Philip Leacock directs this 1960s British film exploring a
childhood friendship threatened by a religious divide. Michael
O'Malley (Philip Needs), a young Catholic boy, and Rachel Mathias
(Loretta Parry), a young Jewish girl, become friends when the
former rescues the latter from schoolyard bullies. With both
considered outsiders in Protestant England, a strong basis exists
for a bond between the pair. However, in their innocence, Michael
and Rachel become friends in spite of, rather than because of,
their family backgrounds. Distraught when Rachel's parents declare
that they are moving away, the pair set off on an adventure that
may well change their lives forever...

Made-for-TV fantasy horror based on the ghost story by Irish writer
Sheridan Le Fanu. Would-be young artist Godfried Schalcken (Jeremy
Clyde) is in love with Rose (Cheryl Kennedy), the niece of his
benefactor Gerrit Dou (Maurice Denham). However, a mysterious
stranger appears and buys Rose's hand in marriage. They get married
in a Rotterdam church but when Schalcken later goes to check on
Rose's well-being he learns that the couple have not been seen
since their wedding day...
"Cluck The Undercover Chicken" is a love story. Wait, that isn't
it. It's an action adventure filled with thrills, intrigue and
danger. Well, it does have that. It has a hero that kids can look
up to. That definitely isn't true, despite what that "hero" thinks.
Sigh...here's the truth. It's a story about a rooster who can't
stand being called a rooster, who also spends his time arguing with
the writer of the book, while trying to save his planet (made of a
mutated egg shell) from a crazed hen who wants equal rights...as
long as she is absolute ruler. And you think you have problems.
"Cluck" is a book that middle aged-kids (and perhaps some adults)
will enjoy. An agent with "The Eggency," Cluck is the best at what
he does. Sadly, his ego is as massive as his skills. Besides being
blinded by his arrogance, Cluck is helped along by "ST," the writer
of his adventures and a voice only he can hear. While this causes
some to question his sanity, together they make an uneasy, but
successful partnership. When a hen named "The Fan" (named because
she has a deadly hand fan with her at all times) forms a worldwide
cult in order to take over the planet, it's up to Cluck to toss a
feather in her plans...if his ego doesn't trip him up first.
Written for the young with laughs built in for all, "Cluck" is a
book meant to be an unique reading experience; a quick read that
you will remember for a long time.

Susan Wright was a victim...who admitted to killing her husband
Jeffrey in their Harris County home in 2003, by stabbing him to
death in self-defense. She recounted a harrowing tale of domestic
abuse-one that the raging mother of two finally brought to an
end-her way.
But prosecutors had a story of their own...
Susan Wright was a seductress...who set the mood for kinky sex with
her unsuspecting husband. After tying Jeffrey to the bed, Susan
straddled him, stabbed him 193 times with a butcher knife, then
buried his body in a makeshift grave in their backyard.
Justice would not come easy. The fury was just beginning.
The bloodstained theatrics that unfolded in the Houston courtroom
would stun jurors, make national headlines, and brand Susan Wright
as both a desperate martyr on the edge and
a brutal killer who would be brought to justice.
On 23 May 1999 in the midst of a World Wrestling Federation stunt,
wrestler Owen Hart plummeted eight stories from the top of Kansas
City's Kemper Arena to his death on the hard canvas of the
wrestling ring. His death, witnessed by 16,000 live audience
members and millions more on TV lead to a brutal seventeen-month
legal battle of finger pointing for responsibility. In this book,
Owen's wife speaks poignantly about her days by Owen's side, the
life that they created for their two children, and the tremendous
loss that she has been confronted with every day. From their days
as high school sweethearts to Owen's performances in sold-out
stadiums, she illuminates the tragic story of this modern gladiator
and his horrific demise brought on by the neglect of the
professional wrestling world.
