Movie Clip

Straight Place And Show (1938) -- (Movie Clip) A Horse, Not A Convict! Straight Place And Show (1938) — (Movie Clip) A Horse, Not A Convict!
Straight Place And Show (1938) -- (Movie Clip) Rootin' Hootin' Tootin' Cowboys So far we’ve only met the high-society horse-owning foils to the headliners but here the stars are introduced at the track, Ritz Brothers Jimmy, Harry and Al running a kiddie show, with a specialty number by Sid Kuller, Ray Golden and Jule Styne, early in Straight Place And Show, 1938.
Life Begins In College (1937) -- (Movie Clip) Klassy Kampus Kleaners First scene for the stars, the Ritz Brothers, beginning here with Jimmy, Harry and Al, left to right, whom we learn are the struggling tailors in the college town, Frank Melton their first customer, and George (Nat Pendleton) the next, an oil-rich Indian freshman whose pants got mangled in a hazing by the football team, in Life Begins In College, 1937.
Life Begins In College (1937) -- (Movie Clip) Our Accents Are Cheesy There’s no defined plot premise for this, we’re at the college dance, various stories in play, when the starring Ritz Brothers (Jimmy left, Harry in drag and Al right), who run a failing laundry business, appear with a specialty song, credited to Sam Pokrass, Sid Kuller and Ray Golden, in in Life Begins In College, 1937.
