Dr. Macro's High Quality Movie Scans
It may sound a slightly odd name but this site is an absolute gem, it does exactly what it says on the door and particularly focuses on actors and actresses from the Forties and earlier. Even better, a few of them also have video clips of some of their best-known films, radio shows and (for those who also sang) examples of their songs. It's a wonderful treasure trove and fully deserving of more than just a place on my links list, where it might easily be overlooked. I urge you to go and have a look round, and in the meantime here are some examples of my favourites to whet your appetites. How many can you identify?
