Winter Meeting (1948) -- (Movie Clip) The Crowds Of Underprivileged Exposition and character sketching for Bette Davis as uptown Manhattan poet-volunteer Susan, who’s brought her man-about-town friend Stacy (John Hoyt), whom we know was only pretending to be lost on the subway, to her apartment to recover, early in WInter Meeting, 1948.

Winter Meeting (1948) -- (Movie Clip) Hundreds Of Intimate Friends Poet Susan (Bette Davis) is acting as the date for socialite friend Stacy (John Hoyt) who’s set up his sexy secretary Peggy (Janis Paige) with bored WWII naval hero Slick, James (Jim) Davis (later TV’s Jock Ewing), in his first scene in his widely-panned movie debut, Winter Meeting, 1948.

Winter Meeting (1948) -- (Movie Clip) Us Yankee Spinsters The morning after younger Navy hero “Slick” Novak (James a.k.a. Jim Davis) chose her over the dishy secretary with whom he’d been set up, their physical contact having ended with a fade-to-black, somewhat repressed New York poet Susan (Bette Davis) greets him again, in WInter Meeting, 1948.

Stolen LIfe, A (1946) -- (Movie Clip) Could I Hire A Boat? Director Curtis Bernhardt’s opening, banking Bette Davis’ New England bona fides, as she misses a boat and hires handsome Glenn Ford to ferry her over to a nameless island, neither of them identified at this point, in A Stolen Life, 1946, based on a novel by the Czech writer Karel Benes.

Stolen LIfe, A (1946) -- (Movie Clip) Pretty Smart For A Woman Crafty but not evil, painter Kate (Bette Davis) sails to the lighthouse with a prize she knows is coveted by the keeper Folger (Walter Brennan), her proposition only a cover for her true intention, of getting to know the maintenance man Bill (Glenn Ford), in A Stolen Life, 1946.

Stolen LIfe, A (1946) -- (Movie Clip) Painting In The Dark? Returning to her family’s New England island retreat after a modest romantic encounter, somewhat frumpy painter Kate (Bette Davis) meets, for the first-time, her much talked-about twin sister Pat (also Bette), director Curtis Bernhardt using mattes and stand-ins, in A Stolen Life, 1946.

Stolen LIfe, A (1946) -- (Movie Clip) You Think I'm Well-Frosted? Bill (Glenn Ford) doesn’t even know of the existence of Pat (Bette Davis), the vivacious mischievous twin sister of his reserved almost-girlfriend Kate (also Bette), much less that he’s been intercepted by her, and taken to their New England vacation cottage for lunch, in A Stolen Life, 1946.

My Reputation (1946) -- (Movie Ciip) Who Steals My Purse Firmly planted in suburban Chicago and Shakespeare's Othello, servant Anna (Esther Dale) and friend Frank (Warner Anderson) are introduced along with the star, widowed Jessica (Barbara Stanwyck), opening Curtis Bernhardt's My Reputation 1946.

My Reputation (1946) -- (Movie Clip) Women On The Loose First scene for Eve Arden as pal "Ginna," hailing newly widowed Jessica (Barbara Stanwyck), who's just seen her two sons off to boarding school, reflecting together when unduly interested George (Jerome Cowan) appears again, in My Reputation, 1946, directed by Curtis Bernhardt.

My Reputation (1946) -- (Movie Ciip) Just Forget The Hat Young Chicago suburban widow Jessica (Barbara Stanwyck) travels by map to Lake Tahoe to get away from it all, on the pristine slopes when handsome stranger George Brent (who will be "Major Landis") quite swoops into her life, in Curtis Bernhardt's My Reputation, 1946.

Of Human Bondage (1946) -- (Movie Clip) Don't You Ever Dance? Paul Henreid narrating as W. Somerset Maugham's Philip Carey, in turn-of-the-century Paris, describing his own circumstances and meeting writer Nora Nesbit (Alexis Smith), opening the 1946 Warner Bros.' version of Of Human Bondage.

Of Human Bondage (1946) -- (Movie Clip) My Pride Was Wounded Paul Henreid again narrating as failed artist Philip Carey, describing his second visit to meet sparky London waitress Mildred (Eleanor Parker), Joan Winfield her colleague, in director Edmund Goulding's 1946 version of W.
