From director Christopher Guest comes another brilliant “mockumentary” following in the tradition of his ensemble efforts “Best in Show”, “A Mighty Wind” and “Waiting For Guffman”. The sardonic genius Ricky Gervais joins Guest’s cast of regulars including Catherine O’Hara, Parker Posey, Eugene Levy, Michael McKean for this skewering of Hollywood awards season with its hype and hoopla.

Wagon Train star Robert Horton returned to television as a gunfighter in search of his identity across the wilds of the Old West in this fan-favorite series from the 1965-66 season. A stranger is shot and left to die from exposure to the elements. Half dead, he is brought to a small town by a pair of cowboys who hope there may be a reward for his capture. A worldly woman, Kate (Beverly Garland), nurses the man back to health. When he recovers consciousness, the man has no idea who he is or where he came from. Newly christened Shenandoah by Kate, he is forced into a gunfight, killing the one man who might have told him who he is. Forced to bid goodbye to Kate, he sets out on the long, lonely trail to discover his own identity. Notable guests Shenandoah encounters while searching for clues to his past include DeForest Kelley, Edward Asner, Bruce Dern, Cloris Leachman, Warren Oates, George Kennedy, Leonard Nimoy, Martin Landau and Frank Gorshin.

Broadway’s Gwen Marlowe and Ernest Lane are sweethearts, onstage as stars of Victor Herbert’s operetta and offstage as happily marrieds. Then Hollywood beckons, and their fretful stage producer puts the kibosh on any Tinseltown plans by trumping up a romantic triangle that sets the lovebirds feuding. Notable as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s first feature film shot in the three-color Technicolor® process, the 24-karat Golden Age singing team of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy are at their absolute best in this lavish, gossamer-weight box office smash glittering with songs that highlight their superb voices. Director W. S. Van Dyke II provides sophistication, the Dorothy Parker-Alan Campbell script provides rapier wit and the Oscar® -winning cinematography provides proof the ravishing, red-haired MacDonald was born for Technicolor ®.
