Defiant Ones, The (1958) -- (Movie Clip) Old Fashioned Prayer Meeting Caught trying to steal food at a Southern work camp, handcuffed escaped cons Cullen (Sidney Poitier) and Joker (Tony Curtis) look like they'll be lynched at the whim of crew boss Mac (Claude Akins), until Big Sam (Lon Chaney Jr.) intervenes, in Stanley Kramer's The Defiant Ones, 1958.

Enchanted Island (1958) -- (Movie Clip) You Don't Find Cannibals That Pretty Dana Andrews as sailor Abner, fleeing a vengeful captain in the South Seas circa 1842, wraps this with a line probably not from the original Herman Melville novel as, with injured buddy Tom (Don Dubbins) they pursue native Fayaway (Jane Powell), her first scene, in Enchanted Island, 1958.

Inherit The Wind (1960) -- (Movie Clip) That's Evolution For You Drummond (Spencer Tracy), based on lawyer Clarence Darrow, with Gene Kelly his newsman sidekick, arrives at the rural hotel where he meets both Mrs. (Florence Eldridge) and his opponent Mr. Brady (Fredric March) who are, it turns out, old friends, before the evolution trial, in Inherit The Wind, 1960.

Inherit The Wind (1960) -- (Movie Clip) Heaven Has Chosen Us Early events, teacher Cates (Dick York) is apprehended, and civic leaders (Claude Akins the preacher, Philip Coolidge the mayor, Wendell Holmes the banker) fret, in Stanley Kramer's film based on the "Scopes Monkey Trial" and the Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee play, Inherit The Wind, 1960.

Inherit The Wind (1960) -- (Movie Clip) Read Your Darwin Preliminaries in the rural Tennessee trial over the teaching of evolution in public school, heavyweight lawyers Brady (Fredric March) and Drummond (Spencer Tracy) with a jury candidate (Gordon Polk), Harry Morgan presiding, Dick York the accused, in Stanley Kramer's Inherit The Wind, 1960.

Defiant Ones, The (1958) -- (Movie Clip) You're A Maker Or A Taker Escaped, handcuffed and incompatible convicts Joker (Tony Curtis) and Cullen (Sidney Poitier) finally reach the work camp where the latter was once incarcerated, slowly warming to each other on their first night in flight, in Stanley Kramer's The Defiant Ones, 1958.

Enchanted Island (1958) -- (Movie Clip) The Wind Stinks Of Sin Allan Dwan opens his final film, on location on the Mexican Pacific coast, from Herman Melville's novel Typee, introducing sailors Dana Andrews and Don Dubbins, island pimp Arthur Shields, officer Les Hellman and Ted de Corsia their cruel captain, in Enchanted Island, 1958, also starring Jane Powell.

Enchanted Island (1958) -- (Movie Clip) What Is Your Favorite Meat? With his wounded buddy Tom (Don Dubbins), New England-based sailor Abner (Dana Andrews) has been taken in by a South Sea island tribe, represented by lovely Fayaway (Jane Powell), still worried they may be cannibals, in Enchanted Island, 1958, from a Herman Melville novel.

Defiant Ones, The (1958) -- (Movie Clip) I Don't Go South First shot of handcuffed prisoners Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier after the truck crash, no time for chat, while back at the site the dog trainer, sheriff and state police captain (King Donovan, Theodore Bikel, Charles McGraw) prepare to pursue, in Stanley Kramer's The Defiant Ones, 1958.

Inherit The Wind (1960) -- (Movie Clip) We Are Simple Folk Named an honorary colonel in the state militia, Matthew Brady (based on three-time presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan) works the crowd in advance of the evolution trial he's volunteered to prosecute, Gene Kelly (as the H.L. Mencken-based Hornbeck) interrupting, early in Inherit The Wind, 1960.
