The Last Lullaby

1 hr 33 mins

Price, a former hitman, is struggling to cope with retirement. He left the assassination business to live the "easy life." However, retirement arrived with its own agenda. It was not the instant peace and calm that Price expected. Rather, it was emptiness, boredom, and, worst of all, restlessness. The Last Lullaby plummets Price back into his old life and forces him into a corner from which he may never escape. Price's old ways no longer work for him when his heart opens, and he finds life beyond his profession. The tension finally boils, as Price must decide to close himself off again or open himself up to a world beyond his control.

Two women go away together. One meets a man that distracts her from being there for her friend. The betrayed friend says, "One day you will need me, and then I won't be there for you." When they next go away together the roles are reversed, the threat becomes reality. But the two situations are not exactly the same - the man in the first scenario was benign, the man in the second scenario is toxic.

El Cid Rivera is 33 and has never left Manhattan Island; neither have his childhood friends, whom he meets every day at the same bar around the same table.

Bouncing between dead-end jobs, El Cid struggles to find his calling, yet fears he'll never succeed on the epic scale his mother expects. To find escape, El Cid takes to the empty streets of New York at night - as part of a group who call themselves Asphalt Nomads. He and his fellow travelers cruise Manhattan's 900 miles of open blacktop after midnight in boat-like '70s Buicks and Lincolns to find a sense of control, serenity and briefly, freedom. A tale of self-discovery and the search for purpose.

Pals of the Golden West

1 hr 8 mins

In the 82nd and last of the Republic B-westerns starring Roy Rogers, the latter is a Border Patrolman assigned to stop the increasing threat of hoof-and-mouth disease from Mexican cattle spreading into the United States. (The term hoof-and-mouth is correct and proper usage despite the USDA current term of foot-and-mouth, which only indicates that those people don't know that cattle, goats and sheep don't have feet.) Roy arranges for his friend and counterpart in Mexico, Lopez (Maurice Jara), to also be assigned to the Border Patrol. Lopez encounters Jim Bradford (Anthony Caruso) and Ward Sloan (Roy Barcroft) smuggling cattle across the border, and he is ruthlessly shot down when he tries to arrest them. Bradford, who is actually a wanted gangster named Lucky Guillo, sends henchman Tony (Ken Terrell) to hide the body. Tony is caught by Roy and taken to Borrasco for questioning. Lopez's young son Pancho (Edwardo Jiminez) is captured by Ward and Sloan who offer to trade the boy to the Sheriff (William Ruhl) in exchange for Tony. Roy protests, but reporter Cathy Marsh (Dale Evans) and newspaper owner Elena Maders (Estelita Rodriguez) decide to release Tony to save Pancho's life. Thanks to a picture photographer Pinky (Pinky Lee) has taken, Roy makes a visit to the Sloan ranch and finds Pancho, who tells him that Sloan, Bradford and Tony are on their way to the border to rustle another herd of cattle. Roy and Trigger (billed as usual above the title with Roy) track them through a blinding sand storm.

A Child Is Waiting

1 hr 42 mins

Psychologist Dr. Matthew Clark is the head of the Crawthorne State Training Institute, one of the first boarding schools for developmentally-challenged children. Dr. Clark is sympathetic but demanding of his teachers and students. His approach of tough love is controversial. He takes a chance at hiring former aspiring concert pianist Jean Hansen as the school's music teacher, Miss Hansen, who has no background in nursing, teaching, or dealing with the developmentally challenged. She herself is trying to find her own place in life. She immediately bonds with autistic student Reuben Widdicombe, whom she sees as needing special attention; his parents haven't visited him in the two years he has been there, and divorced because of the pressures their relationship faced in dealing with him. Dr. Clark sees Reuben as the most difficult child to deal with: he understands just enough to realize that he is different and is often rejected. Miss Hansen and Dr. Clark disagree on the best way to get through to him. Although Dr. Clark admits that his methods have not worked with Reuben, he also does not believe that Miss Hansen's approach of undivided attention is the answer. Through getting to know the Widdicombes' reasons for not visiting, and seeing for herself the life of the disabled adult, Miss Hansen comes to an understanding of how she can best help her students, including Reuben.
