Today we start with a picture of that irrepressible impresario of the stride piano, Thomas "Fats" Waller, in a classic pose from Stormy Weather (1943) - thanks to Sever for the ID.  We also have some of his musical numbers.

Richard continues his streak with more gorgeous—but, ultimately, tragic—actresses from the 1940's:

The onslaught of great photos from Gary continues:

Thanks to our guest contributors once again for these beautiful images!

Next, some flickers:

  • Bitter Victory (1958) - Richard Burton callously finishes off an injured German soldier in the desert and then carries a beefy, injured British soldier (Raoul Delfosse) through the blazing sand dunes, until he meets up with Raymond Pellegrin who informs him the soldier he's carrying is dead—thanks to Sever for this dramatic clip

  • The Bride Wore Red (1937) - Franchot Tone is out and about in the mountains delivering a letter, when he runs into heartthrob hiker Joan Crawford—when they stop at his cabin, notice her shoes: who clambers up mountains in those things?

  • The Dark Corner (1946) - Lucille Ball and Mark Stevens are on an intriguing mission

  • The File on Thelma Jordan (1950) - Tipsy civil servant Wendell Corey makes several passes at customer Barbara Stanwyck, and he doesn't realize she's married to a mobster

  • Love With the Proper Stranger (1963) - Natalie Wood surprises Steve McQueen at a union hiring hall with an unexpected announcement

  • The Scarlet Empress (1934) - stunning Marlene Dietrich dresses up, learns her mother has been sent away by the Russian Empress, interrupts the royal conference to complain, and then receives a royal dressing down from...who else?...Louise Dresser!—thanks to Sever for this great clip, which also features some remarkable sets in the royal council room

We end with some film clips:

  • The Facts of Life (1960) - Bob Hope and Lucille Ball plan a romantic tryst, but are caught in a downpour upon arrival at a remote (and leaky) cabin in the forest—fraying their nerves and giving them second thoughts about each other

  • My Little Chickadee (1940) - W.C. Fields creates havoc on a train ride, but ends up married to money-hungry Mae West—also enjoy spinster Margaret Hamilton as she puts up with Fields' shenanigans

  • The Return of the Whistler (1948) - Lénore Aubert wants to return to France, to escape America and her past, but Michael Duane puts a marriage move on her, hoping she'll reconsider

  • Tarzan and His Mate (1934) - the jungle love story continues, with several romantic interludes featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, as they contend with rogue ivory hunters led by Neil Hamilton

  • Wings (1927) - WWI nurse Clara Bow searches Paris for ace flyer Charles "Buddy" Rogers to tell him to report to his unit, and finally locates his tipsiness in the Folies Bergère, where he's otherwise occupied with a local dish—also look for Roscoe Karnes at the same table—this film won the first Oscar for Best Film

  • The Wolf Man (1941) - Lon Chaney, Jr. thinks his bad case of lycanthropy has finally subsided...but then discovers he's still in need of a good depilatory, so he naturally winds up in a foggy cemetery late that night and encounters a gravedigger plying his trade—thanks to Sever for this great clip!
