Family Secret -- Phyliss McGee was a wicked woman when she was alive, but now that she's dead, she is far worse.

The lives of the people of a Ukrainian farming collective are shattered by the invasion of the Germans during WWII. The occupying forces take food, property and people for the war. What to do about it is a critical and fateful decision.

James Cagney stars as war hero Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey in this classic directed by Robert Montgomery. On the verge of retirement, Halsey recalls his most fateful wartime experience: his five-week showdown between himself and Japanese Admiral Yamamoto in 1942. In command of the American naval forces in the Pacific, Halsey scores a crucial, tide-turning victory at Guadalcanal. In concentrating on the participants rather than the battle itself, The Gallant Hours is a character study of a remarkable American.

China, 1947. In a remote province on a violently stormy night, a man in priestly robes - and carrying a gun - stumbles into a Catholic mission, where he is welcomed as "Father O'Shea" by Dr. David Sigman and his wife, Beryl. But the priest is actually Jim Carmody, an American pilot who crash-landed in China during WWII and has been a prisoner of General Yang for several years in his Communist re-education camp. He has just escaped, wearing the robes of the real Father O'Shea, who was murdered in the camp. Carmody quickly finds that he's in a new kind of prison, and since he has been assumed to be the priest, the cynical military man must act like one, and not let the facade slip. The act begins to transform him. He hears confessions never meant for his ears. He absolves people, performs marriages and baptisms and buries the dead. He is, in spirit, becoming a holy man, upholding vows he never even took.  But he is still a man, and finds himself falling in love with the mission's nurse, Anne Scott. Any
