Question
  We are film makers here in Cleveland working on or next project. We need clips from old movies showing delivery room, maternity ward scenes and just general scenes around baby's and hospital settings. Like parents looking through the glass at there son, nurses tending to the rows of infants in delivery scenes.

Answer
Hi Neil,

Soryy for the delay.  I came up with two old musicals that had scenes of dad's looking thru the glass at their babies.  The 1st is 20th Century Fox's 1949 technicolor musical, starring Anne Baxter and Dan Dailey,"You're my Everything",.....in which the dad, Dan Dailey, and aunt, Anne Revere check out his baby, each thinking it looks More like them.  Turns out it's the wrong baby.

The 2nd film is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's 1952 techicolor musical,  starring Marge and Gower Champion,"Everything I have is Yours"....in which Gower Champion looks at His new baby thru the glass.  

Neither has been released on VHS or DVD, (although I have a copy of the 1st film on vhs which I taped from TV years ago, and a copy of the 2nd film on Laserdisc.

Perhaps the other Experts will be ably to come up with additional films for you.

Sincerely,

Jim Kason
