In 1957, two starkly dramatic movies about a mentally troubled woman with three distinct personalities vied for attention. The second of these elevated Joanne Woodward to stardom and won her a Best Actress Oscar for The Three Faces of Eve. But the first, arriving months earlier and boasting a juicy role for three-time Academy Award nominee Eleanor Parker, is equally worthy. In Lizzie, from Shirley Jackson's novel The Bird's Nest, Parker is first seen as frail, sad Elizabeth, beset by headaches...

Questions of identity and destiny rise to the surface in the sixth season of this fan-favorite family sit-com.

This 7-Disc, 58-Episode Collection starts out on a high note as James Mason guests as a damaged doc whose...

While the country around it seethed through a time of astonishing societal changes, Medical Center remained at the vanguard of science and drama.
