Summary |
The ghost & Mrs. Muir: A lonely widow is romanced by a ghost of a sea captain in her "haunted" English cottage. |
All about Eve: About the rivalry between an ambitious young ingenue and the tempestuous aging star whom she supplants. Margo Channing is a Broadway actress firmly established in the New York theatre, but nevertheless much in need of praise. She responds warmly at first to the blandishments of Eve, a younger woman who ventures to admire her in wide-eyed humility. |
How green was my valley: A man looks back on his life as a boy in a small Welsh mining town. His reminiscences reveal the disintegration of his closely knit family, while capturing the sentiments and issues of their time |
An affair to remember: A couple falls in love and agrees to meet in six months at the Empire State Building - but will it happen? |
Heaven knows, Mr. Allison: Stranded together on a Pacific Island, an Irish nun and a heroic Marine sergeant hide out from invading Japanese troops who take over the island and set up a base. Living under perilous conditions with unendurable hardships, the sergeant falls deeply in love with the religious woman, refusing to believe she won't forsake her vows to be with him. |
