Bohemian Girl, The (1936) -- (Movie Clip) I Dreamt I Dwelled In Marbled Halls Jumping 12 years during which time the child of adoptive gypsy “uncles” Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy has grown up to be Jacqueline Wells (later known as Julie Bishop, the name she adopted in 1941 when she signed with Warner Bros.), with a song from the original operetta by Michael William Balfe, in The Bohemian Girl, 1936.

Final Exam (1981) -- (Movie Clip) Just Be Gentle! Nearly-girlfriend Janet (Sherry Willis-Burch) gets persuaded by Courtney (Cecile Bagdadi) et al that it’s time she rescued her beau Gary (Terry W. Farren), who’s been “treed” in a fraternity-pledge stunt, not realizing the slasher has other plans, in the low-rent indy Final Exam, 1981.

Threat, The (1949) -- (Movie Clip) Open, Kluger's Out Straight to business, no attempt to disguise the locale (L-A) or the state prison (Folsom), but only Robert Shayne as cop Murphy is properly introduced, though the danger (in the person of un-seen Charles McGraw) is made clear, in The Threat, 1949, directed by Felix Feist, with Michael O’Shea and Virginia Grey.

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.

Action In The North Atlantic (1943) -- (Movie Clip) We Got Spliced Yesterday Not long after their last ship was sunk by the Germans, Merchant Marine captain Jarvis (Raymond Massey) tracks down his first mate Rossi (Humphrey Bogart), with Pearl (Julie Bishop) whom, we learn here, isn’t just another girlfriend, in Action In The North Atlantic, 1943.

Action In The North Atlantic (1943) -- (Movie Clip) My Dear Adolf Seven, then twelve days after their Merchant Marine tanker was sunk by a Nazi submarine, the crew of the Northern Star is rescued, Humphrey Bogart, Dane Clark, Raymond Massey the captain, Alan Hale sassing the enemy, in Warner Bros.’ Merchant Marine adventure, Action In The North Atlantic, 1943.

Visitor, The (1979) -- (Movie Clip) He Found A Hiding Place Most unorthodox opening, as silent John Huston is the title character, the somewhat obscured Paige Conner is the young girl and Franco Nero is in fact playing Jesus Christ, chatting up a captive audience, in international movie entrepreneur Ovidio Assanitis’ hybrid The Visitor, 1979.

Northern Pursuit (1943) -- (Movie Clip) Our Country, Isn't It? German-descended RCMP man Wagner (Errol Flynn), who wants to quit for personal reasons, must explain to his commanding officer (Tom Tully) why he wasn't quicker to turn over the Nazi pilot (Helmut Dantine) he captured, later with fiancee' (Julie Bishop), in Northern Pursuit, 1943.

Busses Roar (1942) -- (Movie Clip) San Diego Bus Not hard to see what Warner studio bosses saw in young Eleanor Parker, here as counter-girl Norma, in her first movie appearance, followed by Willie Best, Rex Williams whom we know to be a baddie, Creighton Hale selling tickets and Julie Bishop short of cash, early in the 1942 war-time programmer Busses Roar.

Busses Roar (1942) -- (Movie Clip) Marines Are Funny Reba (Julie Bishop) by now is pretty-much openly hustling for a bus ticket home, failing with just-arrived Sgt. Ryan (Richard Travis) and commiserating with Norma (Eleanor Parker, in her first movie), Vera Lewis and Harry Bradley the senior couple, in the Warner Bros. B-feature Busses Roar,1942.

Westward The Women -- (Movie Clip) Stay Away From My Men! In Chicago, sponsor Whitman (John McIntire) and trail guide Wyatt (Robert Taylor) brief their charges for the wagon train, Jean (Marilyn Erskine) and Maggie (Lenore Longergan) standing out, in Westward The Women, 1952.

Threat, The (1949) -- (Original Trailer) RKO’s relatively compelling, plot-driven trailer for the 1949 Noir programmer The Threat, with Michael O’Shea, Virginia Grey, Charles McGraw and Julie Bishop.
