In this farcical look at Americans abroad, vacationing Samantha Perkins (Suzanne Pleshette) finds herself wooed by tour guide Charlie Cartwright (Ian McShane). As the busload of travelers rushes through nine countries in 18 days, Samantha ponders whether Charlie's her Mr. Right. The film's numerous cameos include John Cassavetes, Robert Vaughn, Joan Collins, Ben Gazzara, Donovan, Vittorio De Sica and Anita Ekberg.

This fanciful comedy stars Shirley MacLaine as Harriet Blossom, the neglected wife of brassiere manufacturer Robert (Richard Attenborough), whose passion in life is music.

A novice teacher faces a class of rowdy, undisciplined working-class punks in this classic film that reflected some of the problems and fears of teens in the 60s. Sidney Poitier gives one of his finest performances as Mark Thackeray, an out-of-work engineer who turns to teaching in London's tough East End. The graduating class, led by Denham (Christian Roberts), Pamela (Judy Geeson) and Barbara (Lulu, who also sings the hit title song), sets out to destroy Thackeray as they did his predecessor by breaking his spirit. But Thackeray, no stranger to hostility, meets the challenge by treating thestudents as young adults who will soon enter a work force where they must stand or fall on their own. When offered an engineering job, Thackeray must decide if he wants to stay.
