To paraphrase the peripatetic producer of these Technicolor travelogues, it is with this third volume that we reluctantly say farewell to the "voice of the globe," James A. FitzPatrick. Spanning the years 1940 to 1953, these shorts, produced for MGM, provide poignant and picturesque postcards of the four corners of the Earth, from prewar New Orleans to postwar Western Germany, allowing a generation of moviegoers to experience the world from their hometown movie house. And as a final treat, two...

The West has been won and lawman James Flagg was there to help win it. But it's now the early 1900s and time, like a horseless carriage chugging ahead of a saddled palomino, has passed Flagg by. He's one of the last of a dying breed. And the first to take action when old-time thievery returns to this new Old West. Robert Mitchum and George Kennedy ease into their roles like long time saddle pals in this fightin,' funnin' saga directed by Burt Kennedy (Support Your Local Sheriff ). One...

Ten years after they collaborated on the "extra! extra!" fine newspaper yarn Five Star Final, star Edward G. Robinson and director Mervyn LeRoy set the presses rolling again with another rattling-good tabloid tale. They're playing with dynamite as zealous newshound Robinson returns from World War I juiced to start his own sensation-stoked rag and strikes a devil's bargain to bankroll it with a well-heeled racketeer (Edward Arnold, on screen earlier that year as Meet John Doe's nefarious...

Is it man, beast or both behind a string of savage maulings and murders in The Leopard Man? An escaped leopard provides the catalyst for a foray into fear in which castanets clack wildly, a cemetery is a rendezvous for death and love, and a closed door heightens rather than hides the horror of a young girl's fate. It's the third and final teaming of producer Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur (Cat People). And there's danger dead ahead when director Mark Robson (Bedlam) helms The Ghost Ship....

How the West Was Won aired as a sprawling maxi-series of double-length episodes broadcast over three seasons -- a true saga, as befits the film that inspired it. Each installment presents unique themes, viewpoints and characters, all tied together by their connection to the Macahan family saga, while the family's destiny is manifestly tied to that of the nation's. The third season sees mountain man Zeb Macahan (James Arness, Gunsmoke) continue to lead the clan in the task of taming the new...

A dashing nightclub host uses his looks and charm to separate an heiress from her fortune in this riveting crime drama starring Virginia Bruce and Robert Taylor in his first leading role. When Toni Bradley (Bruce) inherits her wealthy father's New York businesses, the 22-year-old Iowan discovers she's the owner of a dog track, a hockey team and the Casa Nova Cafe, a swank Manhattan nightspot run by ladies' man Steve Gordon (Taylor).

The melodies of You've Got That Thing and You Do Something to Me lace the soundtrack, but Hollywood did something to the screen version of the Cole Porter musical Fifty Million Frenchmen: It dropped the songs! At the time, moviegoers frowned on song-and-dance vehicles, so the studio-tinkered result was a frantic contraption of nonstop jokes, sassy pre-Code double entendres and the antics of vaudeville/radio stars Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson. The slender plot concerns a $50,000 bet that...

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are ideal as malevolent marrieds Martha and George in first-time-director Mike Nichols' searing film of Edward Albee's groundbreaking Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Taylor won her second Academy Award * (and New York Film Critics, National Board of Review and British Film Academy Best Actress Awards). Burton matches her as her emotionally spent spouse. And George Segal and Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner Sandy Dennis score as another couple straying...

Between the years 1933 and 1939, over 800 Jewish members of the German film industry would flee the Nazis and make their way to Hollywood. Adapting to a new culture and homeland, they would soon have a massive impact on American cinema through their influence on genres ranging from comedy, horror, drama and film noir. Narrated by Sigourney Weaver and told through film clips, interviews, home movies, photographs and rare archival footage, Cinema's Exiles: From Hitler to Hollywood explores the...

Brewster McCloud (Bud Cort) lives deep within the cavernous underground of the Houston Astrodome, but his dreams rise much higher. He aims to fly. Not in a plane. But with strapped-on wings he's designing -- encouraged by a mysterious woman (Sally Kellerman) who may be his guardian angel. But Brewster McCloud, Robert Altman's wild, anarchic cult fave, isn't about dreams as much as it is about the highs and lows of humanity. It's a serial-killer mystery. A frenetic car-chase flick. A crazy...
