NORTH STAR

Kolya (Dana Andrews), Kurin (Walter Huston), Damian (Farley Granger), and Marina (Anne Baxter) are Ukraine farmers whose whole way of life is turned upside down when Germany, in disregard of former treaties, takes over the land in an iron-fisted occupation. Many of the enraged farmers take up arms in opposition of the Nazis, heading to the countryside to fight, while the people left behind destroy their crops rather than relinquish them to the German regime. North Star is the powerful, gripping drama of a people's will to survive and their dogged struggle to obtain freedom.

SUBMARINE BASE

It is World War II and the Nazis have just sunk an American ship. Among the people to survive the attack is the ship's engineer Jim Taggart (John Litel), a one-time New York City cop. Taggart is rescued by a fisherman living on a tiny island off the coast of South America but recognizes the man to be Joe Morgan (Alan Baxter), a former New York gangster. Morgan has been living on the island, lying low and staying at a halfway house that also serves as a bar for the island's farmers and traders. Soon Taggart discovers that Morgan has been selling torpedoes to the Nazis, but he doesn't know that Morgan has designed the missiles to explode when the German boats go to sea, thus sinking them. Things go haywire from this point on as confusion and mayhem result when each side—the Allies and the Nazis—question just whom Morgan is working for.

GUNG HO!

A true-life epic featuring Randolph Scott, J. Carrol Naish, and Noah Beery Jr. that revolves around an exclusive division of the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, made up of only the strongest, fittest, most talented men. This specialized battalion, nicknamed "Carlson's Raiders," was given the perilous task of taking control of a South Pacific island, once possessed by the United States but now under Japanese command. The operatives' iron-willed commander is Colonel Thorwald (Randolph Scott), who selects the specialists and trains them in many types of combat. When the boys in blue are ready, they make their raid on Makin Island, resulting in a volatile confrontation that will go down in history.

THE SELL OUT with Richard Widmark

The Sell Out is an action-drama centered on a former CIA operative who grudgingly rejoins the spy-game due to the machinations of his one-time student—a screw up who goes to work for the Soviets. As his job drags him deeper into a dangerous and underhanded world, the student wants out of the agency and out of the U.S.S.R. But the man's choices have made him a target and now both the United States and Russia want him dead, sending their most able hit men to do it.
