Set in 1930s Chicago, Party Girl follows a bum-legged mouthpiece for the mob (Robert Taylor) and a gorgeous, wised-up vamp (Cyd Charisse) who fall in love, try to go straight and head straight for trouble.

Robert Taylor ("Ivanhoe") delivers a powerful performance as the pilot of the Enola Gay who dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Troubled by his actions, he struggles to cope with his guilt and his marriage. Based on the true story of Col. Paul Tibbets. Co-starring Oscar-nominees James Whitmore ("Battleground") and Eleanor Parker ("Interrupted Melody").

A misunderstood youngster turns into one of the West's most notorious outlaws. Billy the Kid. Say that name in the 1880s New Mexico Territory and some folks whoop for joy. Other folks reach for their guns.

Swashbuckling screen legends Stewart Granger ("King Solomon's Mines") and Robert Taylor ("Ivanhoe") star as feuding New England whaling brothers. Their fraternal loyalties are tested when Granger leads Taylor's crew to mutiny in an effort to steal sacred pearls from island natives. Oscar-nominee Ann Blyth ("Mildred Pierce") costars. With Kurt Kasznar (TV's "Land of the Giants," "Lili"). Produced by Academy Award-recipient Pandro S. Berman ("Ivanhoe," "Top Hat," "Father of the Bride").

His own soda pop machine. Air conditioning. The finest cotton underwear. Someone else doing the work. That's M/Sgt. Maxwell Slaughter's (Jackie Gleason) game -- and man, can he play it. Just ask Supply Sgt. Eustis Clay (Steve McQueen), who idolizes the big, shrewd, supremely self-confident older man. Maybe someday they can go into business together. In the meantime, how about a hot double date? So Clay fixes Slaughter up with a teenybopper named Bobby Jo (Tuesday Weld), a move that sets off a...

Posing as master and slave, likable swindlers Quincy (James Garner) and Jason (Lou Gossett) ride into backwater prairie towns in 1875. And after Quincy intones and Jason moans, Jason is sold to the highest bidder. Quincy later springs him loose and they split town, split the cash and head down the road to the next sucker. It's an effective scam for these smart and nimble schemers -- until they cross paths with an equally clever con woman (Susan Clark) and an irate former customer (Edward...

Serpico. Dog Day Afternoon. Prince of the City. In these gritty and distinguished films, director Sidney Lumet held a mirror up to his adopted hometown, New York. In Bye Bye Braverman, he uses a funhouse mirror. The result is hilarious, satiric, wise, giddy -- and no less trenchant. Sparked by a blue-ribbon cast, the film follows four Jewish intellectuals jammed into one Volkswagen and squabbling nonstop en route to the funeral of their friend Leslie Braverman. What happens on the way (a...

Oscar and Golden Globe-nominee Joan Blondell ("Grease," "The Champ") stars in this enjoyable comedy about an eccentric millionaire who hires a gold digger to run his business. Dick Powell ("42nd Street," "Murder, My Sweet") and Ruby Keeler ("That's Dancing!," "42nd Street") give great performances in this well-made musical.

Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler play a cadet and general's daughter who once shared a Hawaiian fling -- until she said aloha. But three years later they're cast together in the military academy's Hundredth Nite Show, where sweet music and snappy rhythms work their romantic magic. Featuring catchy tunes, comedy and cheerful flag-waving, Flirtation Walk earned two Academy Award nominations* (including Best Picture).

The story, much of it filmed in Annapolis at the historic United States Naval Academy, involves a midshipman (Powell) who'd rather be a crooner than a sailor and a dance instructor (Keeler) who'd rather not chart a life's course with a navy man. Time and circumstance (including danger at sea during a training cruise) will change all that.

American Jane Clarke (Ruby Keeler) is Ready, Willing and Able to pass herself off as a London musical star with the same name if it lands her on Broadway. Clue #1 that she isn't that Jane Clarke: She can dance, but only a devoted, tone-deaf mother could say she can sing. Clue #2: Up pops the other Jane Clarke herself (Wini Shaw, who wowed fans with Lullaby of Broadway in Gold Diggers of 1935). Pure Golden Era fun!

Playing a high-rise window washer with high aspirations, Dick Powell sets the ebullient tone, crooning the title tune and more songs. Ingenue Josephine Hutchinson is the society girl attracted to the working man while hiding her family's deep pockets. Frank McHugh, Allen Jenkins, Ruth Donnelly and more supporting favorites give further proof there's fun ahead.
