Hollywood’s brightest stars and movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Holiday
Johnny (Cary Grant) seems like a solid match for Julia (Doris Nolan), the socialite daughter of Edward Seton (Henry Kolker). Assured that Johnny is a worthy suitor, Edward approves of the pairing. But, as Johnny's wanderlust surfaces -- he is more interested in traveling than in business -- Edward starts to have doubts. Johnny also begins to wonder if he might not be a better match for Linda (Katharine Hepburn), Julia's outspoken younger sister, with whom he has much more in common.
The Caine Mutiny
During World War II, a dilapidated vessel, the Caine, gets a new ensign, Willis Keith (Robert Francis), and a new captain, Commander Queeg (Humphrey Bogart). The crew sees Queeg's unconventional behavior as irrational, and communications officer Thomas Keefer (Fred MacMurray) spreads suspicion about his suitability as captain. When a dire situation during a storm forces the executive officer (Van Johnson) to relieve Queeg of his duties, he and Ensign Keith are tried for mutiny.
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Adaptation of the Pierre Boulle novel about POWs in Burma forced to build a bridge to aid the war effort of their Japanese captors. British and American officers plot to blow up the structure, but the commander of the bridge's construction has different plans.
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
When Joanna Drayton (Katharine Houghton), a free-thinking white woman, and black doctor John Prentice (Sidney Poitier) become engaged, they travel to San Francisco to meet her parents. Matt Drayton (Spencer Tracy) and his wife Christina (Katharine Hepburn) are wealthy liberals who must confront the latent racism the coming marriage arouses. Also attending the Draytons' dinner are Prentice's parents (Roy E. Glenn Sr., Beah Richards), who vehemently disapprove of the relationship.
First Men in the Moon
Around the turn of the 20th century, Joseph Cavor (Lionel Jeffries), a brilliant British scientist, creates his own spacecraft and takes a trip to the moon, accompanied by explorers Arnold Bedford (Edward Judd) and Kate Callender (Martha Hyer). After landing, they encounter an insect-like alien race that lives under the moon's surface, which has an air-like atmosphere. After glimpsing the extraterrestrial society, the group must soon escape back to Earth.
Boston Blackie Goes Hollywood
Rehabilitated ex-convict Boston Blackie (Chester Morris) doesn't crack safes anymore, but single-minded Inspector Farraday (Richard Lane) is determined to link him to the theft of a priceless diamond. When Farraday ropes the diamond's millionaire owner, Arthur Manleder (Lloyd Corrigan), into framing Blackie for the theft, the ex-safecracker and his faithful sidekick, Runt (George E. Stone), have to track down and capture the real thieves while staying one step ahead of the cops.
Jeanne Eagels
In this biopic, waitress Jeanne Eagels (Kim Novak) is desperate for fame and joins the carnival to try to achieve it. Under the watchful eye of impresario Sal Satori (Jeff Chandler), Eagels becomes a dancer -- a position that eventually brings her to New York City. With her heart set on filling a Broadway marquee with her name, Eagels takes acting lessons and earns a job as an understudy for a big production. But what she really wants is the starring role -- and she'll hurt anyone to get it.
The Ambushers
A secret agent (Dean Martin) saves a flying-saucer prototype and its pilot (Janice Rule) in the third of four Matt Helm movies.
