Movie Clip

Horse Feathers (1932) -- (Movie Clip) Anything Further Father? Maybe the best casting ever of Zeppo Marx, as a wayward college man and son of his older brother, the new president Wagstaff (Groucho Marx), conferring after induction ceremonies in Horse Feathers, 1932.
Horse Feathers (1932) -- (Movie Clip) Everyone Says I Love You A singular moment in Marx Brothers movies, Groucho as Professor Wagstaff serenading Connie (Thelma Todd), who's trying to steal the football signals, in a canoe, with screen and song writers Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby's Everyone Says I Love You, in Horse Feathers, 1932.
Horse Feathers (1932) -- (Movie Clip) Swordfish "Swordfish" is the password as new college president Wagstaff (Groucho) comes to the speakeasy seeking student-athletes, meeting Baravelli (Chico) and Pinky (Harpo) in the Marx Brothers' Horse Feathers, 1932.
Around The World In 80 Days (1956) -- (Movie Clip) So Keen About Whist Harrumphing back in London at news that Fogg (David Niven) has rescued and escaped with Indian princess Aouda (Shirley MacLaine, delivering her first lines), joining them at sea, in producer Mike Todd's Around The World In 80 Days, 1956.
Around The World In 80 Days (1956) -- (Movie Clip) These Foreigners Boarding the Bombay to Calcutta train, Fogg (David Niven) and the general (Sir Cedric Hardwicke) aid the hasty retreat of Passepartout (Cantinflas), followed by train's-eye-view widescreen stuff, in Around The World In 80 Days 1956.
Around The World In 80 Days (1956) -- (Movie Clip) Gallic Braggadocio First Passepartou (Cantinflas) then Fogg (David Niven) with their French travel agent who of course is Charles Boyer, providing them with a famous mode of transport, early in producer Mike Todd's Around The World In 80 Days, 1956.
Around The World In 80 Days (1956) -- (Movie Clip) Speed Is Good The second part of newsman Edward R. Murrow's opening, unveiling producer Michael Todd's widely promoted "Todd AO" widescreen image, and the first appearance of David Niven as Phileas Fogg, from Around The World In 80 Days, 1956.
