Movie Clip

Antonia’s Line (1995) — (Movie Clip) My Blue Heaven Director Marleen Gorris dives into the imagination of Dutch teen Danielle (Els Dottermans) at the funeral of the grandmother (Petra Laseur) she barely met (with maybe the most improbable use ever of the 1920’s tune by Walter Donaldson and George A. Whiting), before her mom (title character, Willeke van Ammelrooy) brings her to the ad-hoc wake, where crude farmer Dean (Jakob Bets, Filip Peeters his son) and decent farmer Bas (Jan Decleir) reveal themselves, in Antonia’s Line, 1995.
Antonia’s Line (1995) — (Movie Clip) My Sons Need A Mother Dressed up neighbor farmer Bas (Jan Decleir) visits the title character (Willeke van Ammelrooy) with a proposition, her daughter (Els Dottermans) observing, gets turned down but settles for a visit with his sons (Antoon Schotsaert, Christophe Horemans, et al), in post-WWII Netherlands, in director Marleen Gorris’ Academy Award-winner Antonia’s Line, 1995.
Antonia’s Line (1995) — (Movie Clip) Were You Born Here? From the opening framing the imminent death of the title character (Willeke van Ammelrooy), director Marleen Gorris finds her returning to her hometown in immediate post-WWII rural Netherlands, with her daughter (Els Dottermans), visiting her mother (Petra Laseur), Leo Hogenboom the priest, Fran Waller Zeper as old friend Olga, completing a head-spinning turn into farce, in Antonia’s Line, 1995.
Antonia’s Line (1995) — (Movie Clip) Open, This Would Be Her Last Day All in one shot, with narration by Lineke Rijxman in the voice of the great-granddaughter of the title character, director Marleen Gorris introduces star Willeke van Ammelrooy, in the somber opening to the international hit absurdist comedy and Best Foreign Language Academy Award-winner, Antonia’s Line, 1995.
In Which We Serve (1942) -- (Movie Clip) What A Bitter Blow Kinross (the writer, producer and co-director Noel Coward) addressing his crew, including John Mills, Michael Wilding and Bernard Miles, then hearing Prime Minister Chamberlain's announcement, from the government-backed propaganda hit In Which We Serve, 1942.
Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp, The (1943) -- (Movie Clip) Fighting Positions Candy (Roger Livesey) is obliged to duel a German officer (Anton Walbrook) drawn by lot, advised by Colonel Borg (Theodor Zichy), memorably staged by director Michael Powell, in the Boer War segment of The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp, 1943.
Island Of Lost Souls (1932) -- (Movie Clip) Are We Not Men? Accidental guest Parker (Richard Arlen) and Lota (Kathleen Burke), whom he doesn't know is an experimental animal-human hybrid, think they're escaping when they're waylaid by gangs of half-beasts (Bela Lugosi their leader), and Dr. Moreau (Charles Laughton) arrives to restore order, in Universal's Island Of Lost Souls, 1932.
Annie (1982) -- (Movie Clip) She's A Drunk! Hired orphanage boss Miss Hannigan (Carol Burnett) had assumed she was about to get busted for various drunken deeds but is much happier when she realizes Miss Farrell (Ann Reinking) represents a billionaire interested in temporary adoption, the title character (Aileen Quinn) volunteering, early in Annie, 1982.
Annie (1982) -- (Movie Clip) Sign! Having warmed to the title character (the orphan whom he originally meant to adopt for just one week), wealthy Oliver Warbucks (Albert Finney) pressures the orphanage boss (Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan) to sign the deal, but she has her own agenda, in Annie, 1982, song by Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin.
King Of Jazz (1930) -- (Movie Clip) Meet Our Girls Now becoming clear that this is nothing but a revue/variety show, bandleader Paul Whiteman, for whom the picture is titled, introduces the Russell Markert Girls who, upon the opening of the Radio City Music Hall in 1932, would become the Rockettes, accompanied by the Whiteman orchestra, in Universal’s King Of Jazz, 1930.
Hooper (1978) -- (Movie Clip) Chariot Race Is Next! At a completely imaginary stunt-man’s benefit show in LA, Burt Reynolds as the title character is a big draw, Alfie Wise his buddy, Norm Grabowski as Hammerhead, and Jan-Michael Vincent flies in as “the Kid,” about whom there’s lots of buzz, with hero stunt man Hal Needham directing, in Hooper, 1978.
Dream Lady, The (1918) -- (Movie Clip) I Need Help With My Future Dispatching one client (Kathleen Emerson) on her own fantasy, professional “Dream Realizer” Rosamond (Carmel Myers) confers with Jerrold (Philo McCullough), whom we’ve just met, who has rather more concrete concerns in focus, in The Dream Lady, 1918, from writer-director Elsie Jane Wilson.
