Behind the scenes of "The Man Who Cheated Himself" (1950)

Documentary on the making of the film, from script to noir classic, produced by Steven Smith and the Film Noir Foundation.

Portrait of film director John Ford, perhaps best known for re-inventing the Western, and generally considered one of America's greatest directors.

Jeannie has been a happily married housewife for 15 years to her astronaut husband Tony Nelson and has a teenage son, T.J. When Tony is promoted to Colonel and is about to retire from the NASA space program, Jeannie decides to give him a celebration party in their backyard. However, egged on by his colleagues to retire with a dramatic flair, Tony breaks his promise to Jeannie for one more space flight (aboard the shuttle), this time with a female astronaut, Captain Nelly Hunt.
