Walk on the Wild Side -- Sup with the devil and you'll taste your just desserts...

One-Eyed Jacks -- Not only did Marlon Brando star in this compelling and fascinating 1961 Western, but it is also the legendary actor's only directorial effort.

When a business magnate dies, his board of directors fight over who should run the company in this enjoyable film staring Oscar-honoree and Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Barbara Stanwyck ("Double Indemnity"). Golden Globe-winner June Allyson ("The Three Musketeers," "Little Women") and Oscar-winner William Holden ("Sunset Boulevard") are among the top cast in this well-made drama. Directed by multiple Oscar-winner Robert Wise ("The Sound of Music"). Nominated for several Oscars, including Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design.

When a dangerous convict escapes from prison, he returns home to get revenge on those who locked him away: his wife (Peggy Stewart), the doctor she married (John Pickard) and the man who testified against him and sealed his fate (Herb Armstrong). It's up to local sheriff Charles Morton (James Brown) and his deputy (John Clarke) to keep the townsfolk safe. But is the West too wild for a man who respects the law?

After a successful bank robbery in Mexico, outlaw bandit Rio (Marlon Brando, who also directed) is betrayed by partner Dad Longworth (Karl Malden) and ends up serving a long prison stretch. After Rio gets sprung years later, he seeks vengeance on Longworth, who has since become a wealthy and respectable lawman. Revenge is a dish best served cold in this tense revisionist Western.
