Pier 23
Prof. Shicker
Pier 23 was one of three hour-long mysteries produced by Lippert Productions for both TV and theatrical release. Each of the three films was evenly divided into two half-hour "episodes," and each starred Hugh Beaumont as San Francisco-based amateur sleuth Dennis O'Brien. In Pier 23, O'Brien first tackles the case of a wrestler who has died of a suspicious heart attack after refusing to lose a match. He then agrees to help a priest talk an escaped criminal into returning to prison. The film's two-part structure leads to repetition and predictability, but it's fun to watch TV's "Ward Cleaver" making like Philip Marlowe.

Военно-воздушные силы
Marine Sgt. J.J. Callahan
Это один из лучших американских пропагандистских фильмов, созданных во время Второй мировой войны, как нельзя лучше подошел для режиссера Хауарда Хоукса, добившегося совершенства в постановке масштабных боевых действий. Хоукс рассказывает историю «Мэри Энн», бомбардировщика В-17, и его экипажа. Завораживающая режиссура Хоукса и уверенная, эмоциональная работа всех актеров, особенно Гарфилда и Кэри, полностью захватывают внимание зрителя. Сейчас, к сожалению, картина начинает устаревать, но сценарий Николса достаточно силен, а диалоги наполнены смыслом и достоверны. Для съемок использовалась настоящая «Летающая крепость», позже упавшая в Тихий океан и утерянная, а интерьерные съемки велись в модели стоимостью 40 тыс. долларов. Хоукс сам был ветераном военно-воздушных сил, его собственный опыт и уважение к военной авиации очевидны в каждой сцене. Эта черно-белая лента будет настоящим подарком для видеоманов, помешанных на военной тематике.
