Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, John Houseman and Douglas Fairbanks
Jr star in this 80s horror based on the novel by Peter Straub. When
four old friends, Ricky, John, Sears and Edward (Astaire, Douglas,
Houseman and Fairbanks Jr), decide to get together once a week to
reminisce about times in their youth - calling themselves the
Chowder Society - they end up competing with each other over who
can tell the most gruesome ghost stories. However, after one member
of the society suddenly dies, the three survivors begin to wonder
if there could be more behind his death. Could they really be the
victims of a real-life ghost story?

Blake Edwards' screen adaptation of Truman Capote's novella stars
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, an eccentric high-class escort
working in New York. When young writer Paul Varjack (George
Peppard) - the kept man of a wealthy older woman - moves into
Holly's apartment block, he finds inspiration when he falls in love
with her. Daring in its day, it is believed by some that Peppard
was chosen because he bore an uncanny resemblance to Capote
himself.
A second film version (the first was made in 1930) of Erich Maria
Remarque's story about a group of idealistic young Germans
recruited to fight on the Western Front in 1914. Amongst their
number is the patriotic Paul Baumer (Richard Thomas), whose
preconceptions are rapidly shattered upon witnessing the horror of
life at the front. Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence and Ian Holm
also star.
Nathan Leviticus Neal was born in Anchorage, Alaska and his wife
Patricia was born in the northern part of England. Although they
were from two different continents what they both could not deny
was the thrist for knowledge and excitement was one in the same.
Together they created the ambiance within promoting the nostalgia
of a neighborhood ice cream parlor and the experience of an English
coffee house. Their slogan is: "Where our commodity is ice cream
and our product is HAPPINESS
The acclaimed autobiography from the Tony and Academy Award-winning
actress casts Patricia Neal in her greatest role--as the
indomitable heroine of her own incredible real-life story:
"Destined for bestsellerdom" ("Library Journal").
Throughout her triumphant career, Patricia Neal faced a series of
devastating challenges and losses, sometimes privately, sometimes
before an audience of millions. By age twenty-one, the
self-confident, determined, Southern-bred actress had starred in a
Broadway hit, won a Tony, was "the toast of New York" and was
featured on a "Life" cover--only the first of many triumphs in a
celebrity life.
"In this account, Neal writes candidly about her numerous love
affairs, both transient and profound, such as a liaison with Gary
Cooper and her twenty-five-year marriage to writer Roald Dahl. More
arresting are the tragedies that beset her, including the deaths of
two of her five children and, at age thirty-nine, a massive stroke
suffered when she was at the peak of her career and carrying her
fifth child. Her heroic struggle to regain her speech, mobility,
and mental capacities adds another dimension to an already
courageous human being" ("Publishers Weekly").
