| Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse (Sound Version) (Standard 4:3) - Stillman Fires Collection; Tacoma Fire Department (Video) - Castle Films (Sound)
In November, 1940, the newly completed Tacoma Narrows Bridge, opened barely four months before, swayed and collapsed in a 42 mile-per-hour wind. There were no casualties except a dog trapped in a car stranded on the bridge. A rescue was attempted (by the man with the pipe), but the frightened animal would not leave the car. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark to discourage relic seekers and salvage operations...

| "Things To Come" - Montage - Alexander Korda
In 1936, director William Cameron Menzies, editor William Hornbeck, and composer Sir Arthur Bliss, pooled their considerable talents and created what is possibly (at least, I think) the most powerful two minutes and 22 seconds ever put on film -- the prophetic montage from Alexander Korda's "Things To Come." It is an exercise in contrasts between war and peace. How can this clip fit into your anti-war project? Let your imagination run away with you...

WARNING: Graphic images. This is a montage of photographs that Alexander Gardner and his associates took shortly after the Battle of Gettyburg, and before the filed had been completedly cleared of the dead. Added to the stench of decaying bodies, there was also the aroma of 5,000 dead horses that had not been removed from the battlefield. It was a grim task indeed. NOTE: The music is clear and in the public domain...

| Kissing - The Edison Company
Public kissing was greatly frowned upon during the uptight Victorian era, when this scene was produced in Thomas Edison's new glass-topped studio in New York City. As a result, the movie was banned in most areas (which of course, only made it more popular). Sadly, the two lovers have come down through history as unknowns, but their behavior is most familiar. In their day, this popular sport was called "sparkin'" if it took place inside (usually in the parlor), or "spoonin'" if committed outdoors...

| White Zombie: Excerpt - Edward Halperin Productions
After his success in Tod Browning's "Dracula," Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi (1882-1956) refused the role of the monster in "Frankenstein" because he believed all the grunting required of him would be beneath his dignity as an actor. Ironically, however, Lugosi tended to accept any script offered to him in which there was plenty of dialog. The result was a string of low-grade Z pictures that were basically parodies of his great success as Count Dracula...
