Um pequeno criminoso muda-se para uma grande cidade em busca de melhor sorte.

A series about the life, career and works of the movie comedy genius.

The coquettish granddaughter of a respected small-town judge is stranded at a bootleggers’ hide-out, subjected to an act of nightmarish sexual violence, and plunged into a criminal underworld that threatens to swallow her up completely.

A gambler, hopelessly in debt, agrees to pay off his debt by allowing his creditor to take out a life insurance policy on him and collecting once the one-year suicide clause has elapsed.

Quarenta anos da história norte-americana, em um período compreendido entre 1889 e 1929, são vistos através dos olhos de Yancey Cravat, um editor de jornal e o homem da lei de Oklahoma. Ele deixa suas terras em Wichita, chegando em Osage com sua família, mas logo sente-se ocioso novamente, com a rotina, e decide ir para Cherokee Strip, deixando sua família para trás. Sua mulher, Sabra, precisa então aprender a viver por conta própria. Vencedor do Oscar de Melhor Filme, foi o primeiro do gênero faroeste a conseguir tal proeza (fato que só se repetiu mais duas vezes, com Dança com Lobos e Os Imperdoáveis). Faturou ainda as estatuetas de Melhor Direção de Arte e Melhor Roteiro Adaptado.

Now hear this. The studio that gave the cinema its voice offered 1929 audiences a chance to see and hear multiple silent-screen favorites for the first time in a gaudy, grandiose music-comedy-novelty revue that also included Talkie stars, Broadway luminaries and of course, Rin-Tin-Tin. Frank Fay hosts a jamboree that, among its 70+ stars, features bicyclers, boxing champ Georges Carpentier, chorines in terpsichore kickery, sister acts, Myrna Loy in two-strip Technicolor as an exotic Far East beauty, John Barrymore in a Shakespearean soliloquy (adding an on-screen voice to his legendary profile for the first time) and Winnie Lightner famously warbling the joys of Singing in the Bathtub. Watch, rinse, repeat!

Jimmy O'Connor and Scotty are a couple of New York City gamblers and sharpies who decide to go straight and, since they are such good friends, split 50-50 "even steven" on anything they get or do. Jimmy, a confirmed bachelor, doesn't care for women but Scotty falls in love with Diana O'Sullivan, a Coney Island girl. They decide that Jimmy needs a girlfriend and they opt for Jeannie Cavanaugh. But, following their 50-50 pact, Jimmy, although he has fallen in love with Jeannie, praises Scotty to her.

Eve's Secret is that she's not the elegant society woman she seems to be. In fact, Eve is an unkempt country girl who's been "transformed," Pygmalion style, by European duke Poltava.
