Sin Of Nora Moran, The (1933) -- (Movie Clip) The Opiate Quieted Her Body Complex narrative as Claire DuBrey, wife of the governor, has come to her brother the D-A (Alan Dinehart) with letters from a lover who, he admits, was the troubled title character (Zita Johann), who is, as time leaps, comforted by Sarah Padden, then as a child (Cora Sue Collins) by Father Ryan (Henry B. Walthall), in The Sin Of Nora Moran, 1933.

Hangmen Also Die (1943) -- (Movie Clip) We Checked Your Story Quick series of Nazi interrogations from director Fritz Lang as Mascha (Anna Lee), the professor (Walter Brennan) and his wife (Nana Bryant) and Mrs. Dvorak (Sarah Padden) are victimized in Hangmen Also Die, 1943.

Let Freedom Ring (1939) -- (Movie Clip) Ridin' In Like Davy Crockett We’re pretty sure it was Nelson Eddy (as Steve, local boy home from Harvard) who beat up a railroad arsonist in the previous scene, but it’s a surprise to his parents (Lionel Barrymore, Sarah Padden) when he acts drunk and sides with railroad man Knox (Edward Arnold), in MGM’s Let Freedom Ring, 1939.

Rich Man, Poor Girl (1938) -- (Movie Clip) Tall, Rich And Handsome Instructive for anyone who might doubt the appeal of Lana Turner, here as sister "Helen," dining with family (Guy Kibbee, Sarah Padden, Don Castle, Lew Ayres as "Henry") when Joan (Ruth Hussey) announces she's engaged to her boss (Robert Young), early in MGM's Rich Man, Poor Girl, 1938.
