SINCERELY
YOURS
(1955) Long before HBO took us Behind the Candelabra (thanks to the talents of
Messrs. Soderbergh, Douglas and Damon) Władziu Valentino Liberace was a
household one-name superstar, thanks to his smash hit syndicated TV series and
Las Vegas revue, when Warner Bros. cast him in this remake of the George Arliss
vehicle, The Man Who Played God. Under the stewardship of veteran camera hand
George Stevens, Liberace was backed-up by a first-rate supporting
"string" section featuring Dorothy Malone, JoAnne Dru and William
Demarest. Mixing melodrama and music, Sincerely Yours depicts a maestro facing
a future sans music, while his fiancé is finding romance with another. So
what's a fate-tossed bravura showman to do? Lip-read and interfere in his
neighbor's lives, that's what! Liberace performs a score of songs in the film,
rendering the cost of admission musically moot, including an extended nightclub
scene that captures the lightning in a bottle that was Liberace live on stage
complete with sighing spinsters. Newly Remastered.

Monogram debut alongside Jimmy in 1948's Silver Trails.

STAMPEDE

It's a full-house of Western wonder as Rod Cameron, Gale Storm and Johnny Mack
Brown team up for this tale of water rights and gunfights. When settlers arrive
at the town of
SHORT
GRASS (1950) Lesley Selander rides again, in this oater that re-teams Rod and
Johnny Mack. This time 'round Rod plays a drifter who fails to steer clear of
cordite-flavored trouble after falling hard for a rancher's daughter (Cathy
Downs). Framed for a robbery and shot in the back, the drifter gives the
ill-gotten goods to the rancher (Stanley Andrews) before fleeing. Returning

lush, and a Marshall (Johnny Mack Brown) mooning over the lady. Also features

STALLION (1952) Following the murder of his parents during an Indian raid, a young

stallion that leads a pack of wild horses. An early production from the
legendary Walter Mirisch, starring Ben Johnson and a trio of future TV titans -
Edgar Buchanan, Hayden Rorke, and Hugh Beaumont.
RIDER ON DEAD HORSE
(1962)
Allied Artists continues to step into the New Westerns of the 1960s with this
six-gun saga that mixes seedy with its oats. Three prospectors (John Vivyan,
Bruce Gordon and Charles Lampkin) bury their gold to protect it from Apache
attack. No sooner than you can say "Sierra Madre", greed turns the
trio into a killer, a victim, and a corpse. But unfortunately for the killer,
only the man he left for dead knows the way back to the secret cache. Also
stars Kevin Hagen and Lisa Lu.
