While silent-film star Charlie Chaplin may have charmed American audiences with the onscreen antics of his lovable "Tramp" character, the actor's private life was marred by a series of public scandals that eventually pushed him into exile. In addition to his penchant for much younger women, Chaplin was unjustly hounded by Senator Joe McCarthy's notorious anti-Communist witch hunts, for which the U.S. revoked his visa in 1952. A bitter and disenchanted Chaplin responded by moving his family to Switzerland, where he remained until his death in 1977. This documentary chronicles Chaplin's life and career during those so-called "forgotten years" (during which he became a prolific and highly respected film-score composer) through previously unreleased archival footage and intimate interviews with his friends and family, including his children Geraldine, Michael, and Eugene.

1691, Salem. Algumas garotas iniciaram um período de terror enorme quando disseram que padeciam de sofrimentos demoníacos. A comunidade assustada acreditou na explicação das meninas, que diziam que foram "possuídas" por bruxas que viviam dentro na comunidade puritana. O reverendo Samuel Parris (Henry Czerny) e outros líderes comunitários começam uma inumana caça às bruxas. Logo ninguém estava livre de suspeitas, mas só mulheres do povoado foram acusadas. Ann Putnam (Kirstie Alley), seguiu os passos da sua filha, Annie (Katie Boland), que aparentemente foi tomada por visões estranhas e publicamente acusou de bruxaria uns vizinhos. Rebecca Nurse (Shirley MacLaine), uma religiosa fervorosa e uma amável anciã da comunidade, é um das mulheres que foi vítima das acusações de Ann. Entretanto Rebecca não foi a primeira nem seria a última deste tribunal, que agora também condenava homens para serem enforcados, pelo simples fato de terem se oposto aos métodos usados para apurar a 'verdade'.

Although it specifically targets A Room with a View, Chariots of Fire, Maurice, A Passage to India, and many other films, in a more general way Stiff Upper Lips satirises popular perceptions of certain Edwardian traits: propriety, sexual repression, xenophobia, and class snobbery.

The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers payed up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J. ABC is reputed to have paid more than $5 million for the television rights.
Hercule Poirot
Quem poderia ter estrangulado a famosa estrela da Broadway, enquanto ela despreocupadamente descansava nas areias de uma praia localizada em exclusiva ilha no Mediterrâneo? Conhecendo-se Agatha Christie, a resposta só pode ser... Todos!! Esta é a quarta, e provavelmente a melhor, produção de Brabourne/Goodwin, que começou com "Assassinato no Expresso Oriente" (1974), baseada em história da Rainha do Crime. Hercule Poirot tem, então, mais um caso a resolver. Um excelente elenco participa deste filme, James Mason e Sylvia Miles, como dois produtores da Broadway que a vítima humilharia, Roddy McDowall como um colunista social que vê em uma biografia da explosiva artista a sua tímida e ciumenta esposa. Além, é claro , de Peter Ustinov como o grande Hercule Poirot. A música de Cole Porter completa o pedigree deste filme que não só é um excelente filme de suspense como também um bom exemplo de como manter o clima de mistério sem apelar para a violência excessiva.

Após três anos em campanha, o general Marcus Vinicius (Robert Taylor) retorna à Roma e encontra Lygia (Deborah Kerr), por quem se apaixona. Ela é uma cristã e não quer nenhum envolvimento com um guerreiro. Mas, apesar de ter sido criada como romana, Lygia é a filha adotiva de um general aposentado e, teoricamente, uma refém de Roma. Marcus procura o imperador Nero (Peter Ustinov), para que ela lhe seja dada pelos serviços que ele fez. Lygia se ressente, mas de alguma forma se apaixona por Marcus. Enquanto isso, as atrocidades de Nero são cada vez mais ultrajantes e, quando ele queima Roma e culpa os cristãos, Marcus salva Lygia e a família dela. Nero captura todos os cristãos e os atira aos leões mas, no final, Marcus, Lygia e o cristianismo prevalecerão. Na filmagem da obra de Sienkiewicz, foram utilizados cerca de 32 mil figurinos e milhares de figurantes, dentre eles então os 'desconhecidos' Bud Spencer, Sophia Loren (então com 17 anos) e Elizabeth Taylor.

Esta é a história de uma dessas tripulações de bombardeio que foram abatidos e os valentes patriotas holandeses que os ajudaram a voltar para casa. (e 14 - Estimado 14 Anos)

Narrator
Seven years after the sport came under the control of FOCA, Formula 1 was more intercontinental than ever and the coverage was increasingly benefiting from the latest recording technologies. From a standing start in Brazil, through 16 races, 4 continents and a flying finish in Adelaide, the 1987 season provided non-stop entertainment with spectacular racing - all supported by on-board and pit-lane footage, technical insights and characterful interviews. Williams-Honda teammates Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet fought it out all season long whilst checking for Ayrton Senna’s Lotus and the McLaren of Alain Prost in their rearview mirrors. Mansell should have had it with 6 wins to Piquet’s three, but a crash in Japan settled the title in the Brazilian’s favour. Narrated by Academy-Award-winning actor Peter Ustinov.
