The Deerslayer 1957 N/R, 78 min. Genre: Adventure
Director: Kurt Neumann Cast: Lex Barker, Rita Moreno, Forrest Tucker, Cathy O'Donnell, Jay C. Flippen, Carlos Rivas, John Halloran, Addison Richards, Joseph Vitale
The Deerslayer (Lex Barker) and his Mohican blood brother (Carlos Rivas) come to the rescue of an Indian-hater (Jay C. Flippen) and his two daughters when they are threatened by the Huron tribe. Perhaps the Hurons have a reason to be upset. A weak, and cheap, retelling of the James Fenimore Cooper novel.

The King and I 1956 N/R, 133 min. Genre: Family / Musical / Fantasy
Director: Walter Lang Cast: Deborah Kerr, Yul Brynner, Rita Moreno, Martin Benson, Alan Mowbray, Geoffrey Toone, Terry Saunders, Rex Thompson, Carlos Rivas, Patrick Adiarte, Marni Nixon, Charles Irwin, Jocelyn Lew, Leonard Strong, Stephanie Pond-Smith
This lavish Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, adapted from the stage, has become a classic. It is the story of Anna (Deborah Kerr and singing voice of Marni Nixon) who goes to Siam to teach the King's (Yul Brynner) children. At first, Anna and the King do not get along, but when they perform their dance number to "Shall We Dance?" there is more than a small hint of romance. Brynner won an Oscar for his portrayal of the King. The film won four other Oscars and was nominated for an additional four, including Best Picture, Actress (Kerr), and Director.
