Rating 6.5/10
Runtime: 80 min
Language: English
Country: USA

Russell Johnson ... George
Kathleen Hughes ... Jane
Ralph Brooks ... Posseman

Description: John Putnam is a writer and an amateur stargazer with a new home out in the beautiful Arizona desert, which he enjoys with Ellen Fields, his girlfriend and a local schoolteacher. John is not trusted by the people of the small town near where he lives, certainly not by Sheriff Matt Warren, who feels protective of Ellen, and perhaps something more. One night, John and Ellen see a meteorite crash in the desert. John drags his friend, Pete, out of bed to take him over to the crash site in his helicopter. Once there, John climbs down into the crater. Unfortunately, he does so alone, as Pete and Ellen wait for him. John is the only one who sees the spaceship before a landslide covers it. And John is the only one who catches a glimpse of the hideous thing inside. At first John's story seems mad, until some of the townsfolk begin acting strange - as if they aren't really who they seem to be...?

No down payment (1957) - little known social drama from director Martin Ritt, starring Joanne Wodward, Sheree North, Tony Randall, Jeffrey Hunter, Cameron Mitchell, Patricia Owens, Pat Hingle and Barbara Rush

Rating 7.1/10
Runtime: 105 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Martin Ritt
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050771/

Cast

Joanne Woodward ... Leola Boone
Sheree North ... Isabelle Flagg
Tony Randall ... Jerry Flagg
Jeffrey Hunter ... David Martin
Cameron Mitchell ... Troy Boone
Patricia Owens ... Jean Martin
Barbara Rush ... Betty Kreitzer
Pat Hingle ... Herman Kreitzer

Description: The intertwined lives of four couples living in the new housing development, Sunrise Hills Estates, in the suburban American town of Sunrise Hills is presented, their backyards which form the equivalent of the four corners. Sunrise Hills by design is a homogeneous community of white, middle class, Christian families. Each of the four couples enter this living situation from different histories, with some seeing it solely as a stopover to something better while others spend their time trying to make Sunrise Hills the best place to live in seeing it as home in the long run. Regardless of which group into which they fall, each person does regard this living situation as an important and necessary step in their version of the American dream. The financial price for taking this step is being in debt for twenty-five years as houses, cars and other big ticket items can be easily purchased on credit no money down, something not available to people in their standing one generation earlier. That surface homogeneity in particular does not necessarily make for a harmonious community below the surface, especially as there is a natural course of outward neighborliness in everyone being the same and having the same views without that actually being the case.

The young lions (1958) - little known war drama from director Edward Dmytryk, starring Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, Dean Martin, Hope Lange, Barbara Rush and Maximilian Schell

Rating 7.2/10
Runtime: 167 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Edward Dmytryk
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052415/

Cast

Marlon Brando ... Lt. Christian Diestl
Montgomery Clift ... Noah Ackerman
Dean Martin ... Michael Whiteacre
Hope Lange ... Hope Plowman
Barbara Rush ... Margaret Freemantle
May Britt ... Gretchen Hardenberg
Maximilian Schell ... Capt. Hardenberg
Dora Doll ... Simone
Lee Van Cleef ... 1st Sgt. Rickett

Description: World War II. Movie Focuses on the military and personal lives of three men for the duration of the war. The first is Lieutenant Christian Diestl of the German SS. A self-professed non-political person, he believed that Hitler and the Nazis would be good for Germany by bringing a new prosperity to working class people like him, and that the few casualties of war are a necessary means to the desired end. The second and third are US Army Privates Michael Whiteacre and Noah Ackerman, who meet and befriend each other at the draft board office. Michael is a famous Broadway entertainer, who doesn't want to see any action and uses whatever means available because of his celebrity status to get a non-combat posting away from the battlefields. Jewish Noah, slight of build, is a sensitive man and all alone in the world before meeting Michael, which make him a seemingly easy target for those who are against him in any way. On the personal side, Christian, while posted in France, and a Frenchwoman named Françoise, fall in love despite she despises him being one of the Nazi aggressors. He also embarks on a sexual tryst with Gretchen Hardenberg, the wife of his commanding officer, the marriage a cold one which has made both husband and wife cold people. Noah marries the former Hope Plowman, a gentile, just prior to being shipped overseas. Their marriage was one, solely on the surface, that was met with disapproval by her provincial father, who had never met a Jew before Noah. And Michael's girlfriend, socialite Margaret Freemantle, who is working in the USO, wanted to get married before his deployment like Noah and Hope did. Although Margaret doesn't want to see Michael get hurt, she also wants him to take responsibility for doing his meaningful part for the American war effort, especially as she had seen and despised Nazism when she was in Bavaria on vacation prior to the war. The war itself changes Christian, Noah and Michael in different ways, the former two whose biggest literal and figurative battles may be with forces on their supposed sides.
