Gildersleeve's Bad Day (1943) -- (Movie Clip) Save Some Of The Pep! Troublesome laundry delivery guy George (Harold Landon) bothers Peanuts (Jimmy Clemons Jr.) and Leroy (Freddie Mercer) to get at Margie (Nancy Gates), getting ready to open the canteen, prying her from Jimmy (Russell Wade) as he advances the plot to bribe the jury on which their uncle, the title character, is serving, in the second movie in the RKO series, GIlderseeve’s Bad Day, 1943.

Great Gildersleeve, The (1942) -- (Movie Clip) Saves Rubber And Gas! Headed to the train to pick up Aunt Emma (Jane Darwell) to help convince the court he can take care of the kids, the title character (Harold Peary) finds Leroy (Freddie Mercer) has wasted the gas, and Birdie (Lillian Randolph) can’t help, but there’s another vehicle handy, in The Great Gildersleeve, 1942.

Great Gildersleeve, The (1942) -- (Movie Clip) Biggest Man In Summerfield The orphan kids (Nancy Gates and Freddie Mercer as niece and nephew Margie and Leroy) don’t want to be separated by Judge Hooker (Charles Arnt) from their uncle, the title character (Harold Peary) so they decide to mount an aimless campaign, using his own hobby printing press, on his behalf, in the first movie in the RKO series based on the NBC radio sit-com, The Great Gildersleeve, 1942.

Gildersleeve's Bad Day (1943) -- (Movie Clip) I'm No Groundhog, Brother!

Major And The Minor, The (1942) -- (Movie Clip) Why I Hate Women Susan (Ginger Rogers), fed up and leaving New York, finds out her saved-up train fare home isn't enough, improvising her part of the premise, in Billy Wilder's first directing effort, The Major And The Minor, 1942.
