Ring-A-Ding Rhythm (a.k.a. It’s Trad, Dad!) (1962) Gary U.S. Bonds, Seven Day Weekend Compromised by editing but a not-bad delivery by American Gary U.S. Bonds of his solid (charted at #27) follow-up to his hit Quarter To Three, in the British rock’n’roll variety vehicle from producer Milton Subotsky, Ring-A-Ding Rhythm (a.k.a. “It’s Trad, Dad”), 1962.

Hard Day's Night, A (1964) -- (Movie Clip) Tell Me Why The whole picture’s been working up to this, the first song for the TV show, John Lennon’s vocal and harmony from Paul McCartney and George Harrison, on the Lennon-McCartney composition, shot at the since-demolished Scala Theatre, Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia, London, director Richard Lester providing maybe more fans than Beatles, in A Hard Day’s Night, 1964.

Hard Day's Night, A (1964) -- (Movie Clip) Rule, Brittania! Hotel bathroom hijinks, John Lennon in the tub and George Harrison shaving at the mirror with assistant manager Shake (John Junkin), their discourse on the topic not quite explained, but germane in Alun Owen’s nutty original screenplay, and manager Norm (Norman Rossington) hunting John, Richard Lester directing, in the Beatle’s A Hard Day’s Night, 1964.

Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) -- (Movie Clip) Open, A Long Time Ago Opening in which we meet only C3PO (Anthony Daniels) and R2-D2 (Kenny Baker, voice by Ben Burtt et al), following the famous prologue, from George Lucas’ 1977 landmark, re-titled upon release of the first sequel, Star Wars: A New Hope, starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.

Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) -- (Movie Clip) The Dark Side Of The Force Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and his salvage robots (Anthony Daniels as C3PO, Kenny Baker as R2-D2) have been rescued from nasty Sand People by Old Ben Kenobi (Alec Guinness), the “crazy old hermit” he thought the might be target of an odd message (recorded by Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, about whom Luke knows nothing), in George Lucas’ Star Wars: A New Hope, 1977.

Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) -- (Movie Clip) Can You Speak Bocce? Carrying a message from secret rebel leader Princess Leia, the vagabond droids (Anthony Daniels as C3PO, Kenny Baker as R2-D2) meet space salvage dealers Owen and Beru (Phil Brown, Shelagh Fraser) and their nephew Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), early in George Lucas’ Star Wars: A New Hope, 1977.

Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) -- (Movie Clip) Disturbance In The Force Probably underestimating her foe’s depravity, Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) causes Tarkin (Peter Cushing) to unleash the death star, which rattles Obi-Wan (Alec Guinness), on board the Millenium Falcon with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hammill) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford), in George Lucas’ Star Wars: A New Hope, 1977.

Yield To The Night (1956) -- (Movie Clip) Opening Intense and crafty opening from director J. Lee Thompson, from the novel by ex-convict Joan Henry and her screenplay with John Cresswell, no dialogue as Diana Dors traverses London, stalking the apparently well-heeled Mercia Shaw, opening Yield To The Night, a.k.a. Blonde Sinner, 1956.

Yield To The Night (1956) -- (Movie Clip) The Cherry Hung With Snow British bombshell Diana Dors, in what would be the most praised performance of her career, as convicted murderess Mary, with a whispered reading of A.E. Housman’s famous A Shropshire Lad, recalling her first encounters with Jim (Michael Craig), J. Lee Thompson directing, in Yield To The Night, 1956.

Yield To The Night (1956) -- (Movie Clip) When You Face A Firing Squad We’ve seen Diana Dors as Mary commit murder, then be informed that she will soon be executed, and her custody taken over by guards Olga Lindo and Yvonne Mitchell as MacFarlane, who shows an evolved compassion, in director J. Lee Thompson’s British-made Yield To The Night, 1956.

Seven Days to Noon -- (Movie Clip) Opening Delivery of the post to 10 Downing Street opens the unusual title sequence in the little-known Academy Award-winning British nuclear thriller Seven Days to Noon, 1950.

Seven Days to Noon -- (Movie Clip) We Daren't Gamble The Prime Minister (Ronald Adam) takes an early briefing on the theft of a nuclear bomb by one Professor Willingdon, consulting with his aide Steve Lane (Hugh Cross) in Seven Days to Noon, 1950.
