"Wild" Bill Elliott is a cowboy who goes in search of the man who killed his brother, and finds himself in the small town of Bitter Creek.

Echoes of "Gone With The Wind" are heard in this lavish all-star production, particularly in the performance of Clark Gable and the lush melodies of Max Steiner (who wrote the score for GWTW). Noted director Raoul Walsh ("White Heat," "High Sierra") captures the epic sweep of the novel by Robert Penn Warren ("All the King's Men") and tells a dramatic tale of the Civil War South, as love and war collide. Sidney Poiter stars as an educated slave.

In this fast-paced Western, former gunslinger Bart Jones (Scott Brady) finds himself in the middle of a range war when he's called on to protect a group of small-time ranchers against cattle baron Maj. Bonnard (Roy Engel) and his hired muscle. But complications develop when Jones falls for widow Tay Rorick (Mala Powers) -- whose husband Jones killed in a gunfight. Bill Williams co-stars as the well-meaning sheriff.

When his younger brother (Robert Wagner) announces his intentions to scale a treacherous mountain slope to reach the site of a recent plane crash, a retired guide (Spencer Tracy) reluctantly agrees to go with him. But his brother's intentions turn out to be shockingly selfish. The bonds of family loyalty are tested against the raw pull of humanity when the pair finds a lone survivor (Anna Kashfi) who needs their help.

After an unfullfilling life in farming, Tracy Powell (Wayne) leaves his wife Julie (Henderson) and newborn son to strike it rich in the gold rush of '49 in California. However, Tracy finds six years of failure, picking a plot of desert to mine gold and incurring the wrath of local dictator Willis Haver (Backus). This ends in an exciting and violent final confrontation, in which Powell barely survives to return home, but soon leaves again to pursue his obsession. This pattern continues for years, until he returns home for good a poor, broken man in his 60's. Despite his treatment of his wife and now grown son, they take him back with open arms. Wonderful film with Wayne in a rare leading role, and Backus in an usual villainous role.

Leslie Nielsen stars as Police Squad's own granite-jawed, rock-brained cop Frank Drebin, who bumbles across a mind-control scheme to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. Priscilla Presley, O.J. Simpson, a stuffed beaver, two baseball teams and an odd assortment of others join the wacko goings-on and blow the laugh-o-meter to smithereens.
