We're back in the saddle again.  Although we've successfully moved many of our film clips to a new server, there are still several to go.  Look for daily updates until they're all restored!

Here are two scans of perky Carmen Miranda.  The popular musical star was born in Portugal, but raised in Brazil.  Enjoy these two color photos of her in typical costumes.

Richard maintains an international flavor with images of three little-known actresses:  Swiss misses Elisabeth Müller and Liselotte Pulver, and Austrian-born Maria Schell.

Sylvie has two new desktop wallpapers:  Anthony Quinn and Ann Sheridan.

Nick and Jane are winding on down the road with:

• Buster Keaton - 2 pictures, including one with Sybil Seely

• Myrna Loy - 7 pictures, including six from The Thin Man (1934), featuring William Powell and Maureen O'Sullivan, and one posed shot in a wedding dress

• Mae Murray and Conway Tearle in Altars of Desire (1927)

Chris chimed in with her own scan of Murray and Tearle in Altars of Desire.

Next, we have some snappy pictures of Greta Garbo from A Woman of Affairs (1928), featuring John Gilbert, Johnny Mack Brown, and Lewis Stone.  This is the first group in a slew of Garbo scans, representing many of her movies, that Rikke sent to us by 20-mule train.  We dedicate these seven—and the ones that follow—to Ricardo, who tirelessly researched and identified the films for the entire horde of Garbo photos.

Corrections/attributions for existing photos:

• Jane identified two of our "anonymous" Ziegfeld Girls as Virginia Snyder and Anna Buckley

• Ricardo found some duplicate Ann-Margret pictures, which we removed.  He also identified a Vivien Leigh picture from Waterloo Bridge (1940), and a Sophia Loren picture from Legend of the Lost (1957).  Finally, he identified a Bette Davis photo from Old Acquaintance (1943).

• Sarah spotted some more photos that go with films/TV shows:

• Olivia de Havilland in Santa Fe Trail (1940)

• Shirley Temple in her television show, The Shirley Temple Storybook

Thanks to our guest contributors for today's great images and corrections!

Let's end with some film clips:

• Bette Davis in Ex-Lady (1933)

• Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in Keeper of the Flame (1942)

• MGM Shorts  Note:  All MGM Shorts were removed on November 25, 2007

• Whispers (1941)

• Wild People (1932)

• Women in Hiding (1940)

• Your New Producer (1935)

Granite-faced William S. Hart debuts today.  We have two pictures of the early western star.  Just for contrast, we've also added three photos of elegant Swedish-born actress, Signe Hasso.

Richard sent over four new images by steamboat:

• Cornell Borchers - 2 pictures, including Istanbul (1957) and Never Say Goodbye (1956)

• Marianne Koch - 2 pictures, including Four Girls in Town (1957) and Interlude (1957)

Rikke sent us five nice scans of Kirk Douglas from Lust for Life (1956), and we've included a movie clip courtesy of Sever.  We also realized that the Anthony Quinn photo we posted on July 31 isn't from that film; instead, as an accomplished artist in his own right, Mr. Quinn seems to have been photographed in his own studio.  Thanks once again to Sever for catching this error.

Nick's on the move again, with new pictures of:

• Marion Davies in Show People (1928)—thanks to Nancy for identifying the film (3/7/2010)

• Carole Lombard and Charles Laughton in They Knew What They Wanted (1940)

• Larry Parks in The Jolson Story (1946)

• Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper in Meet John Doe (1941)

We have some new photos from Tom:

• Dorothy Lamour

• Mary Martin - a Claudette Colbert look-alike!

• Ginger Rogers

• Red Skelton being chastised by some bathing beauties - I know that can't be Ann Miller at top right, but...

Ricardo pointed out two attributions for existing photos:

• Bette Davis in Ex-Lady (1933)

• Marlene Dietrich in The Garden of Allah (1936)

Thanks to our guest contributors for today's great images!

We'll conclude with some film clips:

• Katharine Hepburn - 2 clips from The Philadelphia Story (1940), featuring Cary Grant and James Stewart, courtesy of Sever

• Peter Lorre in The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), again hand-picked and expertly prepared by Sever

• Sever also upgraded some existing clips:

• Audrey Hepburn in How to Steal a Million (1966)

• Buster Keaton in an extended scene from his famous Sherlock, Jr. (1924)

Note:  our site visitors seem to like the larger clips, but they're sometimes frustrated by the .avi file format of the expanded clips.  The .avi files don't play until they're fully downloaded.  To fix this, we're formatting the enhanced clips in the familiar .wmv format, which allows you to watch the clip while it downloads.
