Don Juan

1 hr 50 mins

If there was one thing Don Juan de Marana learned from his father Don Jose, it was that women gave you three things: life, disillusionment, and death. In his father's case it was his wife Donna Isobel, and Donna Elvira who supplied the latter. Don Juan settled in Rome after attending the University of Pisa. Rome was run by the tyrannical Borgia family consisting of Caesar, Lucrezia, and the Count Donati. Juan has his way with and is pursued by many women, but it is the one that he could not have that haunts him. It will be for her that he suffers the wrath of Borgia for ignoring Lucrezia, then killing Count Donati in a duel. For Adriana, they will both be condemned to death in the prison on the river Tigre.

Plot Scotland, 1751: At a stately manor near Edinburgh, the young David Balfour (Roddy McDowall)) arrives with a sealed letter from his recently deceased father for Ebenezer (Houseley Stevenson), his uncle. It is meant to be delivered to a family lawyer to introduce David as the rightful heir to the property. After slyly trying to kill his previously unknown nephew but failing, Ebenezer conspires with a sea captain, Hoseason (Roland Winters), to take the boy hostage and sell him into slavery. A prisoner aboard ship, David soon meets Alan Breck (Dan O'Herlihy), who, in need of rescue, now finds himself in danger of Hoseason stealing his gold and perhaps murdering him as well. David's quick intervention saves his life. Washed up ashore after a storm, David is hidden by an innkeeper's daughter, Aileen (Sue Englamd), then begins a long and arduous journey home. With the help of Alan, he is able to coerce a confession about the kidnapping from his uncle that is overheard by the lawyer, who now knows David to be the proper heir. Hoseason, feeling betrayed, tries to kill Ebenezer in a sword fight, resulting in the deaths of both. (from Wikipedia)

The Outrage

1 hr 36 mins

Three disparate travelers, a disillusioned preacher, an unsuccessful prospector, and a larcenous, cynical con man, meet at a decrepit railroad station in the 1870s Southwest. The prospector and the preacher were witnesses at the singularly memorable rape and murder trial of the notorious Mexican outlaw Carasco. The bandit duped an aristocratic Southerner into believing he knew the location of a lost Aztec treasure. The greedy "gentleman" allows himself to be tied up while Carasco rapes his wife. These events lead to the stabbing of the husband and are related by the three eyewitnesses to the atrocity: the infamous bandit, the newlywed wife, and the dead man through an Indian shaman. Whose version of the events is true? Possibly there was a fourth witness, but can his version be trusted?
