On this page here I have a small piece of Quicktime at 320x256. I have used the href="_" and target="myself" tags to have it play another movie at 320X240 (240 + 16 for the controls) in the same position when clicked.

I want to get it like at Apple's site where you see the small image without the controls, then when you click it, the movie shows up with the controls.

I thought by setting the size to 320X256, having the first movie at that size, and the second at 320X240, the controls would not be visible for the first piece but they would for the second.

Can someone help?

Your <embed> code is incorrect for the effect you're trying to achieve. Here's the correct version.

Code:
<EMBED SRC="opening.mov" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=256 AUTOPLAY=FALSE LOOP=FALSE CONTROLLER=FALSE HREF="http://homepage.mac.com/bnuts/files/movies/the_first_nut.mov" TARGET="myself" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" >
You can see an example of something similar that I made last week at http://commons.ucalgary.ca/StMary/.
