Anzio – Where the end of World War II began . . . Screen greats Robert Mitchum, Peter Falk and Arthur Kennedy star in this vivid account of one of the fiercest and most decisive campaigns of World War II. When Allied forces land at Anzio, Italy, they are initially unopposed but instead of moving straight inland to reach their primary objective – Rome – the Commanding Officer decides to dig in and build a coastal stronghold. This decision allowed the unprepared Germans time to outflank them by enclosing the Anzio beachhead and engaging the Allies in one of the most brutal and bloody battles of WWII. From the acclaimed director of The Caine Mutiny and Back to Bataan and co-starring Giancarlo Giannini, Reni Santoni and Robert Ryan, ANZIO is a powerful film that ranks as one of the most spectacular and realistic war movies ever made. Castle Keep – Burt Lancaster and Peter Falk headline the cast in this decidedly different war movie from Sydney Pollack – the acclaimed director of Out of Africa and 3 Days of the Condor. Based on the novel by William Eastlake, CASTLE KEEP tells the s tory of a group of battle-wary American soldiers at the end of WWII, who take refuge in a perfectly preserved medieval castle in the Ardennes forest, with the plan to use it as a stronghold against the advancing German army. But as they wait for the approaching enemy, the soldiers engage in some unusual rest and relaxation amidst the tranquil town . . . until the invasion by German troops puts them right back in the firing line. Shaded with surreal, off-beat moments, Castle Keep is an extraordinary melding of war drama, satiric comedy and heroic action adventure that will appeal to fans of films like Kelly’s Heroes and Three Kings. King Rat – He entered WWII a soldier . . . and left a King . . . 5,000 men at Changi Prison . . . but only one could be King . . . Award-winning actor George Segal ignites the screen with his star-making performance in this epic World War II drama based on the best-selling novel by Shogun author James Clavell. The movie chronicles the scams of a streetwise GI held in a Japanese prison camp. Under the harrowing camp conditions, he rises to a position of power over his military and social superiors, manipulating those around him and controlling the prison’s black market. Co-starring Tom Courtenay, James Fox, Denholm Elliott and nominated for two Academy Awards (1965 Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography), KING RAT is a powerful exploration of one man’s struggle to survive and flourish against all odds.
