Too Young To Kiss (1951) -- (Movie Clip) She's Box Office!

Mogambo (1953) -- (Movie Clip) Let Me Jump To My Own Conclusions! A good deal less bawdy than the equivalent Jean Harlow scene with the same leading man in the original (pre-Code) Red Dust, still alluring "Honey Bear" (Ava Gardner) in the shower meets angered safari guide Marswell (Clark Gable) early in John Ford's re-make, Mogambo, 1953.

Tribute To A Bad Man (1956) -- (Movie Clip) You Get Hanging Fever First a shot with Don Dubbins which director Robert Wise surely grabbed just for the rainbow, then ranch hand McNulty (Stephen McNally) and boss Rodock (James Cagney, title character) prepare to dispense frontier justice, his live-in Jo (Irene Papas) objecting, in Tribute To A Bad Man, 1956.

Catered Affair, The (1956) -- (Movie Clip) Your One Living Daughter Just after the opening, the low key announcement from Jane (Debbie Reynolds) to mom Aggie (Bette Davis) and cabby dad Tom (Ernest Borgnine) that she plans to marry, in The Catered Affair, 1956, from Paddy Chayefsky's teleplay and Gore Vidal's screenplay.

Valley Of The Kings (1954) -- (Movie Clip) Not That Kind Of Lady Opening scene in which MGM gets every penny of it's on-location at the pyramids payoff, aristocratic Ann (Eleanor Parker) introduces herself to rugged archaeologist Mark (Robert Taylor), who gets to slug a guy, in Valley Of The Kings, 1954.
