Holiday Inn (1942) -- (Movie Clip) I'll Capture Your Heart Singing The opening scenes have established that Lila Dixon (Virginia Dale) is torn between singer Jim Hardy (Bing Crosby) and dancer Ted Hanover (Fred Astaire), on what’s supposed to be the final appearance for their threesome, occasioning the fist Irving Berlin tune, in Holiday Inn, 1942.

Holiday Inn (1942) -- (Movie Clip) White Christmas The first movie placement of what is widely seen as the best-selling single of all time, by Irving Berlin, here as a duet by night-club/innkeeper Bing Crosby, with Marjorie Reynolds, (her vocal dubbed by Martha Mears), as her audition, but not the recording on the record, in Holiday Inn, 1942.

Counsellor At Law (1933) -- (Movie Clip) Temporary Embarrassment Lawyer Simon (John Barrymore) in the morning rush of his Manhattan office receives Darwin (Melvyn Douglas) whom he doesn’t know well, but who proceeds to ask for a loan, then flirt with Mrs. Simon (Doris Kenyon) in the lobby, in William Wyler’s Counsellor At Law, 1933.

Counsellor At Law (1933) -- (Movie Clip) If You're Tired Of Living Empathetic lawyer Simon (John Barrymore), with employees (Isabel Jewell as “Bessie,” Bebe Daniels as “Rexy,”), is in a hurry to see ex-defendant Breitstein (John Qualen), for whom he justifiably faked an alibi years earlier, in Counsellor At Law, 1933, directed by William Wyler.

Counsellor At Law (1933) -- (Movie Clip) You And Your Cossacks Lawyer Simon (John Barrymore), in a jam because of an illegal good deed done years before, has little patience for Becker (future prominent director Vincent Sherman), a kid from his old neighborhood, who was beaten and charged by the cops for political speech, in Counsellor At Law, 1933.
