Ask any American worth their salt what they know about William Henry Harrison, and they'll probably say, "Well, I think he was that president who died only a month into office."

The Triumph of William Henry Harrison is the story of our ninth president, but it is also the story of Amanda Delacourt.

The Desert of Forbidden Art
Voice
How does art survive in a time of oppression? During the Soviet rule artists who stay true to their vision are executed, sent to mental hospitals or Gulags. Their plight inspires young Igor Savitsky. He pretends to buy state-approved art but instead daringly rescues 40,000 forbidden fellow artist's works and creates a museum in the desert of Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Though a penniless artist himself, he cajoles the cash to pay for the art from the same authorities who are banning it. Savitsky amasses an eclectic mix of Russian Avant-Garde art. But his greatest discovery is an unknown school of artists who settle in Uzbekistan after the Russian revolution of 1917, encountering a unique Islamic culture, as exotic to them as Tahiti was for Gauguin. They develop a startlingly original style, fusing European modernism with centuries-old Eastern traditions.

Сэм Кейд стал первым полнометражным фильмом, снятым в эпизодах "из округа Кейд", в начале 70-х годов в главной роли с Гленном Фордом в качестве современного шерифа в Мадриде, Калифорния. В первом тайме, направленном Марвином Хомски, Кейд оказывается нацеленным на убийство, когда он планирует засвидетельствовать в суде над бандитом-толпой, - то, что он не знает, состоит в том, что убийца - один из его самых старых друзей (Даррен МакГавин) , который с беспокойством вспоминает другого старого друга (Лоретту Свит) и использует определение Кейда и свои навыки расследования, чтобы поднять его на удар. Во втором тайме, направленном Ричардом Доннером, Кейд получает подсказку о том, что толпа спланировала убийство в отставном преступном боссе (Эдуарде Аснере), проживающем в графстве, который так бычлен и недоверчив закону, принимать любую помощь или предоставлять какую-либо информацию о том, кто может быть убийцей, даже если он подвергает свою дочь (Шелли Фаварес) риску.
