Fahrenheit 451 -- Ray Bradbury's bestselling masterpiece about a future without books takes on a chillingly realistic dimension in this film classic about a fireman charged with burning forbidden volumes.

Passengers on a ship traveling from Mexico to Europe in the 1930's represent society at large in that era.

A tragic, horrifying, intense drama based on real life events, about 937 German Jewish refugees who left Nazi occupied Germany, to learn that nobody wanted them. This powerful film etches in rich detail, the story of the desperate lives of 937 Jewish Germans, offered a safe haven in Havana, Cuba. They depart Hamburg in high spirits looking forward to their new life. Some were concentration camp victims, some survivors of ‘the night of shattered crystal’, others just wanted to join relatives in Cuba. Some were wealthy enough to afford their voyage, but most left everything behind in the hope they could escape the Nazi terror. The passengers are unaware that the voyage is a sham, simply one of Josef Goebbels’ propaganda exercises. The ship will not be able to dock in Havana, and when the rest of the world turns the ship away, the Jews will have to return to Germany. On June 1, 1939, just as hope had all but vanished, the passengers receive word that Belgium, Holland, France and Britain agree to accept the passengers. Come what may, the passengers resolve not to return to Hamburg, or the camps.

Based on the best-selling book by Morris L. West, this sweeping epic follows Academy Award-winner Anthony Quinn ("Zorba the Greek", "Lawrence of Arabia") as a Russian political prisoner who becomes Pope and tries to prevent an atomic war. Also starring Oscar-winners Sir Lawrence Olivier ("Wuthering Heights," "Marathon Man") and Sir John Gielgud ("Arthur," "Ghandi"), and TV's original "Fugitive," David Janssen. Received Oscar nominations for Best Original Score and Art Direction.
