História
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Benton Reid (August 14, 1893 – March 16, 1973) was an American actor. He achieved fame on the Broadway stage in 1939 as Oscar Hubbard, one of Regina Giddens's (Tallulah Bankhead) greedy, devious brothers in the play The Little Foxes, and made his film debut reprising his role opposite Bette Davis in the 1941 film version. He also appeared in several Shakespeare plays on Broadway, and in the original production of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh, as Harry Slade.
His stern, cold demeanor quickly stereotyped him in villainous, and/or unpleasant characters, although he could play a sympathetic role, as he did occasionally in such films as the 1957 TV-movie version of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Here he played the Mayor of Hamelout, who unsuccessfully requests help from the Mayor of Hamelin (Claude Rains), when Hamelout is the victim of a flood. The flood leads to the famous plague of rats which invade Hamelin, and set the main plot in motion. He played the American Admiral, who is leading the peace talks between the Americans and Chinese during the Korean War in MGM's Pork Chop Hill. Reid made four guest appearances on Perry Mason during the show's nine-year run between 1957-66. His last two roles came in 1966; as the judge in the film version of Madame X and as Claude Townsend in the TV series The F.B.I.

Surpreendentemente, ela é acusada em seu julgamento por assassinato por seu filho agora adulto, que é um defensor público. Na esperança de continuar a proteger seu filho, ela se recusa a dar seu nome verdadeiro e é conhecida na corte como a ré "Madame X".
An intelligent, articulate scholar, Harrison MacWhite, survives a hostile Senate confirmation hearing at the hands of conservatives to become ambassador to Sarkan, a southeast Asian country where civil war threatens a tense peace. Despite his knowledge, once he's there, MacWhite sees only a dichotomy between the U.S. and Communism. He can't accept that anti-American sentiment might be a longing for self-determination and nationalism. So, he breaks from his friend Deong, a local opposition leader, ignores a foreman's advice about slowing the building of a road, and tries to muscle ahead. What price must the country and his friends pay for him to get some sense?

Traça vagamente a vida do tenor Enrico Caruso (1873-1921). Ele ama Musetta, em sua cidade natal, Nápoles, e depois Dorothy, filha de um dos patronos do Metropolitan Opera. Caruso é inaceitável para os pais de ambas as mulheres: para uma, porque canta; para Dorothy, porque ele é um camponês. Para os patrícios de Nova York, Caruso é baixo, peito largo, barulhento, emotivo, não refinado. Sua apreciação vem lentamente. O filme retrata o lamento de Caruso de que "o homem não tem voz, a voz tem o homem": ele não pode estar nos lugares que quer, porque deve estar em outro lugar cantando, inclusive no dia da morte de sua mãe. Ao longo do filme, Mario Lanza e estrelas do Met cantam, inclusive com o 'menino' Luciano Pavarotti.
