Women's Prison (1955) -- (Movie Clip) Open, You're More Than Welcome Terrific momentum, Lewis Seiler directs the quasi-documentary open, with a pointed grievance in the narration, from the original screenplay by Jack DeWitt and Crane Wilbur, as deputy Green (Lorna Thayer) delivers nervous Helene (Phyllis Thaxter) and brassy recidivist Brenda (Jan Sterling), Frank Sully the turnkey, Mae Clarke as matron Saunders, in Women’s Prison, 1955.

Man In The Wilderness (1971) -- (Movie Clip) Zach Fought Against Life John Huston as Captain Henry, leader of the hunting expedition, instructs Lowrie (Dennis Waterman), being left behind to monitor the presumed death of bear-attack victim Zach (Richard Harris, experiencing a flashback), along with the less patient Fogerty (Percy Herbert), in Man In The Wilderness, 1971, based on the same story asThe Revenant, 2015.
Man In The Wilderness (1971) -- (Movie Clip) Sorrow Never Helped Anyone Precisely the scene made famous with Leonardo DiCaprio in Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu’s Academy Award-winner The Revenant, 2015, based roughly on the same uncorroborated story, of trapper Hugh Glass, Richard Harris in the lead role, attacked by a bear near the Upper Missouri, ca. 1820, in Man In The Wilderness, 1971.

Canadian Pacific (1949) -- (Movie Clip) What Girls Have You Seen Lately?

Marin’s Canadian Pacific, 1949.
Canadian Pacific (1949) -- (Movie Clip) That Man Will Find A Path After an elaborate narrated prologue, Robert Barrat as railroad exec Van Horne addresses the parliament in Ottawa, waxing about his surveyor Tom Andrews (Randolph Scott), who needs not speak, even when hunted by villains Victor Jory and Don Haggerty, early in Canadian Pacific, 1949.
Man Called Horse, A (1970) -- (Movie Clip) Open, I'd Be Shooting Grouse Something like a disclaimer, or a tease, relating to what became a notorious scene, then an evocative credit sequence and the introduction of Richard Harris in the title role, a wayward English nobleman, Dub Taylor a sidekick, in director Elliott Silverstein’s A Man Called Horse, 1970.
Man Called Horse, A (1970) -- (Movie Clip) You Horrible Old Hag!

Man Called Horse, A (1970) -- (Movie Clip) Buffalo Cow Head Sioux chief Yellow Hand (Manu Tupou) returning from a lengthy raid, observes Buffalo Cow Head (Judith Anderson), grieving over her son who was killed along the way, and offers her the captured Engilshman (Richard Harris), tribe members feuding all the while, in A Man Called Horse, 1970.
