Zero Hour! (1957)
PKR 350A routine flight turns into a major emergency as passengers and crew succumb to food poisoning – is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? If that sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because ‘Airplane’ was a send-up of this forerunner of the 1970s disaster movie. Written by Michael Brooke

Assignment: Paris (1952)
PKR 350George Sanders plays Nicholas Strang, the wise editor of the paper, for which Jimmy Race (Dana Andrews) works as a digging, scheming reporter. Viewers will recognize Sanders from All About Eve, again playing the older, wiser, mentor. A lot of time is spent with the viewer (but not the characters in the film) watching and hearing what is going on inside the foreign embassies and administration offices, so it’s very much a cold war us- against- them story, with Race trying to get to the truth. Caught up in all this is fellow reporter Marta Toren as Jeanne Moray, and no-one is really sure what her story is…. We are led to think she is more involved than we know, but that part of the story seems to have been dropped, or deleted.

I Want You (1951)
PKR 350Upon beginning production on his Korean-war drama I Want You, producer Sam Goldwyn lamented “I’ve just brought those boys back from the war, and now I have to send them out again!” Goldwyn, of course, was referring to his Oscar-winning “homecoming” drama Best Years of Our Lives. He’d hoped that I Want You would be 1951’s “answer” to that post-WW II classic, and while the later film falls short of that goal, it still has much to recommend it. The scene is a small town in the Eastern United States, where the outbreak of hostilities in Korea has a profound effect on several people. WW II veteran Martin Greer (Dana Andrews) wants to re-enlist, much to the dismay of his wife Nancy (Dorothy McGuire).
