Quote:
Domineering Harriet Craig holds more regard for her home and its possessions than she does for any person in her life. Among those she treats like household objects are her kind husband Walter, whom she has lied to about her inability to have children; her cousin Claire, whom she treats like a secretary; and her servants whom she treats like slaves.

Earth’s civilization of the future sends a cyborg back to the 1960s to change the future.

Quote:
Garth A7 (Michael Rennie), a cyborg from the future world of 2087, travels back in time to 1966 to prevent Professor Sigmund Marx (Eduard Franz) from revealing his new discovery, an idea that will make mind control possible and create a tyranny in Garth’s time. He is pursued by two “Tracers” (also cyborgs) out to stop him.

Garth enlists the help of Dr. Sharon Mason (Karen Steele), Marx’s assistant. He gets her to summon her friend, medical doctor Zeller (Warren Stevens) to operate on him to remove a homing device used by the Tracers to track him. The local sheriff (Wendell Corey) also becomes involved.

Garth defeats the Tracers and convinces Professor Marx to keep his discovery secret. Then, with his future wiped out as a result, Garth ceases to exist; the people who helped him do not even remember him.

Quote:
Nothing like a love triangle to spice up Christmas, right? Don Hartman’s Holiday Affair delivers that and…well, not much else, but it’s still an enjoyable romantic comedy that’s fallen well under the radar during the last 70 years. At the center or if all is young widow Connie Ennis (Janet Leigh); she lives with her precocious son Timmy (Gordon Gebert), works as a comparison shopper, and has been dating lawyer Carl Davis (Wendell Corey) for two years. After a mistake almost costs Connie her job, she’s saved by clerk Steve Mason (Robert Mitchum)… that is, until he’s promptly fired for not calling her out. Nonetheless, their resulting afternoon is spent together and she takes a liking to the smooth- talking war veteran, who also leaves quite an impression on little Timmy. Carl, of course, is skeptical.

The fallout from their brief encounter leads to all sorts of polite but simmering comments from Carl. He proposes marriage to Connie and she finally accepts, with both actions clearly stemming from Steve’s entrance: he’s got to claim his territory, and she feels guilty for flirting with another man. Steve doesn’t give up; instead, he delivers an expensive Christmas gift for Tommy — a train set the young boy has wanted for months — which seems innocent enough, but Carl takes it as another way to buy their affection. The difference is that unlike her well-to-do fiancée, Connie’s mystery man barely has enough money to eat. She’s now torn between the aloof kindness of Steve’s gesture, the more stable but rigid prospect of domestic life with Carl, and her son, who needs her now more than ever.
It’s a dependable recipe for soapy drama — at least more than expected for a film categorized as a romantic comedy — and on that front, Holiday Affair delivers the goods. This is largely due to strong and well-cast characters: everyone is perfectly suited to their role, and even young Gordon Gebert steals many a scene as young Timmy. Several stand-alone moments also leave quite an impression, none more so than the painfully awkward Christmas dinner where Steve lays his feelings bare in front of the entire Ennis family… even the parents of Connie’s late husband. Yet the film’s much more scattered second half spins its wheels an awful lot, with more than a few late encounters stemming from fragile coincidences and silly or mawkish fare that wouldn’t feel out of place in a wooden Hallmark drama. Holiday Affair rallies in the home stretch for a decent send-off but, as a whole, it feels more like a loose collection of good-to-great scenes stitched together by a meager plot that struggles to maintain momentum even at just 87 minutes.

From one perspective, Holiday Affair is obviously an attempt to recapture the magic of then-recent Mitchum hits like Rachel and the Stranger (also featuring a love triangle) and, of course, 1947’s smoldering Out of the Past. And while it doesn’t quite have the impact or staying power of either of those films, Holiday Affair is still worth (re)discovering on Warner Archive’s new Blu-ray, which serves up yet another top-level 1080p transfer, lossless audio, and a few light but appreciated extras. If nothing else, it’s a solid second-team pick for your Christmas movie rotation.

Quote:
Boozy assistant DA Cleve Marshall (Wendell Corey) reels from a stifling marriage into an affair with the mysterious Thelma Jordon (Barbara Stanwyck). He’s so smitten, and besotted, he misses the warning signs: Thelma has a sickly aunt loaded with dough and spends lots of time in the arms of shadowy and sinister Tony Laredo (Richard Rober). Something bad is bound to happen … and when it does Cleve winds up working both sides of the law. Noir master Siodmak does a spellbinding job with a terrific script, and Stanwyck—Queen of Noir—offers a terrific, two-faced turn in one of her most rarely screened films.

Synopsis
Susy and Angela, two unprejudiced Milanese girls, meet by chance in a “toilet”, where a distracted bourgeois lady has just forgotten a two million ring; together they take and try to sell it. For this purpose they rely on a young taxi driver, Vito, of southern origin. He first leads them to a receiver, who they find dead; and then, in the house of a transvestite, where a jeweler buys the ring at a fraudulent price. But, after leaving the house, they realize that the money has disappeared. Then all three come across with Marta and Davide, a rich vicious couple that involve them in erotic games. They follow and Vito follows the trends for a while. At dawn, after a momentary quarrel, Susy and Angela separate. Angela spends a disappointing night with Piero, another boy they met in the elegant villa of the spouses, while Susy went to the station to leave Milan. In the morning the two meet again, confessing each other that it was Angela who took the money that seemed gone, while Susy had managed to steal the ring back from the jeweler.(imdb.com)

Synopsis:
In this light drama, Clark Gable once again played his stock-in-trade role of a rogue with a heart of gold. Charlie King (Gable) runs a casino, but, in a business that thrives among the unscrupulous, Charlie takes pride in running an honest game and treating his customers with fairness and respect. However, Charlie’s wife Lon (Alexis Smith) doesn’t care if he runs a fair game — she regards gambling as a dirty and corrupt business, and no matter how honest Charlie may be, he’s still involved in a wicked activity. Charlie’s son Paul (Darryl Hickman) is also against him; when Paul gets in trouble and Charlie bails him out of jail, he refuses to leave with him, instead going home with mother. Charlie invites Paul to see what his casino is like, and Lon agrees that Paul should know just what his father does.
