In a motion picture designed to save the world from sanity, the legendary four-time Academy Award-winner Katharine Hepburn ("Love Affair," "On Golden Pond," "The Philadelphia Story") stars as an aged eccentric countess who enlists the aid of three cronies in perpetrating a zany plot to defeat the dehumanizing establishment and rid the world of evil. Co-starring Richard Chamberlain ("The Thorn Birds," "Shogun") and Yul Brynner ("The King and I").

A "countess" is warned of a plot by a group of villains to seize the oil reserves bubbling under the water supply of Paris. Locking the villains in her cellar, the countess holds a trial to judge the villains' crimes against the people of Paris.

This delightful comedy stars Dick Van Dyke as Fitzwilly, a good-hearted butler who organizes a petty crime ring to keep his daffy employer, Victoria Woodhouse (Edith Evans), from discovering that despite her propensity for philanthropy, she's dead broke. Aided by fellow servants, Fitzwilly concocts an ingenious scheme to rob Gimbel's and finance Miss Vickie's charities, but his larceny may be detected by her secretary, Juliet (Barbara Feldon).

This powerful biographical drama was the top-grossing film the year it was released, garnered eight Oscar nominations, and boasts one of the greatest performances by the legendary Audrey Hepburn. A young woman enters the convent and cares for the indigent in the Belgian Congo, but as World War II breaks out, her free spirit and hatred for the enemy make her question her calling to God. Co-starring Academy Award-winner Peter Finch ("Network") and Emmy-winner Colleen Dewhurst ("Murphy Brown"), in a performance Leonard Maltin calls "electrifying".
