Glenn Miller Story, The (1954) -- (Movie Clip) Four Saxes And A Clarinet Dramatizing the key component of the title character's celebrated sound, James Stewart (with support from Harry Morgan, Charles Drake and George Tobias), after losing a trumpeter, tumbles to a clarinet solution, validated by his wife (June Allyson), via his own signature composition (Moonlight Serenade), in The Glenn Miller Story, 1954.

Brass Bottle, The (1964) -- (Movie Clip) You're Beginning To Twitch Leading man Tony Randall as architect Harold brings home the ancient bottle he's been warned is probably a fake, as a gift for his Egyptologist presumptive father-in-law (Edward Andrews) and wife (Ann Doran), who came home from Europe after hearing that he was engaged to their daughter (Barbara Eden), early in The Brass Bottle, 1964.

Brass Bottle, The (1964) -- (Movie Clip) He's A Big King Solomon Fan Now convinced that the antique bottle he bought as a gift for his fianceè’s parents must be a fake, architect Harold (Tony Randall) is planning to turn it into a lamp when Burl Ives (as “”Farkrash-el Aamash”) pops out, so he assumes it’s an elaborate trick by his Bohemian buddy Seymour, in The Brass Bottle, 1964.

Brass Bottle, The (1964) -- (Movie Clip) Also From The Caterer? In total panic because his unwanted genie (Burl Ives) turned his house into an Arabian pleasure palace before the dinner he planned with his fianceè (Barbara Eden) and his skeptical in-laws (Edward Andrews, Ann Doran), things get even worse for architect Harold (Tony Randall) when a dancing “houri” (Kamala Devi) appears, in The Brass Bottle, 1964.

Harvey (1950) -- (Movie Clip) Dowd's My Name Opening director Henry Koster’s treatment of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Mary Chase, James Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd, Josephine Hull his sister Veda, whom she also played on Broadway, Victoria Horne as the daughter Myrtle Mae, in Harvey, 1950.

Harvey (1950) -- (Movie Clip) He'd Be Delighted In their second scene together, James Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd, with his not-yet-explained invisible giant rabbit friend, visits the bar, tended by Cracker (Richard Wessel), meeting friend Meegles (Harry Hines), learning of the party his sister didn’t mention, in Harvey, 1950.

Harvey (1950) -- (Movie Clip) This Person You Call Harvey Veda (Josephine Hull), with her brother Elwood (James Stewart, not seen) already hustled away by the sanitarium staff, explains to Dr. Sanderson (Charles Drake) why she’s having him committed, leading to substantial confusion, in Harvey, 1950, from the Mary Chase play.

Harvey (1950) -- (Movie Clip) The Evening Wore On Orderly Wilson (Jesse White), Dr. Sanderson (Charles Drake) and nurse Kelly (Peggy Dow) have tracked Elwood (James Stewart) to the bar, convinced that he, and maybe his imaginary giant rabbit friend, had something to do with the disappearance of their boss Dr. Chumley, in Harvey, 1950.

Harvey (1950) -- (Movie Clip) Did I Tell You He Could Stop Clocks? Sanitarium chief Chumley (Cecil Kellaway) is finally alone with eccentric Elwood Dowd (James Stewart), friend of the giant rabbit of the title, who has confounded his staff, and finds himself enlightened, a famous piece from the original play by Mary Chase, in Harvey, 1950.

Glenn Miller Story, The (1954) -- (Movie Clip) Pennsylvania Six Five Thousand James Stewart (title character) again pawns his trombone, getting nowhere in New York, gets an assist from Don (Charles Drake), then is inspired to call Helen (June Allyson) when he hears her favorite song, leaving the number that would become his famous hit, in The Glenn Miller Story, 1954.

Glenn Miller Story, The (1954) -- (Movie Clip) Potted Palms And Marble Stairs Opening scene shot very near the Angel's Flight rail in downtown LA, James Stewart as the title character, with pawn broker Kranz (Sig Ruman) and pal Chummy (Henry Morgan), in the hit bio-pic The Glenn Miller Story, 1954, directed by Anthony Mann.
