Esther Williams dazzles the eye and Red Skelton tickles the funny bone in Texas Carnival, a rootin' tootin' musical "done in such a grand, breezy manner that even Texans are apt to give it a hearty backslap of approval" (Los Angeles Examiner). The two play a down-and-out carnival sideshow team mistaken for a pair of multimillionaires at a swank Texas resort hotel -- a perfect plot for Miss Williams to display both her fine sense of comedy and gorgeous, bathing-suit-clad figure. Skelton is...

Tim Holt -- "The Cowboy Star of the Movies" as his long running comic book called him -- led an amazing double Hollywood life. "By day" he was a stalwart A-list supporting player, lending his talents to vehicles starring the like of Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, and Jimmy Stewart. But "by night" he was a king of the B -movie Westerns, appearing in over 40 Westerns in 14 years. Follow Tim from 1949 to 1952 in this rip-roaring 5 Disc, 10 Movie Collection.

After fleeting marriages to Henry Fonda and William Wyler, Margaret Sullavan found contentment as the wife of producer Leland Hayward (Jason Robards) and as the mother of three. Or so it seemed, until the marriage crumbled, the children rebelled and she was found dead of an overdose at the age of 50. Best Actress Emmy nominee Lee Remick portrays Sullavan, the luminous beauty who turned her talent and intelligence into stardom on stage and screen (including the beloved Three Comrades and The...

In 1998 the world's oil supply is exhausted. The U.S. Treasury is empty and in deep debt to a billionaire businessman (Chief Dan George) who'll foreclose on the nation in 30 days. The solution: a telethon to save Uncle Sam from bankruptcy. And with this way-out-there premise as a launching pad, Americathon explodes into comic outer space. Written by Firesign Theatre veterans Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman, this wickedly funny -- and 30 years later, outrageously timely -- escapade stars Harvey...

In the naughty, bawdy years before the Production Code, filmmakers turned the camera lens toward sin and its more entertaining consequences. The Strange Love of Molly Louvain is a first-rate example of Hollywood's pre-Code love affair with third-rate dames and the louses who mistreat them. Featuring early-Talkie stars Ann Dvorak and Lee Tracy and crisply directed by Michael Curtiz (whose later credits include The Adventures of Robin Hood and Casablanca), the film follows the misfortunes of an...

Alice's ninth and final season serves up the bitter with the sweet alongside Mel's infamous chili as life leads the ladies and gentlemen who frequent the diner to say au revoir to their corner of Phoenix. But there's plenty of laughs to come before the farewells as Mel (Vic Tayback) plays a big, balding wolf and threatens to blow down Mother Goose's (special guest Rue McClanahan) daycare over the objections of Alice (Linda Lavin), Jolene (Celia Weston) and Vera (Beth Howland). Plus, Elliot...

In 1930, director Lewis Milestone won an Academy Award * for his eloquent anti-war masterpiece, All Quiet on the Western Front. But with Edge of Darkness, made in 1943 during the dark days of the German blitzkrieg, Milestone displays no such pacifist sentiments. Indeed, this remarkable drama, set in a small Norwegian village, pays tribute to the heroic spirit of common people taking up arms against the Nazi invaders. Errol Flynn delivers a fine, understated performance as a common fisherman...

It's the entertaining backstage story of two repertory actors, Robert (Lemmon) and John (Broderick), who share a love for the theater, a cramped dressing room and the unpredictable laughs that come with performing live every...

Like something that rolled out of a garage in Andy Hardy's hometown of Carvel Indiana comes Hot Rod. James Lydon (whose radio and film portrayals of Henry Aldrich were perhaps but a half-block removed from Andy) stars as David Langham, an enterprising youth with an eye for the girls and an ear for a well-tuned high-compression machine. And his dad? He's a sagacious font of advice (Art Baker) who happens to be a small town judge. The film, which combines the excitement of tire-singing speed...
