About this product
Outpost in Morocco is a 1949 action adventure film starring George Raft and Marie Windsor. The production company got permission to actually film in Morocco using the real Foreign Legion. The production company spent nearly five months filming battle scenes and chases in Morocco, utilizing a total of 85,000 feet of film. Spahi Captain Paul Gerard (George Raft) is assigned to lead a patrol to the city of Bel-Rashad en route to a French Foreign Legion fort. Gerard is to escort the Emir's daughter, Cara (Marie Windsor), who has been studying in France. During their ten-day journey Gerard and Cara fall in love, but Gerard must report back to the Legion fort and his executive officer. One night at the Legion outpost, a sentry is shot by a sniper. Gerard infiltrates Bel-Rashad, discovering the locals are being armed with modern Mauser rifles. Gerard makes his escape and informs headquarters of these new developments. He leads a strong patrol back to the fort and discovers that the fort has been destroyed and all the Legionnaires are dead. Gerard orders a raid of Bel-Rashad in retaliation to capture the Emir. The Emir is out rallying the tribes, but Lt. Glysko (Akim Tamiroff) brings Cara back as a hostage. The Emir lays siege to the Legion fort, but Gerard is able to fend them off. Eventually, landmines are planted along the route the Emir will use to attack the fort. Cara becomes caught up in this attack and approaches the landmines which Gerard has ordered to be placed along the road to the fort. Gerard must make an agonizing decision to stop the Emir and his tribesmen from destroying the Legion's fort. But what will Gerard decide to do since Cara's life is also involved? This is a real nail-biter of a film and will keep you anxious about it's ending all the way through. (89 minutes - 1949 - Black & White - 4 3).

Named Best Picture of the Year and nominated for nine 1992 Academy Awards(r) (including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress), HOWARDS END is a dazzling adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel of Edwardian England. The film tells the story of the Schlegel sisters, Margaret (Emma Thompson) and Helen (Helena Bonham Carter); of a rich businessman, Henry Wilcox (Anthony Hopkins), and his frail wife, Ruth (Vanessa Redgrave), and their children; and of an unhappily married young bank clerk, Leonard Bast (Sam West), whom the Schlegel sisters befriend. These three families are in complete contrast to each other. Margaret and Helen are idealistic, independent and highly educated. The Wilcoxes are uncultured and utterly conventional. Leonard Bast is poor and underprivileged, but with intellectual aspirations. Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Wilcox dies, Mr. Wilcox proposes to and is accepted by Margaret Schlegel. Her sister Helen is shattered by this marriage, and in reaction to it, turns to Leonard Bast. The story has become a tangle of opposites, and through the agency of Mr. Wilcox's son Charles (James Wilby), it turns to tragedy. But in the end, thanks to the moral strength of Margaret, who believes that opposites can meet, that different kinds of people can connect, there is a resolution that is almost a triumph.
Morocco introduced Marlene Dietrich to American audiences as a cabaret singer whose cool, androgynous allure upends a North African outpost. Caught between a drifting Foreign Legionnaire and a polished aristocrat, Dietrich's character follows desire rather than convention, culminating in one of classic cinema's most famous final images. Directed by Josef von Sternberg, this second collaboration between director and star cemented their screen partnership and helped define Dietrich's iconic screen persona.
After U.S. intelligence officers pack it in, there's the perk of a top-secret getaway resort-and that where Robert (Bruce Willis) headed to put in some quality time with his son Paul (Jesse Metcalfe). Unfortunately, there'd be an event that wasn't posted on the activities board-as vengeful criminal Balzary (Chad Michael Murray) and his henchmen stormed the compound, looking to help them both toward check-out. Slam-bang stunner co-stars Kelly Greyson, Natalie Burn, and Shannen Doherty. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
