★★★★ · Actually, it's from 1959. · blackpimp · 2008-04-22

This film is noted as being circa 1940's. But as the end of the film reveals that the film to be previewed is 'Anatomy of a Murder', that would place it in 1959. In the 'Anatomy of a Murder' trailer, also available on this website, Lee Remick can be seen exiting a 1959 Cadillac convertible. Isn't this the greatest website (and project) ever?

★★★ · Prevues? What the heck are Prevues? · Sarte · 2004-10-06

"Prevues of coming attractions!" Another all-purpose film clip. Apparently, one of these coming attractions was "Anatomy of a murder," judging by the film's end.

★★ · A preview of things to come? · EvilEbert · 2003-01-19

So what happens next? The suspense will leave you sleepless.
