clip) She's A Wildcat! Annie (producer Mary Pickford in the title role) continues her fight with Mickey (Joe Butterworth) until his charming and slightly criminal older brother Joe (William Haines) turns up, showing some interest in his tomboy opponent, in Little Annie Rooney, 1925.
Captains Courageous (1937) -- (Movie Clip) I Got New Kind Of Fish Spoiled schoolboy Harvey (Freddy Bartholomew) sailing to England, makes good on his boast that he could drink six ice-cream sodas, then topples overboard and meets Portugese fisherman Manuel (Spencer Tracy, his first scene), a key moment in MGM’s Captains Courageous, 1937.
Alice In Wonderland (1933) -- (Movie Clip) In Order Of Appearance The unique opening credit sequence, remarkable in many ways including the presentation of the only cast ever to feature both Gary Cooper and Cary Grant, from the Paramount 1933 version of Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland, starring Charlotte Henry, co-written by designer William Cameron Menzies.
Alice In Wonderland (1933) -- (Movie Clip) Everything Is Backward A key technical sequence, Charlotte Henry (title character) through the looking glass, special effects credited to Gordon Jennings and Farciot Edouart, Colin Kenny playing the clock, in Paramount's Alice In Wonderland, 1933, directed by Norman Z. McLeod.
Anna And The King Of Siam (1946) -- (Movie Clip) I Was Married The first scene from the first movie version of the famous story of Anna Leonowens, Irene Dunne the title character, with son Louis (Richard Lyon), her ship's captain (Addison Richards) and a much-darkened Lee J. Cobb (as "Kralahome") greeting, from Anna And The King Of Siam, 1946.
Now And Forever (1934) -- (Movie Clip) You Said That In Vienna Henry Hathaway directing opening of exposition and character sketch, Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard in Shanghai are Jerry and Toni, American con artists faced with a challenging hotel bill, Tetsu Komai the manager, in Paramount’s Now And Forever, 1934, co-starring Shirley Temple.
Now And Forever (1934) -- (Movie Clip) You Just Won't Listen Ostensibly reformed con man Jerry (Gary Cooper), now selling real estate on the French Riviera, acting on instructions from wife Toni (Carole Lombard), picks up daughter Penny (Shirley Temple), visiting with Mrs. Crane (Charlotte Granville), who doesn’t know she’s his next mark, in Now And Forever, 1934.
