История

Dennis O'Keefe (March 29, 1908 – August 31, 1968) was an American actor. He was the son of Irish vaudevillians working in the United States. As a small child he joined his parents' act and later wrote skits for the stage. O'Keefe started in films as an extra in the early 1930s. After a small but impressive role in Saratoga, Clark Gable recommended O'Keefe to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which signed him to a contract in 1937. His film roles were bigger after that, starting with The Bad Man of Brimstone and Burn 'Em Up O'Connor. O'Keefe left MGM around 1940 but continued to work in mostly lower budget productions. In the 1950s he did some directing, wrote mystery stories and by the mid-1950s found work on television shows such as Justice, The Martha Raye Show, The Ford Show as well as his own series The Dennis O'Keefe Show.

Earl Carroll Vanities
Danny Baldwin
Broadway producer Earl Carroll was a Ziegfeld-like entrepreneur who staged lavish revues featuring attractive young ladies. Carroll's annual "Vanities" provided story material for three Hollywood films: Murder at the Vanities (34), A Night at Earl Carroll's (40) and Earl Carroll Vanities (45). This last film was produced by Republic Pictures, a bread-and-butter studio specializing in Westerns and serials; Republic had made musicals before, but few of them were expensive enough to allow for lavish production numbers. Earl Carroll Vanities is likewise rather threadbare, though some of the individual musical highlights aren't bad. The plot, such as it is, concerns financially strapped nightclub owner Eve Arden, who finagles Earl Carroll into staging one of his revues at her club.

Человек-леопард
Jerry Manning
Действие картины происходит в небольшом городке в штате Нью-Мексико. Для участия в эстрадном номере приезжей танцовщицы Кики её ушлый импресарио Джерри берёт на прокат чёрного леопарда . После того, как леопард сбегает прямо во время шоу, в городке происходит серия убийств молодых девушек. Первоначально подозрение падает на сбежавшего леопарда, однако вскоре Джерри и Кики приходят к заключению, что в убийствах виновен не только и не столько леопард... Сценки фильма перетекают одна в другую, каждый раз переводя внимание на новых персонажей и исполнителей, не связанных с остальными ничем кроме места действия. Эта многочастная структура не могла быть по достоинству оценена в 40-е (критикам казалось, что композиция разваливается, и даже сам режиссёр называл фильм «набором виньеток») - однако сейчас этот ход воспринимается гораздо более свежо и новаторски, чем всё то, что мы привыкли видеть в кинокартинах тех лет.
