Testemunha de Acusação
Judge
Quando Leonard Vole (Tyrone Power) é preso sob a acusação de ter assassinado uma rica viúva de meia-idade, Sir Wilfrid Robarts (Charles Laughton), um veterano e astuto advogado, concorda em defendê-lo. Sir Wilfrid está se recuperando de um ataque do coração quase fatal e "supostamente" está em uma dieta, que o proíbe de ingerir bebidas alcoólicas e de se envolver em casos complicados. Mas a atração pelas cortes criminais é algo muito forte para ele, especialmente quando o caso é bem difícil. O único álibi de Vole é o testemunho da sua esposa, Christine Vole (Marlene Dietrich), uma mulher fria e calculista. A tarefa de Sir Wilfrid fica praticamente impossível quando Christine Vole concorda em ser testemunha, não da defesa, mas da acusação.
Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot
George Wythe
Williamsburg: the Story of a Patriot tells the story of Virginia's role in American Independence (up to the point of voting to propose independence at the Second Continental Congress), from the point of view of John Fry (played by a young Jack Lord), a fictional Virginia planter elected to the House of Burgesses.
Mayerling
Prater Waiter
Mayerling is the name of a notorious Austrian village linked to a romantic tragedy. At a royal hunting lodge there, in 1889, Crown Prince Rudolf--desperate over his father's command to put away his teenage mistress, the Baroness Marie Vetsera--shot her to death and killed himself. The misfortune may indeed have been a murder-suicide, but perhaps it was a political assassination, or even the result of a lunatic family vendetta: scholarship is still catching up with the facts.
