Murrow, the esteemed television journalist, and it includes the first film to be based on a Jules Verne novel, Georges Melies's A TRIP TO THE MOON from 1902.

Arrowsmith [DVD]
John Ford's adaptation of the Sinclair Lewis Nobel Prize-winning novel stars Ronald Colman as the idealistic Martin Arrowsmith. Although a brilliant medical student, Arrowsmith's chances of pursuing a research fellowship are sidetracked by his marriage to nurse Leora Tozer (Helen Hayes). The couple returns to Leora's small Minnesota hometown, where Arrowsmith establishes a medical practice while continuing to do research on his own. After a few years, he discovers the cure for a bovine disease, which lands him a job doing research with former mentor Dr. Max Gottlief (A.E. Anson) in New York. Scientist Gustavus Sondelius (Richard Bennett), a friend of the researchers', informs them that a plague is devouring the West Indies. Eager to test a new serum, Arrowsmith accompanies the scientist to the islands, reluctantly taking Leora along. Although the white population refuses to participate in the experiment, a black doctor persuades the native people to take the serum. In the course of his research, Arrowsmith meets Joyce Lanyon (Myrna Loy), the daughter of a plantation owner--and finds himself irresistibly drawn to her. Colman, Hayes, and Bennett contribute fine performances, and the supporting cast, particularly John Qualen and Beulah Bondi, are outstanding. Ford, famous for his sublime visual sense in handling epic material, displays a deft directorial touch in the quiet, intimate ARROWSMITH, creating a wrenching portrait of a man struggling to do right while shrouded in a mist of moral ambiguity.

A Double Life [DVD]
George Cukor's perfectly mannered direction confidently guides this brooding and cynical film noir that is considered by many the highlight of actor Ronald Colman's career. A DOUBLE LIFE explores the dangers of blurring the line between reality and illusion in this examination of the schizoid personality of a talented stage actor who begins to confuse his role with his life. Colman gives a magnificent, mesmerizing performance as veteran thespian Anthony John, who begins to mentally derail during a run of OTHELLO. John's courtly manners and reputation have a winning charm that endear him to both audiences and women, including his ex-wife, Brita (Signe Hasso), who acts opposite him in the play, and Pat (Shelley Winters), a young, sexy waitress. However, the charming actor, like his stage character, appears capable of violent behavior. Colman's performance earned him an Academy Award as well as applause from critics and viewers. A DOUBLE LIFE was the first among many successful collaborations between Cukor and the screenwriting team of Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin.

Random Harvest [DVD]
Based on the novel by James Hilton (whose LOST HORIZON and GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS had already been made into profitable films), this lavish MGM show features Ronald Colman as a soldier who has lost his memory. He escapes from the hospital to find himself alone on the streets as the public cheers the end of World War I. Showgirl Paula, played by showstopper Greer Garson, takes home the handsome amnesiac, and the two start a blissful marriage while leading a life of poverty. But when Colman is hit by a car, he regains his memory from before the war while losing all records of the events since--including his marriage to Garson. Colman resumes his life as aristocrat Charles Rainier while Garson takes on a fictitious identity to become his secretary, hoping that one day he will recognize her for his wife. This blockbuster romance directed by the great Mervyn LeRoy survives today on the heat the two stars emanate for each other.

The Gary Cooper Collection (4-Disc Set) [DVD]
Two-time Oscar winner Gary Cooper perfected his portrayal of the strong, silent type through decades of work in Hollywood. This set includes four classic films featuring the iconic actor. THE COWBOY AND THE LADY: In this entertaining romantic comedy, a rodeo rider named Stretch, played with ample charm by Gary Cooper, falls in love with a cunning bored aristocrat named Mary Smith (Merle Oberon). After having convinced the two maids from her house to keep her secret, Mary drags them on a girls' night out, meets Stretch, and tells him that she is a parlor maid who has run away from home to escape her father's beatings. In reality, Mary has gone under cover hoping to outwit her father, a wealthy presidential candidate. Henry Kolker is formidable as Mary's father, Horace, and one actually likes him enough to hope he doesn't discover his daughter's charade. Without letting Stretch know her true identity, Mary eventually convinces him to elope aboard a ship where even more humorous confusion transpires. H.C.Potter directs and keeps the duel story line tight. Leo McCarey co-wrote the story and the lively screenplay boasts contributions from Anita Loos and Dorothy Parker. THE REAL GLORY: An army medic solves all of the Philippines' medical and military problems almost single-handedly after the devastation of the Spanish-American war. VERA CRUZ: In Robert Aldrich's action-packed Western, Benjamin Trane (Gary Cooper) and Joe Erin (Burt Lancaster) are American soldiers of fortune hired by the Austrian ruler of Mexico, Maximilian, to safeguard a royal convoy transporting gold and an Austrian countess to the port of Vera Cruz. Things get complicated for the mercenaries when they begin to mistrust one another--and when Erin starts to fall for the countess. Aldrich throws a bit of European exotica into the standard oater formula of guns, grit, and gold to create a striking, memorable film that showcases the acting talents of Cooper and Lancaster, two monumental Hollywood stars. The director also sprinkles some trenchant historical commentary into his powder-keg narrative by showing the Hapsburg empire's bumbling attempt to annex Mexico. THE WINNING OF BARBARA WORTH: This silent gem features Cooper and Ronald Colman (LOST HORIZON) in early starring roles. Cooper and Colman play a pair of engineers whose love for a landowner's daughter pits them against each other. But when their engineering job falls through, the men must join forces to save their project and rescue their mutual love from an angry mob.

The Talk of the Town [DVD]
George Stevens' last film with Cary Grant represents yet another hit in his string of classic comedies. Grant stars as Leopold Dilg, a political activist who is wrongly indicted for arson and murder when a factory worker dies in a mill fire in the town of Sweetbrook. Believing that he'll be executed if he remains in jail, he escapes and breaks into a cottage that schoolteacher Nora Shelley (Jean Arthur) is preparing for Professor Michael Lightcap (Ronald Coleman), the dean of a law school. She allows Grant to stay in the attic, without alerting the professor. The next day, a reporter arrives to question Lightcap about Dilg's case, along with Sam Yates (Edgar Buchanan), Dilg's lawyer, who comes at Nora's behest. Since Yates and Lightcap know each other from law school, Yates asks Lightcap's help in defending his client, who he claims to have been framed. The professor refuses, intent on writing a legal treatise. Before Yates leaves, he persuades Nora to house Dilg, who she introduces to Lightcap as a gardener. Before long, the professor begins to realize that the gardener is well versed in the intricacies and inequities of the U.S. legal system. Stevens' entertaining romantic triangle, in which the atmosphere of legal debate is leavened by wit, and low comedy, is brilliantly played by all, especially an atypically dark and impulsive Grant. The director's characteristically deft touch with comic business is evident throughout the film.
