Theatrical trailer for Ken Russell's 1969 film of D.H. Lawrence's "Women in Love" starring Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Glenda Jackson, Jennie Linden and Eleanor Bron. The battle of the sexes and relationships among the elite of Britian's industrial Midlands in the 1920s. Gerald Crich and Rupert Berkin are best friends who fall in love with a pair of sisters Gudrun, a sculptress and Ursula Brangwen, a schoolteacher. Rupert marries Ursula, Gerald begins a love affair with Gudrun, and the foursome embarks upon a Swiss honeymoon. But the relationships take markedly different directions, as Russell explores the nature of commitment and love. Rupert and Ursula learn to give themselves to each other; the more withdrawn Gerald cannot, finally, connect with the demanding and challenging Gudrun. Glenda Jackson won her first Best Actress Oscar for this. Written by alfiehitchie.

Theatrical trailer for the 1967 Richard Brooks film based on Truman Capote's "In Cold Bloo
Theatrical trailer for the 1967 Richard Brooks film based on Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" starring Robert Blake and Scott Wilson. Music by Quincy Jones. Cinematography by Conrad Hall ("Butch Cassidy", "American Buauty"). Truman Capote wrote the 'non-fiction novel' from which the film is drawn, using the novelist's craft to render reality. The reality was that at two a.m. on November 15, 1959 in the rural town of Holcomb, Kansas, the four members of the Clutter family were roused from their sleep, bound and gagged, and then brutally murdered by two unknown assailants. After the latters' capture, sentencing and imprisonment prior to execution, Capote researched the case thoroughly, spent weeks talking with the prisoners, Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, jurors, police, friends and neighbors, trying to unearth why such a senseless act was committed, and what society's response might have been. Four Oscar nominations including Brooks for writing and directing, Hall for cinematography and Jones for scoring. Written by filmfactsman.

Theatrical trailer for the 1964 drama "The Pumpkin Eater" starring Anne Bancroft, Peter Fi
Theatrical trailer for the 1964 drama "The Pumpkin Eater" starring Anne Bancroft, Peter Finch, James Mason, Maggie Smith and Sir Cedric Hardwicke (his final film role). Written by Harold Pinter. Directed by Jack Clayton. Jo, the mother of seven children, divorces her second husband, Giles, in order to marry Jake, a successful but promiscuous screenwriter. Though they are physically and emotionally compatible, they are torn apart by Jo's strict marital morality. Following the birth of another child and a terrifying experience with a mentally unbalanced woman, Jo seeks psychiatric advice. Still perturbed, she refuses to accompany Jake to Morocco for location shooting but does agree to undergo sterilization. Following her recovery, she is informed by a sardonic friend, Conway, that Jake has been having an affair with Beth, Conway's wife. Horrified, Jo has a savage fight with Jake and then returns to her second husband. Jake's father dies, and at his funeral, Jo is ignored. Shattered, she retreats alone to an old house in a converted windmill. One day Jake arrives with the children, offering hope that perhaps there will be a new beginning. This film was Bancroft's follow-up to her Oscar-winning role as Annie Sullivan in "The Miracle Worker" (1962) and she won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, the British Film Academy, the Hollywood Foreign Press (Golden Globes) and received her second Best Actress Oscar nomination (losing to Mary Poppins!).

Theatrical trailer for the 1964 international comedy "The Yellow Rolls- Royce" starring In
Theatrical trailer for the 1964 international comedy "The Yellow Rolls- Royce" starring Ingrid Bergman, Rex Harrison, Shirley MacLaine, Jeanne Moreau, Omar Sharif, George C. Scott, Edmound Purdom, Art Carney, Alain Delon and Wally Cox. Music by Riz Ortolani. Following "The V.I.P.'s" (1963), a film about stars stranded at the airport, director Anthony Asquith and writer Terence Rattigan, turned to this stars-on-the-road vehicle; an unconnected three part romantic drama about the glamorous owners of a classic Rolls-Royce. Lord Frinton (Rex Harrison) originally purchases the car in the 1930s as a gift for his beautiful French wife (Jeanne Moreau) only to discover that she is using it to carry on an affair. He promptly sells the car. In Genoa, an American gangster, Paolo Maltese (George C. Scott), buys the car to tour Italy with his gum chewing moll, Mae (Shirley MacLaine). A handsome photographer (Alain Delon) pursues Mae from town to town, but she resists until Paolo has business to attend to in America, leaving them alone in the Rolls, which once again acts as an aphrodesiac. When Paolo returns, he gets wise and sells the car. During the Second World War, American millionairess Gerda Millett (Ingrid Bergman) buys the Rolls, now looking much the worse for wear, in Trieste for a dangerous trip to war torn Yugoslavia. When she meets Davich (Omar Sharif), a dashing young Yougoslav partisan, he compels her to take him with her.

"A Cinderella Named Elizabeth", 1965 featurette on Elizabeth Hartman, the young actress who was discovered and cast in the 1965 film "A Patch of Blue" playing blind girl Selena D'Arcy opposite Sidney Poitier and Shelley Winters. Music by Jerry Goldsmith. Directed by Guy Green.
Elizabeth Hartman was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. She was the middle of three children. She soon appeared in a play, "A Clearing in the Woods." in high school and at that point, she knew she wanted to be an actress.
After high school graduation, she was accepted at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and spent a year there before leaving for California in 1965 where she landed the role of Selina D'Arcy in "A Patch of Blue". She was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award and won the Golden Globe Award as Most Promising Newcomer - Female.
A week after she finished that film, she began six months on location in New York in "The Group." Other movies followed: Francis Ford Coppola's first major film, "You're a Big Boy Now," "The Fixer," "The Beguiled," "Walking Tall," "Full Moon High" and "The Secret of NIMH." She tried landing the part of Pookie Adams in Alan J. Pakula's "Thee Sterile Cuckoo" (1969) but was beaten out by Liza Minnelli.
Hartman also appeared in a television pilot of "Cages" and has done numerous television appearances. She appeared in more plays such as "Our Town," "The Glass Menagerie," "The Madwoman of Chaillot," "Bus Stop" and "Becket,". She also completed a road tour of the play "Morning's at Seven."

Theatrical trailer for the 1963 Ross Hunter comedy "The Thrill of it All" starring Doris Day, James Garner, Arlene Francis and Edward Andrews. Narrated by Carl Reiner. Music by Frank DeVol. Directed by Norman Jewison. This romantic comedy takes satiric aim at the frenetic world of television.

It seems that the president of a soap company, who she has just met, sees the clean-cut Beverly as the perfect TV pitchwoman for his product. After the ads air, Beverly becomes famous from coast to coast, and an even better breadwinner than her husband -- who isn't coping with either of these occurrences very well. Can the Boyers patch up their crumbling marriage before it's too late?
