 Jeanne Eagels (1957) - Kim Novak looks great in this campy melodrama very loosely based on the ultimately tragic life of 1920s actress Jeanne Eagels. Agnes Moorehead and Virginia Grey ably co-star, while some feel Jeff Chandler was miscast , while others believe he just had a hard time working with Ms. Novak; they'll have to agree to disagree!

 Johnny Guitar (1954) - This cult favorite stars Joan Crawford, Sterling Hayden, Mercedes McCambridge and Ernest Borgnine in a Nicholas Ray-directed Western that is definitely outside the box!

 Journey for Margaret (1942) - World War II tear-jerker about a couple, played by Robert Young and Laraine Day, who hook up with a pair of orphans in London during the blitz, played by William Severn and Margaret O'Brien. The little boy is very appealing, but he only appeared in a few more films. For O'Brien, however, this was her first starring role and the beginning of a long career.

 Jubilee Trail (1954) - Sprawling western soap opera set in early California stars Vera Ralston, Joan Leslie, Forrest Tucker, and John Russell, but Pat O'Brien steals the show in a supporting role. One of Herbert J. Yates' last pictures for Republic Studios in which he unfortunately cast his wife (Ralston) as the star.

 June Bride (1948) - Bette Davis and Robert Montgomery star as a pair of feuding reporters who battle their way through a wedding in a small town. Later became a popular TV show, using the same theme music but different stars. An outstanding print, but with a brief drop-out during the opening titles.

 Junior Miss (1945) - Charming 40s slice-of-life comedy stars the talented Peggy Ann Garner in one of her few comedic roles as a 13-year-old coming of age in New York City. Mona Freeman as her sister, Barbara Whiting as her best friend, and Allyn Joslyn as her put-upon father do a nice job, too. Look for a very young Mel Torme as one of the sister's boyfriends.

 Keeper of the Flame (1942) - Tracy and Hepburn in their second film together, this time a drama directed by George Cukor, in which Tracy plays a reporter and Hepburn the widow of a beloved patriot who bears a resemblance to Charles Lindbergh. Richard Worf as the sinister aide of the dead man and Margaret Wycherly as his crazy mom are just two of the excellent supporting players who help make this film work.

 The Kid From Brooklyn (1946) - This Danny Kaye remake of a 1934 Harold Lloyd film, with songs by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn, showcases Kaye in his prime and offers sparkling color and great supporting performances.

 The Kidnappers (1953) - Known as The Little Kidnappers in the U.S. (not to be confused with the inferior made-for-TV film from 1999), this one is a lost gem from Scotland, featuring charming performances by several child actors, as well as a fine supporting performance by the great Theodore Bikel. Excellent family fare. (For some reason this disc will not play on some DVD players, so if you order it, be prepared to try more than one player.)

 Knockout (1941) - Arthur Kennedy is Johnny Rocket, a newly married boxer with a scheming manager played by Anthony Quinn, in this above-average "B" movie for boxing fans. Cornel Wilde has a small role here but was only a few years away from stardom.
