Roman Holiday (1953)

Im not much of the fact man, but when I started watching it, I though just one clip they were over seas somewhere else helping some needy people. But I dont wanna dive into nit picking!
Ha, you are like me.... you need to take notes as you watch certain movies.
I finally made up a main-cast list for THE SEVEN SAMURAI, with photos and names, so I could remember all the characters correctly.

The White Road
(I finally recognized Geraldine Brooks, so that helped a lot)
TCM has aired it under the title The Green Glove. It also has another English title, The Gauntlet.
And it also has a French title, Le gantelet vert.
IMDB lists it as a French and American film.

#1 sounds like OUT OF THE PAST, although you have some information mixed up.
The beach was in Mexico and the creek was the East Walker River.
-
TCM has shown this film several times. A problem with searching for it with clues and keywords is because it is listed more as a crime film than a war film.

The Paul Muni version was a Howard Hughes production. I heard that Jean Harlow (who was under contract to him at that time)
made an appearance as an extra in the film.
Yes.... when Paul Muni and his bodyguards enter a nightclub, while the band is playing St. Louie Woman, they look around then turn left to go to a table. As they walk, Jean is walking with a group of her friends toward the exit door. It is a wide shot, but it certainly looks like Jean.
I love this particular scene, because it looks so pre-code, and I would love to have been in that same nightclub that particular night.
The music sounds like a Louie Armstrong version of the song, and he was playing in a nightclub in Los Angeles during the time this film was being made. The studios often hired local bands for recording individual numbers for films with live band type background music. He wasn't famous enough at that time to be credited, so I don't know if it really is him and his band playing that tune.
At about 1:45 into this preview clip, you can see Muni walking into the club, then he stops and says hello to some blonde girl who is walking out of the club, and that is Jean Harlow.

Yaaa, you gotta good one going!

Ok, I've got it.
TCM has shown this film a few times, but I never watched it.
I'll hold off naming it.

ZULU 1964
See the red coats.

Fred, I have no idea what film this is, and apparently no one else does.
You can provide the title if you wish.
The St. Louis Bank Robbery (1959) aka The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ickpl67DVTs
This can be found on YouTube by using the search term:
film noir crime
With St. Louis in the title, and St. Louis being on the Mississippi River, with its old bridges in the 1950s, I took a look at this, and this was it. I was astounded to see Steve McQueen as the films star. I've never heard of the film before, or any of its actors.
-
Your first two photos give enough clues to send a researcher in the right direction.
Wide river, big city, old-fashioned narrow bridge, 1950s car, the guy in the hat looks like either a cop or a crook.
The city doesn’t look like New York, Chicago, or L.A., so it must be some other city, perhaps a Midwestern city.
-
The movie is overblown. Like somebody said no chemistry between Sharif and Christie but if you wanna take a cold dirty freezing train ride to adiyatin or whatever the hell it was called, this is the movie for you.
The best part of the film starts with the train ride to Yuriatin. I don't watch the first half of the film anymore, but I still love the second half.
-
Ok, I've got it.
After this scene, some guys get together for a meeting.
I'll wait for someone else to guess it.
-
I think I'll just pass on the next one or two. This takes all of my time when I'm searching for clues and keywords.
-
OK, your old car is ALSO in
MIDWAY 1976
-
You are technically correct. This clip was used (in this sepiatone shade) at the beginning of another war film.. with planes, ships and guns. It's this other film I'm using here. I was hoping that shading would be a clue
OK, your cropped colorized version of the carrier take-off is in:
Midway 1976

THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO
-
Not Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.. this is another war film with planes, ships and guns
I have the frame frozen on YouTube right now. It's the scene where Spencer Tracy is about to start his plane and take off from the aircraft carrier.
I will link you to it here. The frames of this shot come at about 1:50 into the clip.
It is here:

You have posted a cropped and colorized version of this same scene. The ORIGINAL was in THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO, made in 1944.
Question for ALL of you!

Here is the ORIGINAL ending that was changed a few weeks after the film was released. This one had Jane Wyatt waiting and watching for him:
