It took me longer to put together this video than I anticipated (I put together a brief preview clip for it back in December) but here it is! I tried to include as many pre-code musical films that I could find or afford. Some of the films featured are in the public domain, hence why the print quality isn't as pristine as some of the others. These movies are a very interesting glimpse at films before the Production Code was enforced, although I tried to limit some of the raunchier or more revealing scenes in order to avoid the video possibly being flagged for mature content. Dick Powell provides the background music, singing "Young And Healthy". Enjoy!

Yet another tribute to Tuesday Welds work as a television guest star. I included several more of her TV guest spots than I did in my previous video a few years ago. Please bear in mind that some of these TV series have not had official DVD releases, so the quality of some isnt the greatest, but I felt they should be included. Songs used: Anyone Could Fall In Love With You performed by Elvis Presley, Charade performed by Bobby Darin, and Days Of Wine And Roses performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra and conducted by John Williams.

With Halloween coming up and with the recent passing of Louise Fletcher, I felt that it was fitting to make a video composed of some of the most suspenseful moments from Flowers In The Attic (1987), using Christopher Youngs masterful and memorable soundtrack. I also included author V.C. Andrews brief cameo in the film.")
