Dr Jones
In this fascinating adventure of the England of the 1750s, the huge Frenchman Black Jack (Jean Franval) miraculously survives a hanging by the British authorities in Yorkshire and escapes from the grim jaws of "justice." He takes to the countryside in the company of Tolly, a teenaged boy who is able to translate Black Jack's odd speech into something comprehensible. They join up with Belle, an aristocratic teenager who has escaped from the madhouse her family imprisoned her in when she grew troublesome. Together, the three join a carnival. However, as it becomes clear that the girl is far from crazy, love between Tolly and Belle grows. This story, set in the mid-18th century, is based on a novel by Leon Garfield.

A.R.P. Warden
Это длинный и правдивый рассказ об океане и двух кораблях. Этот рассказ описывает долгое и яростное сражение. Здесь пойдет речь о двух кораблях потому, что один был потоплен и его пришлось заменить другим. Здесь пойдет речь о двухстах пятидесяти моряках. И наконец, самое главное - это правдивый рассказ. Место действия - океан, Северная Атлантика. Карта поведает вам, как он выглядит, но не откроет, что с ним могут сделать люди и что сам он может сделать с людьми... Сначала о корабле. Первом из двух. О том, который обречен. Это корвет. Новый тип конвойных кораблей. Опытный образец, созданный для того, чтобы хоть как-то встретить отчаянную ситуацию, возникшую на горизонте. Время действия - ноябрь 1939 года. Название корабля - Его Королевского Величества корвет «Компас Роуз». И, наконец, о людях. Некоторые, как и сам этот прекрасный корабль, обречены.

As in the actual incident upon which this film is based, the rescue is nip and tuck and times, but eventually successful.
