Five films from the hugely popular sci-fi franchise. In 'The Fly'
(1958), a scientist (David Hedison) is obsessed with developing a
molecular matter transmitter. When he attempts to test the
invention himself, he is unwittingly joined by a companion - a fly
that has sneaked into the transportation pod with him. The
consequences of the experiment soon become clear, as the scientist
begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'Return of the Fly'
(1959) sees the original scientist's son reconstructing the matter
transporter which turned his father into an insect, with the young
man's experiments leading him down the same insectoid path. In
'Curse of the Fly' (1965) the plot again revolves around the
Delambre family, although this time it is the scientist's grandson,
Henri Delambre (Brian Donlevy), who becomes obsessed with
transporter experiments to the dismay of his two sons, who want to
live normal lives and forget about their grandfather's invention.
Henri's oldest son, Martin (George Baker), marries a young woman
who just escaped from a mental hospital. After Martin's new wife
discovers a closet filled with deranged humans left over from
failed teleportation experiments, the police are called and Henri
attempts to flee using the infamous transporter. 'The Fly' (1986)
is the Oscar-winning remake of the 1958 horror classic. Scientist
Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), experimenting with transmitting
matter uses himself as a guinea-pig, unaware that a fly has got
into the machinery. As he embarks on a relationship with Veronica
Quaife (Geena Davis), the journalist covering his project, his body
slowly begins to take on fly-like characteristics. 'The Fly 2'
(1989) is the sequel to the 1986 movie. Dr Seth Brundle is no more,
but he has left behind a gruesome legacy: the teleportation device
which transformed him into a human fly, and a son, Martin (Matthew
Moore/Harley Cross). Infected with his father's insect metabolism,
Martin's growth is hugely accelerated, and he is soon a fully grown
man (Eric Stoltz). When he discovers the remains of his father's
experiment, Martin decides to pick up where Seth left off.
The complete seven seasons of the original mystery and suspense
series hosted by the master of suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock.
Each 30-minute episode includes opening and closing monologues by
Hitchcock who explains some aspect of the day's story in his
inimitably dry, humorous monotone.

to obtain the freedom of his people, the parting of the Red Sea,

Published in 1959, this book is what Vincent Price called his
“visual autobiography” — the story of his life through his
48th year as seen through the lens of his greatest passion, the
visual arts. Peppered with lively stories about both his art
collecting and advocacy as well as his career as an actor, I Like
What I Know is written in an approachable and entertaining style,
capturing what has drawn fans to Vincent Price throughout his
distinguished 65-year-career and in the two decades since his death
in 1993.
