Renaissance Man (1994)
Overcoming....
Until I saw this film Danny Devito and Penny Marshall were to me fluff actors.
Penny and Danny take the character Bill, an out of work, divorced, baggage ridden man and a group of military misfits and threw them together.
They make each other belly up to their responsibilities and they both grow.
The Court of Last Resort (1957)
The precursor of appeals
This series was played against the backdrop of shows like Dragnet where the suspect was proven guilty -- if necessary he was given opportunity to confess. The court of last resort played upon police errors and the sympathy of the public.
Convicts ready to be executed were investigated. ALWAYS, the police were wrong, they were wrongfully accused and they were freed in 30 minutes. I believe this was one of the beginning shots in the war of social engineering of Hollywood.
We have today as the result, Miranda, and police and prosecutors that are handcuffed in protecting us from those who would break the law...
Executive Action (1973)
If there was a conspiracy to kill JFK
If there was a conspiracy to kill JFK, this is one of only two possible scenarios. The other, Texans working for Lady Bird Johnson did it.
This is plausable and if there was a group that could have pulled it off AND kept it quiet for 30 years, it was not the FBI, CIA or Military, it was the big business.
If it was done as shown, with only a handful of in the knows, and if they were able to control the participants, then the conspiracy could have held the secret for now and all time.
Great casting, great story, and plausable. One small item of conflict, the two way radio used was from a later time, possibly 5 years.
Birds of Prey (1973)
A fighter jock fonds a new war
David Jansen plays the phenominal role of ex-World War II fighter pilot who is a traffic heliocopter pilot. After seeing robbers flee a crime in a heliocopter he follows, refuels along the road, frees the hostage and enters into a showdown with the robbers.
The film has many scenes of sensational flying.
Manila Calling (1942)
A tribute to American soldiers in the Luzon during world war II
Manilla calling chronicles the activities of a group of Americans, cut off and trapped in Luzon by the Japanese advance. They elected to hide in the mountains rather than surrender and go to Japanese prison camps. Lloyd Nolan plays a role as a tough guy with a soft heart. It has little hype and no revisionist history, an accurate account of how it was.
