In his second "talkie" the immortal Buster Keaton displays his comic genius in full regalia. The addition of his deep, rich voice only serves to make his numerous pratfalls and outrageous mishaps all the funnier. World War I is underway and young men are eager to enlist. Elmer J. Stuyvesant (Keaton), a rich man about town, has no such plans, but one day while looking for a new chauffeur he accidentally enlists in the Army. The uniform appeals to a young lady he's been eyeing, so he decides to tough it out. Classic gags and slapstick shenanigans highlight Elmer's tour of duty as he strives to be a hero to his country and win the heart of the girl he loves. Keaton's priceless scene as a female Apache dancer is a definite highlight in this amusing and original tale of wartime services.

Oscar-winners Gene Kelly ("Singin' in the Rain," "An American in Paris") and Frank Sinatra ("From Here to Eternity," "The Manchurian Candidate") star as two sailors on leave in Hollywood who sneak into a movie studio so they can win an audition for aspiring singer Kathryn Grayson ("Kiss Me Kate," "Show Boat"). Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, it won for Best Score. Kelly received a nomination for his outstanding performance, including a wonderful dancing duet with "Jerry," the cartoon mouse. Great songs from legendary Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne. With Oscar-nominee Dean Stockwell ("Married to the Mob," TV's "Quantum Leap"). Directed by the acclaimed George Sidney ("Bye Bye Birdie," "Show Boat," "The Three Musketeers").

Two of comedy's greatest masters -- Buster Keaton and Jimmy Durante -- appear together in this effervescent and irreverent slapstick about a couple of regular guys trying to cash in on the end of Prohibition. Durante is a barber who talks Keaton, his dim-bulb taxidermist buddy, into spending his life's savings on a brewery. Determined to be first, they start making beer before Prohibition is actually over. That makes their "competition" bootlegging thugs -- something they didn't count on! Then, Buster falls for one of the gangster's molls, the cops get into the act, and Keaton and Durante have to figure out how to get out of the beer business before they're done in! From a story by Robert E. Hopkins (Anita Loo's screenwriting partner on San Francisco), this timely farce, directed by veteran Edward Sedgwick, was called "one solid riot of laughs...Rowdy and hoodlum fun" (The New York American).

Life is a Sunday in the park for Aurelia (Katharine Hepburn), a dotty Parisian countess who looks as if she stepped out of a Georges Seurat painting. But sooner or later, Aurelia had to find out about the so-called sane world and its student unrest, the bomb, even its greedy scheme to transform the City of Light into a forest of oil derricks. If this is sanity, she'll do anything to stop it! In this spirited and timelier than ever satire from Jean Giradoux's famed play, Hepburn heads one of the most luminous casts ever to grace a movie marquee. Charles Boyer, Danny Kaye, Yul Brynner, Margaret Leighton, Edith Evans and more join her in a whimsical look at a topsy-turvy world...and at a handful of kooks crazy enough to care. They don't have to be crazy. But it helps. The Madwoman of Chaillot is mad enough to strike a blow for real sanity!

Andy's gone and done it this time. All set to graduate from high school and he flunks his English exam -- in spite of the fact that Aunt Milly is his teacher, and that the Judge has gone to all the trouble of getting him his very own private secretary (Kathryn Grayson in her screen debut). What makes this Andy Hardy movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "even better than the wildly cheered Love Finds Andy Hardy?" It could be Mickey Rooney's irresistible charm. Or could it be the perfected plot of Andy juggling his steady love (Polly Benedict) with his growing affections for another girl? Or perhaps it's the nonstop laughs Rooney generates with such antics as trying to buy ladies' hose or letting the Judge take a spin in his jalopy in the pouring rain. Whatever the case, here's your chance to return to a simpler and happier time with the family America loved to love.

When Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone) gets a cry for help from his old school chum Dora (Nana Bryant), he packs the whole clan up and heads out west to help her save her ranch. Landing where the buffalo roam, Judge Hardy sets to "researches and strategizes" for a legal answer to Dora's water rights issues while Andy (Mickey Rooney) tries to pass as a Westerner with disastrous results. And to compound the complications, sister Marian (Cecilia Parker) finds herself falling for the ranch's foreman and announces her plan to marry him. The sage Judge Hardy tests Marian's plans by setting her up in a "trial marriage." Meanwhile, Andy takes off on a quest to undo the damage he has done, but saving Dora's ranch might just prove to be beyond the Judge's skill...

On vacation with his family on California's Catalina Island, Andy Hardy (Mickey Rooney) falls head over swim fins for a sophisticated young beauty (Eleanor Lynn). Judge Hardy (Lewis Stone) warns his son that she is too fast for him. But to Andy, that just means he should run after his golden girl a little faster! This sequel to A Family Affair, the enormously successful first Hardy family film, introduces the cast most often associated with the series (only Rooney, Cecilia Parker and Sara Haden appeared in the prior picture). Moviegoers took the whole Hardy clan to its heart -- especially Rooney's irrepressible Andy -- and thronged popcorn palaces to share more warmhearted father-and-son wisdom leavened by laughs.

Jack Haley (the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz) stars in this smorgasbord of entertainment, highlighted by hilarious vignettes from those masters of slapstick, Laurel & Hardy. Bumbling Joe Jenkins (Haley) sells his garage and moves to Hollywood, attempting to land an audition for Cecilia (Rosina Lawrence), the girl he loves. Meanwhile, Cecilia serendipitously meets womanizing movie star Rinaldo Lopez (Mischa Auer), and, along with her wisecracking sister Nellie (Patsy Kelly), they luck into a free trip to Tinseltown. Led to the studio by Lopez, Cecilia is smitten with the showbiz bug as she experiences a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of a big musical number, a classic barroom brawl sequence and Laurel & Hardy in their finest comedic form. A delightful gem, Pick a Star has it all: singing, dancing, comedy and romance.

The comedy team of Wheeler and Woolsey are at it again in this screwball comedy. Willy Nilly (Wheeler) and Hercules Glub (Woolsey) are partners who own a barbershop. By getting Hercules' instructions wrong, Willy Nilly ends up locating their business on an Oklahoma Indian reservation where only one resident has facial hair! Whisked away by the oil-rich Oopadoop Indians, the pair are offered a million dollars by the chief of the tribe to represent them at the Geneva peace talks. What ensues is madcap hilarity on a steamship that goes in endless circles due to a drunken captain. The pair dodges assassination attempts and is spied on by the team of Schmerzenpuppen, Puppenschmerzen, Schmerzenschmerzen and Puppenpuppen! All aboard!

Screen legends Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray star as newlyweds whose love is put to the test on their wedding day in the classic comedy The Egg and I. Just after she has said "I do," Betty (Claudette Colbert) learns that her new husband, Bob (Fred MacMurray), has left his white-collar job with plans to raise chickens on a rustic farm located miles away from civilization. Betty tries to make the best of her situation in their ramshackle house but never-ending repairs, a malevolent wood-burning stove, rain, ornery livestock and a seductive neighbor (Louise Allbritton) do not make it easy! There is never a dull moment in this heart-warming comedy that also introduced the beloved characters of Ma and Pa Kettle (Marjorie Main and Percy Killbride).

CALIFORNIA SUITE is the story of five couples who have come to the Beverly Hills Hotel for diverse reasons and who must all confront some rather amusing personal dilemmas.
