Herbert Heyes

He dazzled America for decades with his musical artistry. Now fans as well as those curious about this exciting entertainer’s unique appeal can relive the Liberace magic in his only starring film, Sincerely Yours. In a poignant story scripted by Irving Wallace, Liberace plays a concert pianist threatened by deafness. Plunged into despair, he finds escape from personal sorrow by secretly involving himself in the problems of strangers. Liberace touches the heart and delights the ear with sparkling renditions of 31 selections from Chopin to Chopsticks. Along the way he romances Joanne Dru and Dorothy Malone, trades barbs with old pro William Demarest and in a warmly humorous nightclub scene, pokes fun at his own image as the 1950s matinee idol of the little-old-lady set. From beginning to end, Sincerely Yours perfectly captures the charisma and sheer musicality of the legendary Mr. Showmanship.

Это романтическое изложение знаменитой экспедиции Льюиса и Кларка 1803-06 годов с участием Фреда МакМюррэя в роли Меривезера Льюиса и Чарлтона Хестона в роли Билла Кларка. В фильме не делается акцент на вражде между двумя героями (что было на самом деле), хотя очевиден антагонизм между мозгом экспедиции, Льюисом, и ее кулаками, Кларком. Им помогает в экспедиции индейская девушка Сакаджавея, чью роль с неприкрытым вызовом сыграла Донна Рид. Так как межрасовые романтические отношения все еще оставались табу для американских фильмов начала 50-х, Сакаджавея могла только чахнуть и вздыхать, в то время как Льюис и Кларк отбивались от внимания белой женщины Джулии Хэнкок (Барбара Хэйл).
