First Man Into Space -- In this interstellar cautionary tale, brash U.S. Navy test pilot Dan Prescott, hungry for fame, rockets himself beyond Earth's atmosphere, only to become encrusted with cosmic dust and return a blood-drinking monster.

The Mouse That Roared -- In this clever satire featuring Peter Sellers in many roles, a tiny country declares war on the United States and wins.

In this outlandish, sidesplitting tale of the fortunes of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, a mythical land on the verge of bankruptcy because its one export, a fine wine, has been undercut by a US company. Grand Fenwick's prime minister (Peter Sellers) and female monarch (Sellers again) cook up a scheme to solve the problem: they will declare war on the States.

Teeming with satire, this sequel to The Mouse That Roared finds Grand Fenwick's premier (Ron Moody) in need of funds to overhaul his castle. Knowing no country will contribute to such a cause, he persuades America to donate to his nation's phony space program. Not to be outdone, the Soviets contribute a used rocket -- but all bets are off when the duchy's lone scientist puts together a missile and prepares for a moon launch.
