11 18th, 2008Artie Shaw - Everything is Jumpin' (1940)
11 18th, 2008
This number is probably best remembered as one of the standout performances from the classic RCA Victor "Artie Shaw at the Blue Room/Cafe Rouge" aircheck set, capturing the 1938-39 Shaw band at its apex. The short "Second Chorus" performance featured here gives us a sense of what the chart sounded like when played by Artie's post-"Frenesi" group. (The little dialogue coda is a reminder that in the film, Fred Astaire and Burgess Meredith were in "The Perennials" - a college band whose students never graduated!)

11 18th, 2008Coney Island of the 1940's
11 18th, 2008
Coney Island, "the place where merriment is king!" Take a trip back in time 50 years before the Mermaid Parade. See masses of old school New Yorkers beat the heat by hitting the beach. See Side Shows! Carnies! Freaks! Thrill rides! Includes the original Coney Island Hot Dog, the Bathing Girl Review, and people getting sick on rides. Not to mention the Tiger Rag, if 1940's Coney Island existed today an insurance agent would have a field day. Still, 1940's Coney Island kicks the ass of most modern amusement parks any day.

11 18th, 2008Fantasia (1940) - The Sorcerer's Apprentice
11 18th, 2008
A clip from Walt Disney's "Fantasia" (which was used again in "Fantasia 2000"). The Sorcerer's Apprentice tells the story of an apprentice who cannot control the magic that he has tried to use, with Mickey Mouse in the role of the apprentice. It was suppose to be Mickey's first appearance in his current design today, but wasn't released till 1940. So Mickey's current design was first seen in a short subject "The Pointer" in 1939.

Amazing device that gives voice to musical instruments. The Sonovox consists of one or two louspeakers placed on the throat that play the source sound. The performer whispers the words while the speakers stand in for the voice box. Used for the talking train in Disney's Dumbo, uncountable radio promos, a tube-in-the-mouth version "Talk Box" was used by Frampton to make his guitar sing, and all-electronic "Vocoder" versions are still used in current pop music.

Fantasia 1940 - The Rite of Spring - Part 1: Genesis
11 18th, 2008
The Rite of Spring from Disney's Fantasia. Stravinsky's omonimous score was supposed to be about primitive human rituals, but Disney's animators took a completely different inspiration from it and decided to tell the history of Earth up to the extinction of the dinosaurs. The combination of music and animation is perfect. This first part shows the evolution of Earth before the appearance of life. Please comment and rate. Thanks.
Pinocchio Original 1940 Trailer
11 18th, 2008Hitchcock's Masterpiece: "Rebecca" (1940)
11 18th, 2008
My favourite scene from this great great classic of cinema history. One of the reasons why I love movies and why I think everyone should love them. The nameless character played by sweet Joan Fontaine explores Manderley and finds Rebecca's old room. There creepy Mrs. Danvers gives her a really bad time showing her all Rebecca's expensive stuff. This movie is just perfect: the actors, the music, the photography, the suspense... Everything is perfect. This scene used to haunt me as a little girl, and I understand now how disturbing it is, with Rebecca's toxic personality filling the air and Mrs. Danvers' obsession tormenting poor Joan Fontaine.
Talvisota 1939-1940
11 18th, 2008
Talvisota kesti 105 päivää, 30.11.1939 - 13.3.1940. Sota päättyi Moskovan rauhansopimukseen, jossa Suomi luovutti 10 prosenttia maa-alueistaan ja toiseksi suurimman kaupunkinsa, Viipurin, Neuvostoliitolle. Natoliiton etu Suomelle lasketaan näin: (A/100)·B/C A=Venäjän hyökkäystodennäköisyysprosentti B=Tappiot Venäjäsodassa C=Tappiot Natojoukoissa Jos laskun tulos on yli 1, kuuluminen Natoon on Suomen edun mukainen. B on niin paljon suurempi kuin C, että yli nollan oleva A puoltaa Suomen Natojäsenyyttä. Tappioiden lisäksi vaakakupissa on myös itsenäisyyden menetys.
