Cry In The Night, A (1956) -- (Movie Clip) What's There To Worry About? The voice is Brian Donlevy, who soon appears as a gritty cop, and Natalie Wood, fresh from Rebel Without A Cause, as "Liz," Richard Anderson her beau and Raymond Burr, then known for Rear Window, in the bushes, in the crime thriller A Cry In The Dark, 1956.

Cry In The Night, A (1956) -- (Movie Clip) No Use Screaming At once considerate and brutal, Raymond Burr as maybe mentally-ill Harold has abducted under-age Liz (Natalie Wood) after not-meaning-to knock out her boyfriend at the local lover’s lane, moving to his hide-out, early in A Cry In The Night, 1956, from producer Alan Ladd’s Jaguar Productions and frequent partner, director Frank Tuttle.

Cry In The Night, A (1956) -- (Movie Clip) She's Been Trained To Know Better! Cop Bates (Brian Donlevy) visits colleague Taggart (Edmond O’Brien) to inform him of his daughter’s abduction, Mom (Irene Hervey) alarmed, the boyfriend (Richard Anderson), unknown to the parents, concussed, and the police doc (Peter Hanson) seeking calm, in A Cry In The Night, 1956.

Cry In The Night, A (1956) -- (Movie Clip) They'll Never Find Us Engaging something like the Stockholm Syndrome, abducted Liz (Natalie Wood) learns much about her captor (Raymond Burr) at an abandoned warehouse, the movie very buzzy because of a rumored romance between the two actors, in A Cry In The Night, 1956.

Big Land, The (1957) -- (Movie Clip) Bathrooms In A House? Taken in by immigrant Johnson (John Qualen) and his widowed daughter-in-law (Julie Bishop) in post-Civil War Kansas, Texas cattle man Morgan (Alan Ladd) and his new drying-out pal Jagger (Edmond O’Brien) learn more about each other and meet ranch hand Ben (James Seay), and the blonde kid is Ladd’s son David, in The Big Land, 1957.

Big Land, The (1957) -- (Movie Clip) Whiskey Under The Bridge Arrived in Kansas City with notions of pitching a railroad deal, Texan Morgan (Alan Ladd) notices enemy Brog (Anthony Caruso) then wonders what his newly sober pal Jagger (Edmond O’Brien), supposedly making a business contact, is doing with blonde Helen (Virigina Mayo), in The Big Land, 1957.

Big Land, The (1957) -- (Movie Clip) What Am I, A Trout? Outside a livery stable in post-Civil War Missouri, ripped-off Texas cattleman Morgan (Alan Ladd) rescues troubled Jagger (Edmond O’Brien), who had shown him a kindness, from thugs about to hang him for trying to steal a bottle, and they begin negotiating friendship, in The Big Land, 1957.

Lusty Men, The (1952) -- (Movie Clip) Wildest Show On Earth Incorporating some genuine rodeo footage, director Nicholas Ray and photographer Lee Garmes create the lonesome opening for Robert Mitchum (as cowboy "Jeff McCloud") in one of his most comfortable roles, in The Lusty Men, 1952, also starring Susan Hayward and Arthur Kennedy.

Lusty Men, The (1952) -- (Movie Clip) Different Kind Of Buzz Ranch cow-hand and rodeo fanatic Wes (Arthur Kennedy) and wife Louise (Susan Hayward) are entertaining their new friend, has-been rodeo rider Jeff McCloud (Robert Mitchum), who’s just been hired on, in Nicholas Ray's The Lusty Men, 1952.

Lusty Men, The (1952) -- (Movie Clip) Found You In A Tamale Joint Fiery Louise (Susan Hayward) decides to visit ex-rodeo rider Jeff (Robert Mitchum), wrongly convinced that he’s behind her husband’s decision to quit the ranch where they both work and take up rodeo riding, to earn the money to buy a house, in Nicholas Ray’s The Lusty Men, 1952.

Lusty Men, The (1952) -- (Movie Clip) Strong Back And A Weak Mind Somewhat washed-up rodeo rider Jeff McCloud (Robert Mitchum) has dropped by the house where he grew up, meeting geezer Jeremiah (Burt Mustin), when ranch hand Wes and wife Louise (Arthur Kennedy, Susan Hayward), who want to buy the place, turn up, in Nicholas Ray's The Lusty Men, 1952.

Clash By Night -- (Movie Clip) Never Too Early Lecherous Earl (Robert Ryan) watches Joe (Keith Andes) and Peggy (Marilyn Monroe) on the beach, then pursues her in the cafe, in Fritz Lang's Clash By Night, 1951, from the Clifford Odets play.
