Mr. Ricco
Katherine Fremont
Accused murderer Frankie Steele walks free, thanks to the efforts of San Francisco defense lawyer Joe Ricco. Then a pair of cop killings strikes the city. All signs point to the newly released Steele as the perpetrator. Has Ricco sprung a killer? Dean Martin keeps his affable ease but abandons his hipster Matt Helm-series swagger to portray Ricco in his final leading-role film, a whodunit mystery set in the city that also was the gritty center of action for the era’s Bullitt and Dirty Harry. Convinced that Steele isn’t behind the murders, Ricco launches an inquiry and runs up against a police lieutenant assigned to birddog him, evidence planted by a racist cop and several assassination attempts on Ricco himself. As the mystery deepens, so does the danger. And behind it all is someone the attorney never suspected. The pre-Laverne & Shirley Cindy Williams plays Ricco’s office assistant.
Chumbo Quente
Georgia Price
Estamos na época do desbravamento do Oeste, dos grandes rebanhos de gado que cortam cidades, dos homens armados dispostos a matar para se defender ou pelo simples prazer de matar! Ben Justin (Charles Bronson) é um desses rancheiros: amargurado, temperamental e desconfiado. Vive em confronto com seus vizinhos que fazem parte de uma associação liderada por homens poderosos. Mas, ele está preparado para lutar e defender sua família. Em sua fazenda, o ódio e a vontade de vencer povoam sua mente a todo instante. Tiros, pancadaria, traições, ambição e muito arame farpado fazem deste filme um dos mais explosivos do gênero.

Unable to gain reinstatement as chief of detectives, Ironside gets permission to continue investigating criminal cases as a citizen volunteer. With the assistance of two former protegees, Det. Sgt. Ed Brown and Officer Eve Whitfield, and a newly-hired aide/driver, Mark Sanger, Ironside sets out to solve his first case as a civilian by finding the people responsible for the attempt on his life.
