I COVER THE WATERF RONT
1933 -- 72 minutes. Black & white. Edward Small Prod. Claudette Colbert, Ben Lyon, Ernest Torrence, Maurice Black.
Produced by Howard Hughes. Directed by James Cruze. Then-popular Ben Lyon plays the real-life role of San Diego
reporter H. Joseph Miller, whose unique and personal experiences covering the waterfront make up the plot of this gritty
and realistic drama, obviously made before the production code crackdown. The film employs tough, hard-boiled dialogue
and situations with a lot of newspaper humor. Claudette Colbert plays Julie, the daughter of an unscrupulous but likeable
waterfont smuggler (Ernest TOITence) who spends most of his off-hours in San Diego's red light district, getting drunk and
playing the piano. Claudette's penchant for swimming nude in the ocean gets Ben's attention. In order to learn more about
her father's smuggling operation, he plans to make love to her, with all expenses paid by his newspaper. But then, as you
might expect, they fall in love! Considered pretty racy in its day, and still enjoyable.

Count Zaroff, a former explorer who lives on an
isolated tropical island. Having lost his taste for

women - shipwrecking them off his island, setting
them loose on his estate after arming them with
knives, then going after them with bow and arrow
and high-powered rifle. Joel McCrea and Fay Wray
are his quarry on this occasion. The film uses many
of King Kong's sets and talent - - including Max

everyone's favorite victim.

Directed by Harold French. When a clerk embezzles money from his employer, he boards the Paris Express to escape from

PENNY SERENADE
(Program #324)
1941 -- 125 minutes. Black and white. Columbia Pictures. Irene Dunne,
Cary Grant, Beulah Bondi. Directed by George Stevens. Built around a series
of memories; Julie (Irene Dunne) plays phonograph records just before she is
about to break up with her husband Roger (Cary Grant). Each song reminds her of
an important event in their relationship: their meeting and engagement; her
miscarriage and subsequent inability to bear children; their adoption of a baby
girl who dies after a brief illness at the age of six; Roger'S inability to cope with
this, precipitating their separation. At the end they reconcile, adopting a new
baby and starting a new life together. The film is especially memorable for two
sequences: Julie's unsuccessful attempt to bathe the baby, shown in an extremely
long take; and Roger's successful plea before a judge to allow the couple to keep
their baby despite temporary poverty. The tearful courtroom speech is one of the
fmest moments in Cary Grant's career. A soap opera which piles one tragedy on
top of another. Written and directed with such honesty and sophistication, and
acted with such brilliance, that it transcends its genre .

Aubrey Schenk. Scott Brady, Richard Rober, Yul Brynner, Lynne Carter. The Port of New York is not only the biggest
seaport in the world, it's also a battleground in the United States' war on narcotics. In this action-packed docu-drama, we
follow customs agent Mike Waters (Scott Brady) and his friend from the Bureau of Narcotics, Jim Flannery (Richard Rober),
as they track down a smuggled cargo of heroin destined for drug kingpin Paul Stasser (Yul Brynner with a full head of hair!).
What Stasser doesn't know is that this illegal cargo of drugs has been infected with bubonic plague, which means death to
all who use it. Yul Brynner, in his film debut, is outsanding as the wacko psychopath who listens to wild classical music
while he strangles his victims!

personality." Variety

Raymond Massey, Merle Oberon. The daring
exploits of the Scarlet Pimpernel in rescuing French
aristocrats from the guillotine is material for an exciting
tale of court intrigue, daring adventure, romance and a
thrilling chapter of history. Leslie Howard plays Sir Percy,
the English gentleman who masquerades as a vain and
fatuous dandy to hide his exploits as the real Pimpernel.
A lavish production and an entertaining script by
S. N. Behrman and Robert Sherwood .
• "Mr. Howard is the Pimpernel himself, gallant and
resourceful on his perilous missions across the Channel,
downright superb when he is playing the simpering poseur
in the English drawing rooms."
- The New York Times Film Review
• "Jf anything, this is one of the few examples of the film
being beller than the novel, and certainly this film is one of
the ones that keeps Leslie Howard forever in the mind while
the Baroness Drczy is all but forgollen."

SCARLET STREET
(Program #70)
1945 -- 103 minutes. Black and white. Universal; Walter Wanger Production. Joan Bennett, Edward G. Robinson,
Dan Duryea, Margaret Lindsay. Directed by Fritz Lang. An atmospheric film that builds slowly to a haunting
conclusion. Christopher Cross (Robinson) is a henpecked middle-aged cashier who becomes infatuated with Bennett, a
young woman whose boyfriend encourages her to seduce Chris so they can get at his money. Chris' passion ends up ruining
his life, and eventually drives him to murder. In one devastating shot, Lang dissolves to a close-up of Chris' painting depicting a snake whose body coils throughout the canvas and which strikingly suggests the young woman's hold on Chris .
The sequence of Chris haunted by guilt in his darkened room is also especially chilling .
• "(Lang's) is a cinema of shadow and darkness, its chief selling the nocturnal city, the work of an oppressive,
remarkably single-minded genius." -The Celluloid Muse
SCROOG E
(Program #190)
1935 -- 61 minutes. Black and white. Paramount (British). Sir Seymour Hicks, Maurice Evans, Robert Cochran, Donald

THE SECOND WOMAN
(Program #71)
1951 -- 91 minutes. Black and white. United Artists; Cardinal Productions. Robert Young, Betsy Drake, John Sutton,
Florence Bates. The music of Tchaikovsky dominates this Gothic romance, which takes place in brooding old mansions
perched on seaside cliffs. An architect, suffering from blackouts and depression, believes himself responsible for the death
of his fiancee the night before they were to have been married .
• "Young is a very quiet psychotic, underplaying almost to the point of somnambulism. This actually works in the
context of the film, as it is highly suspenseful and any emoting on Young's part would have destroyed the moody
believability slowly built by Smith's screenplay and Kern's direction." - The Motion Picture Guide
(Drama/Romance)
SMASH-UP, THE STORY OF A WOMAN
Universal-International; Walter Wanger Production.
Susan Hayward, Lee Bowman, Marsha Hunt, Eddie Albert.

her friends, alienates her husband and neglects her little girl.
She suffers beautifully, though -- through a multitude of
tragedies, including divorce, separation from the child she loves
and disfigurement in a fire started by her own cigarette. At this
point, only Susan Hayward could still make us feel sorry for this
character! Will she be able to quit drinking and put her life back
together in spite of all? See this great movie and find out.

wholly self-confident creature who believes that he is
superior to anyone he meets -- he is evil incarnate. He is
not a snarling. flamboyant evil. but a quiet. calm. cold.
evil/hat can infiltrate any community and destroy it. It is a
