Drama starring Myrna Loy and Robert Mitchum, based on a screenplay adapted by John Steinbeck from his early novel of the same name. Ten-year-old Tom Tiflin (Peter Miles) lives on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley with his mother (Loy), recently-returned father (Sheppard Strudwick), maternal grandfather (Louis Calhern) and handsome hired hand Billy Buck (Mitchum). In an attempt to get closer to his son after his long absence from the ranch, Tom's father gives him a much longed-for pony. But as the pony becomes the central focus of Tom's life, the family is driven apart as Tom turns to Billy for help with rearing it.

Classic comedy starring Don Ameche as newly deceased playboy Henry Van Cleve, who presents himself to the outer offices of Hades, where he asks a bemused Satan for permission to enter the gates of hell. Though the Devil doubts Henry's sins will qualify him for eternal damnation, Henry proceeds to recount a lifetime spent wooing and pursuing women, his long, happy marriage to Martha (Gene Tierney) not withstanding.
