Billy Budd

It's 1797, and the English frigate Avenger sails wartime seas, ready to battle the French navy. There's another type of warfare going on aboard the king's ship, the battle of good versus evil. Terence Stamp plays the title role as the archetype of goodness with Robert Ryan portraying the efficient and cruel master-at-arms.

Captain Horatio Hornblower

Gregory Peck plays the valiant Napoleonic Era British naval hero in this swashbuckling screen saga adapted by Hornblower's creator C.S. Forester. True to the famed source novels, Hornblower outthinks his rivals to outfight them. He's unflinching under fire, modest in victory - and more than a little at sea romantically with Lady Wellesley (Virginia Mayo).

Madame Bovary

Jennifer Jones stars as Emma Bovary in this lush adaptation of the Gustave Flaubert novel that scandalized 19th-century France. As the wife of a country doctor, she longs for romance, glamour and possessions. Instead she gets routine, motherhood and penny-pinching. When she catches the eye of a handsome aristocrat, Emma risks all for what she thinks will be happiness.

The Prisoner of Zenda - DOUBLE FEATURE

Ronald Colman plays the roles of both Major and King in the resilient 1937 David O. Selznick production, whose gallantry as the stand-in is tested by his love for the real king's fiancee (Madeleine Carroll). Douglas Fairbanks is outstanding as the villain. Stewart Granger stars in the lavish 1952 color version, romancing Deborah Kerr and dueling against the scoundrel Rupert (James Mason).

The Three Musketeers

Gene Kelly plays country lad D'Artagnan, who comes to Paris with heady ambition and duels his way into the ranks of King Louis XIII's musketeers. He swashes-and-buckles with brio, displaying the virile athleticism that set him apart as a dancer in movie musicals.
