Calendar Girl -- At the turn of the 19th century at Miss Rich's boarding house, many young artists and performers have a temporary home while they try to achieve stardom in New York. Patricia O'Neil (Frazee) becomes involved in a romantic triangle after the wealthy artist next door Steve (Ellison) asks her to be his next model, which doesn't sit well with Patricia's current boyfriend, Byron (Baker), an aspiring composer. The stories of the other fascinating residents of the boarding house are included as interesting sub-plots, along with several wonderful musical numbers. A much better than average low budget musical.

A clever, self-parodic version of the Aladdin tales has Aladdin (Cornel Wilde) trying to win the heart of Adele Jergens (Princess Armina). Nothing goes right for him until he discovers the magic lamp that houses the genie (Evelyn Keyes). She, in turn, falls for her new master and successfully thwarts his would-be royal romance.

This is the warm-hearted story of a wholesome Terry Moore, whose late uncle Willie (Jackie Gleason) is reincarnated as a thoroughbred horse. At least, as far as Ms. Moore is concerned, he is. The horse's name is October. Moore is tried for insanity, then becomes the subject of a book by a top psychologist (Glenn Ford), who falls in love with his subject.
