Subject Was Roses, The (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Open, Who Knows Where The Time Goes? Judy Collins’ vocal on Sandy Denny’s then-unreleased composition, first heard as the B-side of Collins’ hit 1968 recording of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now,” later recorded by Denny and Fairport Convention, nearly overshadows director Ulu Grosbard’s opening, with Patricia Neal, briefly Martin Sheen, and Jack Albertson, in his Academy Award-winning performance, from The Subject Was Roses. 1968.

Subject Was Roses, The (1968) -- (Movie Clip) This Is Where I Came In Jack Albertson as Bronxite John was just trying on the uniform coat brought home by his still-snoozing son, just returned from WWII, when he notices his wife Nettie (Patricia Neal) coming back from morning shopping, character sketching in their first scene together, adapted by Frank Gilroy from his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, in The Subject Was Roses. 1968.

Subject Was Roses, The (1968) -- (Movie Clip) Crazy About Waffles Dad (Jack Albertson) just departing the family Bronx apartment on business as his son (Martin Sheen as Timmy), the morning after his welcome-home from WWII party, converses with his mom (Patricia Neal as Nettie), raising her ire when he deploys one of the old man’s verbal devices, early in The Subject Was Roses. 1968, from the Frank D. Gilroy play.

First Deadly Sin, The (1980) -- (Movie Clip) You Proposing To Me? First at the scene of a Manhattan murder he’s investigating then, as novelist Lawrence Sanders’ detective Edward Delaney, Frank Sinatra, in his last movie role, visits his wife (Faye Dunaway as Barbara), who is hospitalized throughout the picture with kidney troubles, in The First Deadly Sin, 1980.

First Deadly Sin, The (1980) -- (Movie Clip) What Will They Think Of Next? With Anna Navarro, well-known TV actress and wife of the producer George Pappas, as jailed hooker Sunny, Frank Sinatra, in his last movie, as Lawrence Sanders’ New York detective Edward Delaney, asks what she knows about victim of a murder he’s hoping to resolve, just weeks before his retirement, in The First Deadly Sin, 1980.

First Deadly Sin, The (1980) -- (Movie Clip) It Might Seem Unconventional Working with customer index cards obtained from a Manhattan sporting goods specialty store, after a murderer who owns an unusual ice-axe, cop Delaney (Frank Sinatra, in his last movie role) instructs volunteer helpers, Brenda Vaccaro as a victim’s widow, and Martin Gabel as an aging museum curator, in The First Deadly Sin, 1980.

First Deadly Sin, The (1980) -- (Movie Clip) I Could Never Refuse A Pretty Face First scene for Frank Sinatra in his last movie, for sure shooting on West 81st St. in Manhattan, outside the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, as Lawrence Sanders’ New York cop Edward Delaney, consulting with James Whitmore as the coroner, examining a victim, early in The First Deadly Sin, 1980.

Man Called Adam, A (1966) -- (Movie Clip) I Want To Be Wanted Last bit of the artful credits then Sammy Davis Jr. in the title role, syncing neatly with Nat Adderly's recording, then singing the tune popularized by Brenda Lee, Kai Winding on trombone, before a clash with a customer, opening A Man Called Adam, 1966.

Man Called Adam, A (1966) -- (Movie Clip) If You Had A Chick Or Something Troubled trumpeter Adam (Sammy Davis Jr.) at his New York pad after blowing off a Midwest gig, surprised to find Louis Armstrong and daughter Cicely Tyson waiting, forgetting he told pal Ossie Davis he could lend out the place, plus Lola Falana's first movie scene, early in A Man Called Adam, 1966.

Man Called Adam, A (1966) -- (Movie Clip) All That Jazz Not the familiar tune from Chicago but an original by Benny Carter and Al Stillman, handily turned by Mel Torme at a Manhattan party, Frank Sinatra Jr. in the mix, Sammy Davis Jr. the title character and Louis Armstrong his musician-mentor friend, in A Man Called Adam, 1966.

Man Called Adam, A (1966) -- (Movie Clip) I Know About Discrimination Finally a scene with Peter Lawford as agent "Manny," heretofore much discussed, probably as gritty a part as he ever played, Michael Lipton as junior partner Bobby and Sammy Davis Jr. in the title role as a hard-luck big-time jazz trumpeter, in A Man Called Adam, 1966.

Where's Poppa (1970) -- (Movie Clip) Almost Doesn't Count Joining the opening and New York lawyer Gordon (George Segal), in his morning routine, then unlikely actions which we'll learn are actually an attempt to kill his mother (Ruth Gordon), early in director Carl Reiner's notoriously off-color Where's Poppa?, 1970.
