Как и Марджори, Ноэль принадлежит к крупному буржуазному классу нью-йоркских евреев, однако он был разорён, вследствие чего, родители девушки возражают против их отношений. Ноэль честно предупреждает Марджори, что она слишком наивна и заблуждается в нём, но ни это, ни категоричный протест родителей не мешают влюблённым быть вместе. Их отношения развиваются непросто. Они то сходятся, то расходятся. Вскоре, Марджори заканчивает своё обучение в колледже, и начинает заниматься актёрской карьерой, в то время как Ноэль заканчивает писать мюзикл, работу над которым начал ещё до встречи с Марджори.

К востоку от рая
Assistant Director
Эта картина по праву считается классикой Голливуда и главным фильмом Джеймса Дина — блестящего актера, бунтаря и знаменитости своего времени. Его, еще до окончания съемок, уже прозвали вторым Брандо. «К востоку от рая» — экранизация знаменитого романа Стейнбека, романа о семейной драме юноши, который ревнует и страдает, видя как его отец отдает незаслуженное предпочтение другому своему сыну — любимцу. И чем сильнее его отчаяние, чем оно безнадежней, — тем сильнее желание обрести забытую родительскую любовь.

Captain Thunder
Juan
A notorious Mexican bandit goes all soft and mushy when he falls for a beautiful senorita. Warner Bros.' Captain Thunder contains some of the darndest Mexican accents you've ever heard in your life. The star is Hungarian-born Victor Varconi, portraying a legendary south of the border outlaw who tries to force Canadian senorita Fay Wray to marry a rival rustler whom she despises. She pleads with the bandito so pathetically that he is moved to grant her a single wish. Without hesitation she chooses her poor but true love.

This first cinematic version of the classic book is a part-talkie, although the only surviving print is silent (housed in the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY). It is a straight-forward telling of the intermingled lives of a group of strangers doomed to die in a collapsing bridge accident. The Art Direction, paltry and unremarkable, surprisingly won an Oscar over the far more remarkable work nominated in THE IRON MASK. The special effect scene of the lovers plummeting with the bridge into the chasm is unforgettable and remarkably done.
