Here's our second Greta Garbo scan.

Greta Garbo joins us today in the first of four pictures.  We start with an exotic shot of this very popular actress, from Mata Hari.  Thanks to Sylvie for identifying the film for this picture.

We also have new film clips for The Champ and Parlor, Bedroom and Bath.

April 22, 2005

Today we present our final picture of Ava Gardner, in a grainy cheesecake shot down by the sea.  Still, an interesting image of this popular siren!

We also have a film clip of Rudolph Valentino from his 1922 film Blood and Sand.  In this scene, Juan Gallardo (Valentino) begins an ill-fated dalliance with Doña Sol (Nita Naldi), who has congratulated his successful outcome in a bullfight by throwing him a handkerchief from the stands with her ring in it.  Gallardo's lonely young wife, Carmen (Lila Lee), waits for him forlornly at home.

April 21, 2005

Here are our first two scans of Ava Gardner.

And check out the new film clip of Robert Donat shackled to Madeleine Carroll, in Alfred Hitchcock's well-regarded opus The 39 Steps.

April 20, 2005

Here are three new desktop wallpapers from Sylvie.  We have Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Clark Gable, and Mabel Normand.

Also check out the new film clip, from John Garfield's film Castle on the Hudson.  The scene is near the end of the movie as he says his last goodbye to Ann Sheridan.

April 19, 2005

Here's a film clip from Becky Sharp, starring Miriam Hopkins.  Her companion in this scene is Alan Mowbray.

We also have a second (and last) scan of Melvyn Douglas.  Here he is with Gail Patrick in The Lone Wolf Returns.

Added a link to the American Film Institute on the Links page.

April 18, 2005

Popular leading man Melvyn Douglas debuts today.  This first of two pictures has him starring in Arsène Lupin Returns.  He's shown with Warren William and Virginia Bruce.

There's also a film clip of Jack Benny and Cliff Edwards, from The Hollywood Revue of 1929.

April 17, 2005

And here's a new film clip from Morocco, with Gary Cooper.  In this scene, he's getting palsy-walsy with Marlene Dietrich.

April 16, 2005

We have a new picture of journeyman actor Walter Huston today.  This marks our 500th Doctor Macro scan!

And then revisit a popular vaudeville routine with Abbott & Costello in a film clip from Buck Privates.

April 14, 2005

We begin Wednesday with a scan of Anita Louise.

Then check out two film clips of Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times, as well as a Guest Contributor scan of Chaplin at work in that movie―thanks, Steve, for submitting this great photo.

April 13, 2005

Here's a second picture of beautiful Lena Horne.

Also please enjoy this film clip from They Died With Their Boots On, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.

April 12, 2005

We never have stormy weather with songbird Lena Horne around.  Here she is with Eddie "Rochester" Anderson in a scene from Cabin in the Sky.  We also have a film clip.

April 11, 2005

A film clip today―from Harold Lloyd's wonderful movie, The Kid Brother, with Jobyna Ralston.  Viewing this snippet, we're convinced the photo on our site was taken right during filming, rather than being a posed shot.  The still photographer must have captured this moment live―resulting in a tender, yet funny, vignette.

April 10, 2005

Enjoy our final picture of Clark Gable.

We also have three new pictures from Guest Contributors:  Marlene Dietrich, Madge Evans, and Lois Moran (sent in as a Hurrell scan by Jane―thank you!).

April 9, 2005

Starting today, we offer a small tribute (four pictures) to the King...no, not Elvis―the other one:  Clark Gable.  Here are the first three.

April 8, 2005

Here are three new desktop wallpapers from Sylvie.  Check out her page on our site for more enticing wallpapers for your desktop.  Today's new ones include Errol Flynn, Greta Garbo and Harold Lloyd.  Thanks, Sylvie!

April 7, 2005

The target of James Cagney's grapefruit in The Public Enemy bows in today:  Mae Clarke―but here she's pictured in a publicity shot from Men on Call with Edmund Lowe.

Longtime star Ward Bond arrives today, in a picture from Tall in the Saddle, with John Wayne.

April 4, 2005

Character actor/comedian Billy Gilbert weighs in today, in a scan from his film 3 of a Kind.  Gilbert (on right) is pictured with Shemp Howard.  The original photo had massive abrasions, scratches, pockmarks and other damage; the underlying picture was so good, however, we just had to make the effort.

Sylvie has also sent us a postcard scan of Harold Lloyd.  It's featured in The Annex.

April 3, 2005

Here's a new face:  Burgess Meredith in a picture from his film Street of Chance.  Bet you can read the words on the matchbook he's holding―but stand on your head!

April 2, 2005

We'll begin April with one of the biggest stars ever:  Marilyn Monroe, requested by Aldo.  In these two relatively early shots from Love Happy with The Marx Brothers, we begin to see her transition from ingénue to seductive starlet.  We plan to add more scans of her in the future.
