Sessue Hayakawa’s Typical Vibe
2 films — measured, wistful, intense, layered, quiet
The classic story of English POWs in Burma forced to build a bridge to aid the war effort of their Japanese captors. British and American intelligence officers conspire to blow up the structure, but Col. Nicholson, the commander who supervised the bridge's construction, has acquired a sense of pride in his creation and tries to foil their plans.
Dir. David Lean · With William Holden, Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins
After being shipwrecked, the Robinson family is marooned on an island inhabited only by an impressive array of wildlife. In true pioneer spirit, they quickly make themselves at home but soon face a danger even greater than nature: dastardly pirates.
Dir. Ken Annakin · With John Mills, Dorothy McGuire, James MacArthur
