Synopsis

The rocketship crashes into the Earth, killing everyone inside.

The father has earned the respect of his son only because he has killed

someone.

The woman lies in bed, her life ruined irreparably as the cop walks

away from her.

The young girl stares at a toy boat, unaware of the numerous deaths

she has caused.

The man with the badge rides away, leaving a trail of lifeless bodies

in his wake.

These are all unforgettable endings to great movies that have either

been neglected or forgotten. Despite the high merits of these movies,

they never received the large audiences they deserved. But it may not be

too late for belated recognition.

In this third volume of Celluloid Adventures, the spotlight is once

again on movies that are unjustifi ably underrated or undeservedly unknown.

The movies cover a span of three decades, from 1942 to 1971. As

in Volume 2, these movies represent a variety of genres. They include a

Western that is also a suspense movie, an adventure fi lm that is also a

fantasy and a science fi ction story that is also a tragedy. There is a movie

about children that is not for children, a crime movie that is a social drama

and a Western that is both traditional and radical. There is also a fi lm

noir that is a morality play, a thriller that is horrifyingly prophetic and a

police story about an offi cer who uses his badge to kill. There is a comedy

and a war movie but the comedy has dark overtones and the war movie

is anti-military.
