Welcome to Classic Movie Trailers.
I created this channel just because i really like classic movies and i just felt like sharing. There may be plenty of movies here that you haven’t seen or heard of, so the trailers may help you find something new to watch.
Here you will find a number of trailers, clips and title sequences from classic films of various genres and a small number of full movies too.
Plots:
An investigator from the War Crimes Commission travels to Connecticut to find an infamous Nazi.
Wilson of the War Crimes Commission is seeking Franz Kindler, mastermind of the Holocaust, who has effectively erased his identity. Wilson releases Kindler's former comrade Meinike and follows him to Harper, Connecticut, where he is killed before he can identify Kindler. Now Wilson's only clue is Kindler's fascination with antique clocks; but, though Kindler seems secure in his new identity, he feels his past closing in.
Quotes:
Mr. Wilson: Well, who but a Nazi would deny that Karl Marx was a German because he was a Jew?
Noah Longstreet: [to his sister just back from her skiing honeymoon] Did you remember to keep your knees together and your apparatus in?
Professor Charles Rankin: The German sees himself as the innocent victim of world envy and hatred, conspired against, set upon by inferior peoples, inferior nations. He cannot admit to error, much less to wrongdoing, not the German. We chose to ignore Ethiopia and Spain, but we learned from our own casualty list the price of looking the other way. Men of truth everwhere have come to know for whom the bell tolled, but not the German. No! He still follows his warrior gods marching to Wagnerian strains, his eyes still fixed upon the firey sword of Siegfried, and he knows subterranean meeting places that you don't believe in. The German's dream world comes alive when he takes his place in shining armor beneath the banners of the Teutonic knights. Mankind is waiting for the Messiah, but for the German, the Messiah is not the Prince of Peace. No, he's... another Barbarossa... another Hitler.
