At Sword's Point (1952) - It’s all for one and fun for all as Maureen O’Hara wields a blade as sharp as her wits in this rollicking Technicolor® adventure. With the power-hungry Duc de Lavalle (Robert Douglas) threatening to usurp the throne, the queen (Gladys Cooper) summons the Four Musketeers to come to her aid. But too many years have passed and they’re no longer able to heed the call, so their grown children decide to fight for their fathers instead: D’Artagnan Jr. (Cornel Wilde), Porthos Jr. (Alan Hale Jr.), Aramis Jr. (Dan O’Herlihy) and Athos’ daughter Claire (O’Hara), whose ravishing beauty hides a secret Lavalle’s soldiers will soon give their lives to learn. She’s the deadliest swordsman in France!
Ripley's Believe It or Not (1930-32) - Welcome to the Believe It or Not Hall of Curiosity. Here you’ll find a woman reciting 200+ words in 24 seconds, the world’s smallest book (a 5/16” x 1/8” tome of the Rubaiyat), a 6-year-old lifting 200 pounds, a man-eating tree, a duck teaching chickens to swim, a two-headed turtle, a man with a suit made of Confederate currency and much, much more. You may not believe all you see. But you will be entertained. A little more than a decade after Robert L. Ripley put pen to paper and captured the imaginations of readers everywhere, he brought his knack for finding the unusual to moviehouses with these 24 Theatrical Shorts that are part travelogue, part human interest, part history, part fanciful, all Ripley – believe it or not!
Green Fire (1954) - Go into a mountain poor, come out rich. Rian Mitchell has spent years chasing a fortune and now in the Andes, he may have found a fabled emerald mine of the Conquistadors. He may also have found something more precious: the love of coffee plantation owner Catherine Knowland – if his greed doesn’t drive her from him. Stewart Granger and Grace Kelly headline a tale of heroics and romance filmed in awesome widescreen CinemaScope in scenic locales of Colombia. Andrew Marton, who co-directed Granger’s King Solomon’s Mines and most famously helmed (along with Yakima Canutt) the chariot race in Ben-Hur, brings his knowing hand to the film’s action. Floods, gunfights, a cave-in, a mountain avalanche – adventure burns with a Green Fire.
Arizona Dream (1993) - Academy Award-nominee Johnny Depp ("Pirates of the Caribbean," "Blow"), Academy Award-winner Faye Dunaway ("Network," "Chinatown"), and the legendary Jerry Lewis ("The King of Comedy," "Cinderfella"), headline this offbeat psychodrama about a group of people drawn together in a desert town. Fleeing personal problems to pursue their dreams, they come to learn something about themselves and their relationships with the others around them. The New York Times calls this quirky film "enjoyably adrift, a wildly off-the-wall reverie." Co-starring supermodel Paulina Porizkova ("Her Alibi," "Anna") and Lili Taylor (TV's "Six Feet Under," "High Fidelity").
