Movie Clip

Gold Rush, The (1925) -- (Movie Clip) Three Days From Anywhere Not a bad illustration of scale, writer, director and star Charles Chaplin with cameraman Roland Totheroh shooting partly on location near Truckee, Nevada, also introducing Big Jim (Mack Swain), opening The Gold Rush, 1925.
Gold Rush, The (1925) -- (Movie Clip) Thanksgiving Dinner Their nefarious third partner gone looking for food, writer, director, star and Englishman Charles Chaplin prepares a famous Thanksgiving dinner for himself and Big Jim (Mack Swain), in the Alaskan wilderness, in The Gold Rush, 1925.
Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) -- (Movie Clip) William Canfield Jr. Meeting the son he hasn’t seen in many years, Bill (Ernest Torrence), with first-mate Tom (Lewis), is looking for a guy with a white carnation, not expecting the dandified college man William Jr. (Buster Keaton), the first appearance by the director and star, in Steamboat Bill, Jr., 1928.
Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) -- (Movie Clip) Storm Clouds In The Offing Now committed to protecting his jailed father’s interest against rival King (Tom McGuire), hospitalized Bill (director and star Buster Keaton) is compelled into action by weather conditions, beginning the landmark action-comedy finalè of Steamboat Bill, Jr., 1928.
Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) -- (Movie Clip) Muddy Waters The jaunty opening, in which star Buster Keaton credits his colleagues for contributions to writing and directing, though he always did the work himself, and the introduction of rivals King (Tom McGuire) and Canfield (Ernest Torrence, with first mate Tom Lewis), in Steamboat Bill, Jr., 1928.
Meet The People (1944) -- (Movie Clip) I Like To Recognize The Tune June Allyson is the fan-clubber meekly complaining to Vaughn Monroe that his band is drowning out the melody, so she joins him, Ziggie Talent and Virginia O'Brien in this Rodgers and Hart tune first introduced on Broadway in 1939, at a shipboard fund-raiser in MGM's Meet The People, 1944.
Meet The People (1944) -- (Movie Clip) Title Tune In the first induction of the title song by Jay Gorney and Henry Myers, songwriter "Swanee" (Dick Powell) dreams it up on the train from Delaware, but his working class vision is not what Broadway star Julie (Lucille Ball) is doing with it on stage, in MGM's Meet The People, 1944.
Meet The People (1944) -- (Movie Clip) Heave Ho! In the context of the dispute-cum-romance between Broadway star Julie (Lucille Ball) and shipyard worker-composer "Swanee" (Dick Powell), his tipsy colleague "The Commander" (Bert Lahr) offers this Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg primer on how to christen a boat, in MGM's Meet The People, 1944.
Better 'Ole, The (1926) -- (Movie Clip) You Ain't Got Your Mind On The War! After an opening framing what was then "The Great War" and frustrated British commanders, we meet first heroic Bert (Harold Goodwin), then the star, Charlie's elder brother Sydney Chaplin as "Old Bill," and sidekick (Jack Ackroyd), early in The Better 'Ole, 1926, 'Ole short for fox-hole.
Better 'Ole, The (1926) -- (Movie Clip) Forward March! Assigned trash picking duty in the French village he and his Brit comrades are occupying, "Old Bill" (Charlie's elder brother Syd Chaplin) makes his own trouble, with the corporal (Ed Kennedy) then the major (Charles Gerrard), early in The Better 'Ole, 1926, 'Ole slang for fox-hole.
Better 'Ole, The (1926) -- (Movie Clip) Shell Shocked His commanding officer and a farmer in the occupied French village explaining away his crackpot behavior, Old Bill (Syd Chaplin, older brother of Charlie) is determined to get breakfast, animal hijinks ensuing, in The Better 'Ole, 1926, 'Ole referring to "fox hole."
Gold Rush, The (1925) -- (Movie Clip) Blissful Ignorance The prospector (writer, director and star Charles Chaplin), reunited with pal Big Jim (Mack Swain), arising in their old cabin after a blizzard, and a surprise, opening a famous set piece from The Gold Rush, 1925.
