Title Information

3 Classics Of The Silver Screen - Vol. 2
Three features. In 'Suddenly' a group of armed gunmen take a family hostage whilst planning to assassinate the President Of The United States as he passes through their town. Also features 'My Favourite Brunette' and 'The Road To Hollywood'.

My Favourite Brunette - Ronnie Jackson (Hope) wants nothing more than to step into the gumshoes of office mate Sam McCloud (film noir veteran Alan Ladd), a private investigator who runs his own detective agency. Jackson gets his big break when a mysterious femme fatale (Dorothy Lamour) strolls into his office and, mistaking him for McCloud, asks for help with her uncle’s kidnapping. Jackson plays along with the detective role but is soon in way over his head!

The Road to Hollywood - This documentary feature charts the singer-actor’s rise to stardom during his early years in show business. Crosby’s years with Paul Whiteman and the Rhythm Boys, his performances at the Coconut Grove and his first steps into radio and recording are covered. Included are clips from some of Crosby’s earliest film appearances: Reaching for the Moon, Check and Double Check, Hollywood on Parade and the rare Paramount short Please.

The tranquillity of a small town is marred only by sheriff Tod Shaw’s (Sterling Hayden) unsuccessful courtship of

widow Ellen Benson, a pacifist who can’t abide guns and those who use them. But violence descends on

Ellen’s household when the U.S. President passes through town... and slightly psycho hired assassin John

Baron (Sinatra) finds the Benson home ideal for an ambush.
