All About Eve (1950)
Drama
In one of her "sharpest, truest, most sophisticated and titillating performances" (Los Angeles Examiner), screen legend Bette Davis plays stage legend Margo Channing. But as Margo's star is dimming, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), a young, ambitious ingenue, becomes her all-too-willing protege. Slowly, this dreamy-eyed kid spins a deceptively cunning web around Channing's inner-circle, including Margo's director boyfriend Bill Simpson (Gary Merrill), playwright Lloyd Richards (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife Karen (Celeste Holm) until she reaches her end goal – Margo's spotlight on Broadway!

Decision Before Dawn (1951)
Drama | War
WWII is entering its last phase: Germany is in ruins, but does not yield. The US army lacks crucial knowledge about the German units operating on the opposite side of the Rhine, and decides to send two German prisoners to gather information. The scheme is risky: the Gestapo retains a terribly efficient network to identify and capture spies and deserters. Moreover, it is not clear that "Tiger", who does not mind any dirty work as long as the price is right, and war-weary "Happy", who might be easily betrayed by his feelings, are dependable agents. After Tiger and another American agent are successfully infiltrated, Happy is parachuted in Bavaria. His duty: find out the whereabouts of a powerful German armored unit moving towards the western front.
Starring: Richard Basehart, Gary Merrill, Oskar Werner, Hildegard Knef, Dominique Blanchar
