Successful Calamity, A (1932) -- (Movie Clip) You Can't Kill Me Financier Wilton (George Arliss), just home from Europe after a year representing the American president, is delivered by servant Connors (Grant Mitchell) to son Eddie (William Janney), whose polo game (with Randolph Scott!) prevented his meeting the train, early in A Successful Calamity, 1932.

Successful Calamity, A (1932) -- (Movie Clip) Studying The Nouveau Art Zillionaire Wilton (George Arliss), just returned from a year of financial diplomacy, arrives a day early to find his mansion substantially renovated, and his young second wife Emmy (Mary Astor) entertaining, with pianist Pietro (Fortunio Bonanova), in A Successful Calamity, 1932.

Rich Are Always With Us, The (1932) -- (Movie Clip) All The Money You'll Lose At a New York party staged by mega-rich Caroline (Ruth Chatterton) and Greg (John Miljan), dazzling young Bette Davis as Marlbro jousts with bachelor Julian (George Brent) who is stubbornly in love with the hostess, John Wray in charge of the gambling, in The Rich Are Always With Us, 1932.

Mandalay (1934) -- (Movie Clip) I'll Never Get Dressed Cash-strapped Rangoon gun-runner Tony (Ricardo Cortez) returns to his boat and the introduction of his Russian emigre` girlfriend Tanya (Kay Francis), plenty provocative pre-code business, early in Michael Curtiz' Mandalay, 1934.

Mandalay (1934) -- (Movie Clip) Just Where You Pinned Them Rangoon mobster Nick (Warner Oland) is summoned to the police chief (younger than usual Reginald Owen) over the behavior of his charge Tanya, a.k.a."Spot White," (Kay Francis), who rather turns the tables, in Warner Bros.' Mandalay, 1934.

Mandalay (1934) -- (Movie Clip) You Can Laugh At Them Tanya (Kay Francis), having been traded by her boyfriend to the Rangoon brothel run by "The Countess" (Rafaela Ottiano), agrees to make the best of it, director Michael Curtiz then offering a fulsome, if compressed, rendering of her descent, in Warner Bros.' pre-code Mandalay, 1934.

House On 56th Street, The (1933) -- (Movie Clip) You Play A Man's Game Kay Francis is ex-showgirl and socialite Peggy, fresh from 20 years unjustly in prison, a make-over, and an unexpected inheritance, who happens to be a legacy card-sharp, beginning a cruise when handsome Blaine (Ricardo Cortez) presents himself, in The House On 56th Street, 1933.

House On 56th Street, The (1933) -- (Movie Clip) The Older Ones Are Safer Director Robert Florey takes us backstage at the Gotham Theatre, 1905, where Kay Francis is showgirl "Peggy," Sheila Terry advising her about suitors, elder Fiske (John Halliday) and handsome Monte (Gene Raymond), who has an eager pal (Frank McHugh), early in The House On 56th Street, 1933.
