Pilot X: Murder In The Sky

A deranged flyer calling himself Pilot X wreaks havoc by shooting down passenger planes. Inspector Gallagher of the Bureau of Aeronautics and the eminent Dr. Norris assemble an international team of flying aces in an effort to capture Pilot X. The pilots engage in furious aerial battles with the killer and are shot from the sky one by one. A final deadly battle between the group's ace gunner and the aerial maniac grounds the killer and exposes X's identity. Skillful use of dogfight footage adds to the sense of high altitude danger in this whodunnit of the skies.

His charges: grand theft, kidnapping, battery and murder. Mickey Rooney stars as Danny, a kid with his sights on impressing a beautiful diner waitress, Vera (Jeanne Cagney). When he asks her out on a date a couple of days before his payday, he borrows money from the garage's cash register, intending to replace it by the time the accountant comes to count the drawer.

But will he make it there alive?

Rear Window

Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 remake of his own 1934 spy thriller is an exciting event in its own right, with several justifiably famous sequences. James Stewart and Doris Day play American tourists who discover more than they wanted to know about an assassination plot. When their son is kidnapped to keep them quiet, they are caught between concern for him and the terrible secret they hold. When asked about the difference between this version of the story and the one he made 22 years earlier, Hitchcock always said the first was the work of a talented amateur while the second was the act of a seasoned professional. Indeed, several extraordinary moments in this update represent consummate filmmaking, particularly a relentlessly exciting Albert Hall scene, with a blaring symphony, an assassin's gun, and Doris Day's scream.

Scar, The

After a botched hit on a casino, the criminal mastermind John Muller has nowhere to run. With a band of killers on his trail, he hides out in an anonymous office job, knowing that his days are numbered. When he is mistaken for the psychiatrist Dr. Bartok, he finds his escape route. The doctor is a dead ringer for Muller, except for a hideous scar on his face. By inflicting the gruesome wound on his own cheek, the criminal is able to assume Bartok's identity. Through a twist of fate, Muller cuts the scar onto the wrong side of his face and finds his survival threatened. Unable to keep this precarious balance any longer, he makes one last attempt at escape before fate closes in on him. Paul Henreid produced and starred in this inspired film-noir thriller. The nail-biting tension is magnified by phenomenal performances by Joan Bennett ("Scarlet Street") and John Qualen (Paul Henreid's co-star in "Casablanca"). "The Scar" also introduces Dragnet's Jack Webb in his first motion picture role.
