Películas

La angustia de vivir
Paul Unger
Desde hace años, el actor de teatro Frank Elgin (Bing Crosby) atraviesa una grave crisis debido al alcoholismo y a un gran sentimiento de culpa por la muerte de su único hijo. Su esposa (Grace Kelly) y su director de escena (William Holden) intentarán por todos los medios sacarlo del triste estado en que se encuentra, aunque no será nada fácil.
Rebel City
Capt. Ramsey
Rebel City is a "B" western with "A" aspirations. Wild Bill Elliot plays gambler Frank Graham, who heads to Kansas in search of his father's murderer. This being 1864, the local military presence is more preoccupied with keeping Southern sympathizers out of the state to worry about Graham's problems. Thus, our hero undertakes the task of exposing the killer himself. As always, the least likely suspect is the guilty party (though sharp-eyed viewers were wise to the villain from the first reel). Marjorie Lord co-stars as Jane Dudley, the comely operator of the local freight line who helps Graham in his task. Producer Thomas M. Fennelly and director Thomas Carr later collaborated on the Richard Diamond TV series.
