The "terrible trio" of Summer of '42 has graduated high school. Now the real learning begins. Gary Grimes, Jerry Houser and Oliver Conant return in writer Herman Raucher's continued tale of coming of age in World War II's shadow. For Benjy (Conant), 1944 is a time to serve his country. Hermie (Grimes) and Oscy (Houser) want to enlist but they also serve who stand and study! At their parents' insistence, they enroll at an eastern university. There, Oscy asserts his priorities: football -- and a...

Sailor beware! That sweet trick with the big eyes is looking for more than a good time. She wants a ring! As bad-boy tar Jack Kelly, silent-film leading man William Haines brings his trademark humor, charm and amazing good looks to his first Talkie and proves to be as hear-worthy as he is see-worthy. So successful was Haines's transition to sound that in 1930, one year after Navy Blues was released, he reigned as Hollywood's #1 male box-office star. This nifty little comedy-drama touting the...

After antiwar activists Annie and Arthur Pope (Christine Lahti and Judd Hirsch) blew up a napalm lab in 1971, they became lifelong fugitives. They and their children have stayed just one step ahead of the law, running from state to state, job to job, identity to identity. But now elder son Danny (River Phoenix) wants to stop running from a past not his. And to do so, he might never see his on-the-lam family again. Directed by Sidney Lumet from Naomi Foner's Golden Globe Award-winning...

A notorious bandit confesses to rape and murder, and justice is sure to be swift. But wait. Witnesses to the outrage come forward, each offering different versions of the events. Does truth lie in the eyes of the beholder? A year after Hud, star Paul Newman and director Martin Ritt teamed again and gave the Japanese classic Rashomon an Old West setting, crafting "a brisk and challenging drama far removed from the norm in film fare" (A.H. Weiler, The New York Times). Newman, drawing deep into...

Power, directed by Sidney Lumet (Network, Prince of the City) depicts how calculated and dehumanized the political process has become. The film shows the maneuverings of political candidates as they try to get elected, and the people hired to sell them to the public -- the media consultants. "It's smart, it's knowledgeable, sometimes it's funny, occasionally it's very touching, and I learned something from it" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).

It's why the tropics are hot. In the early days of World War II, Marine Sgt. James O'Hearn brawls his way from China to a palm-fringed isle, from barroom to brig, from romance with a beautiful gal to rivalry with a leatherneck pal, and from tough-guy combat to wiseguy comedy in the spirited South Sea Woman. As O'Hearn, screen icon Burt Lancaster flashes his million-dollar grin, flexes his muscular knack for heroics and delivers the kind of tongue-in-cheek adventure that made The Flame and the...

He finds effervescent songstress Martha Gibson. Doris Day plays Martha. Think she has a chance? During the shooting of Day's first film (Romance on the High Seas), director Michael Curtiz was sure the sparkling newcomer had much more than a chance and set the wheels in motion for My Dream Is Yours. Curtiz...

With a secondhand trumpet and the loving guidance of a brilliant bluesman, a lonely boy grows into manhood as a superb musician whose talent carries him from honky-tonks to posh supper clubs. But his desperate search for an elusive high note -- trapped in his mind but impossible to play -- starts him on a boozy downward slide.

Henry Tyroon likes what wealth can bring, but that isn't why he spends so much time pursuing it. "You do it for fun," he explains. "Money's just the way you keep score." James Garner scores big as Henry, a flimflammer who lands in New York City after his Texas oil well comes up a duster. He needs a million or so in pocket money to pay his debts. Soon, he also hopes to land a blue-eyed blue chip: a stock analyst (Lee Remick) pressured by her firm to unload a worthless stock. Can Henry come up...

Formerly an island prince, he was unjustly put to death by a witch doctor. Now he's returned to life with roots, branches and a vengeance. Against natives. Against visiting American scientists who investigate the tree's radioactive green sap. Against anyone unwise enough to expect a tree to stay put. A macabre medley of creature feature, Polynesian...
