Auntie Mame began as a novel by Patrick Dennis (aka Ed Fitzgerald), then was adapted into a long-running Broadway play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee.

Left in Mame's care when his millionaire father drops dead, young Patrick (Jan Handzlik) is quickly indoctrinated into his aunt's philosophy that "Life is a banquet--and some poor...

One of the all-time great war films, THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI is yet another classic from the marvelous David Lean (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, DR. ZHIVAGO).

British and American intelligence officers conspire to blow up the structure, but Col. Nicholson (a fabulous Alec Guinness), the commander...

The Thailand-Burma Railway was the vision of the Japanese Imperial Army: a 250-mile track cut through dense jungle that would connect Bangkok and Rangoon. To accomplish this nearly impossible feat, the fanatical and ruthless Japanese engineers used POWs and local slaves as manpower. Candid interviews with men who lived through the atrocity–including Dutch, Australian, British, and American POWs–illuminate the violence and horror of their three-and-a-half-year internment.

Bridge on the River Kwai is a strongly written anti war film. It's use of lighting, camera angles, and music all combine to create an atmosphere that few CGI effects can reproduce. The film succeeds in all ways to convey a sense of despair, on both sides of conflict. 4 pgs. No Bibliography.
