乔治·希顿编导的上乘战争片，剧情重点不是一场战役，而是一场布局精妙的心理战。剧情描述美国情报员杰佛逊·匹克在诺曼第登陆战前两天被德军绑架前往德国巴伐利亚。当派克从昏迷中转醒，发现他置身于盟军的一家医院中，而且此时战争已经结束，他还有了一个妻子叫安娜。精神病医生华特·格伯要跟匹克讨论他的失忆症，其实是想从他口中套出诺曼第登陆的军事情报。在关键时刻，匹克发现了这原来是一场骗局，乃跟德军玩猫捉老鼠的斗智游戏，最后更在格伯协助下逃回盟军阵地。悬疑性浓厚的情节始终掌控着观众的好奇心，三位主角詹姆斯·加纳、爱娃·玛丽·森特、罗德·泰勒也都表现出色，可惜压轴的逃亡动作戏拍得比较一般。

◎简　　介
Set against the background of the Battle of Waterloo, Becky Sharp is the story of Vanity Fair by Thackeray. Becky and Amelia are girls at school together, but Becky is from a "show biz" family, or in other words, very low class. Becky manages to insinuate herself in Amelia's family and gets to know all their friends. From this possibly auspicious- beginning, she manages to ruin her own life, becoming sick, broke, and lonely, and also ruins the lives of many other "loved ones". In the movie we get to see the class distinctions in England at the time, and get a sense of what it was like for the English military at the time of the Napoleonic wars.
In the years just preceding Waterloo, best friends Amelia Sedley (Frances Dee) and Becky Sharp (Miriam Hopkins) graduate from Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Girls. The wealthy Amelia invites the penniless Becky into the bosom of her family home while the manipulative Becky plots her climb up the social ladder. Entirely lacking in scruples and unhampered by conscience or morality, Becky ascends to the very pinnacle of society, crushing anyone who stands in her path.
Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, Rouben Mamoulian's adaptation of Thackeray's epic novel Vanity Fair was the first film to be produced in three strip Technicolor.

The impact of Marx on the 20th century was all-pervasive and worldwide, costing tens of millions of lives where Communism was imposed, resulting in brutal wars to contain or expand it, and vastly improving the lives of workers where fear of Communism resulted in social reform. This program looks at the man, at the roots of his philosophy, at the causes and explanations of his philosophical development, and at its most direct outcome: the failed Soviet Union.
