i never notice that RITA HAYWORTH WAS IN the video in 6:06

@SILENTSHADOW961 Wow, neither did I, thanks for pointing it out. Must be from Affectionately Yours (1941), as the other two actors in the scene are James Gleason and George Tobias, and according to imdb that's the only film they made together.

@VTMCompany Looks like Cliff Edwards throughout this reel to me. :)

[nicoley132]

@EverythingMe15 That's Brenda Marshall; might be a movie called East of the River.

James Stewart -was- charming, a truly nice guy -- just said some salty things along the way!

My dear, that laugh of Jimmy Stewart's around 3:05 just makes my heart weak!

(cont.) Here playing entertainingly against type as a Mexicano, one can understand George Reeves' later acute frustration as an actor with being locked, in the 1950s, into a longterm contract to play (as he deemed it, a one-dimensional children's cartoon character) Superman. Yet he played it (as all his roles) with humor, wit, grace and good sportsmanship.

[JudgeJulieLit]

In 1:42--1:52 (to left of Cagney) are two late great Hollywood actors: here, young handsome George Reeves (minor character Brent Tarleton in 1939 film Gone With the Wind, and starred in 1950s tv series Superman) and Victor Kilian (played grandpa in 1970s tv sitcom-soapopera "Mary Hartman Mary Hartman").

Tragically coincidentally, in later years (Reeves in 1959 and Kilian in late 1970s) both actors were unrelatedly murdered.
