As he's observing other voyagers aboard a German passenger freighter bound for Bremerhaven in 1933, a puckish dwarf named Glocken (Michael Dunn) warns that it is 'a ship of fools,' whose passengers are all deeply involved with one folly or another. As Virginia divorcee Mary Treadwell (Vivien Leigh) vainly flees middle age, the drug-dependent Spanish noblewoman, La Condesa (Simone Signoret) and the ship's doctor, Schumann (Oskar Werner) are falling in love. Unmarried young Americans Jenny and David (Elizabeth Ashley and George Segal) risk staying in separate cabins to see if they have a life beyond sex, while the Jewish Lowenthal (Heinz Ruehmann) is returning to Germany, a country which he still strongly believes in despite 'extremists' like his cabin-mate, Rieber (Jose Ferrer), an anti-Semitic publisher. With a wife at home, Rieber is carrying on a shipboard romance with the Brunhildean Lizzi Spockenkieker (Barbara Luna). A baseball player who's past his prime, Bill Denny (Lee Marvin) is pursuing one of the Spanish dancers, while Elsa (Olga Fabian), a young Swiss girl, awaits only a spark to incite her to rebellion against her puritanical parents. One by one, their problems unfold during the voyage. Yet, upon disembarking, each goes their own way, leaving the bemused Glocken behind.

The word 'Frankenstein' has come to mean 'monsters of our own creation' but more generally, monsters beyond our control. 'Frankenstein' symbolizes a Faustian bargain made by man with his own technology. The '50's Sci-Fi classic, Forbidden Planet, echoed Shakespeare's The Tempest which, likewise, dealt with a related theme. The world is now threatened with several forms of extinction: a slower demise from the disregard with which we have treated our environment, and the quick but not painless end from nuclear annihilation. Both monsters threaten to destroy us utterly. Both are our own creations. Both are the by-products of the Faustian bargain mankind has made with the universe. Both are 'Frankensteins' of our creation. Since Mary Shelley published her story, Frankenstein's monster has usurped the name Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein, of course, had been a 'precocious student of natural philosophy from Geneva, where Mary Shelley was living with two gifted poets, her husband, Percy, and George Gordon, Lord Byron, the poet who wrote 'The Prisoner of Chillion'. It was at this time that the strange Gothic tale was given life. The subtitle, 'The Modern Prometheus,' suggests a the three-fold tale in which the author makes the analogy between young Frankenstein's desire for scientific recognition and the Christian tale of Satan's fall from grace.

Adaptation of Clare Boothe Luce's play of the same name, first made famous by director George Cukor's iconic 1939 film. Set in New York City's modern whirl of fashion and publishing, The Women tells the story of Mary Haines (Meg Ryan), a clothing designer who seems to have it all - a beautiful country home, a rich financier husband, an adorable 11-year-old daughter and a part-time career creating designs for her father's venerable clothing company. Her best friend, Sylvie Fowler (Annette Bening), leads another enviable life - a happily single editor of a prominent fashion magazine, a possessor of a huge closet of designer clothes and a revered arbiter of taste and style poised on New York's cutting edge. But when Mary's husband enters into an affair with Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes), a sultry 'spritzer girl' lurking behind the Saks Fifth Avenue perfume counter, all hell breaks loose. Mary and Sylvie's relationship is tested to the breaking point while their tight-knit circle of friends, including mega-mommy Edie Cohen (Debra Messing) and author Alex Fisher (Jada Pinkett-Smith), all start to question their own friendships and romantic relationships as well.
