directed by François Truffaut
featuring Oskar Werner, Julie Christie, Cyril Cusack, Anton Diffring, Jeremy Spencer

In the future, an oppressive government maintains control of public opinion by outlawing literature and maintaining a group of enforcers known as "firemen" to perform the necessary book burnings.

directed by Stanley Kramer
featuring Vivien Leigh, Simone Signoret, José Ferrer, Lee Marvin, Oskar Werner

The first person the audience sees in Ship of Fools is dwarf Michael Dunn, who speaks to viewers directly and acts as a Greek chorus throughout the film. It begins on the deck of an ocean liner travelling from Vera Cruz to Bremerhaven. The time is the 1930s, so close and yet so far from war. The cross-section of humanity on board includes ship's ...

The Life and Loves of Mozart

The Life and Loves of Mozart (1956) more movies like this

directed by Hans Sinarowsky, Karl Hartl
featuring Oskar Werner, Johanna Matz, Gertrud Kückelmann, Nadja Tiller, Erich Kunz, Angelika Hauff

This movie takes place during the premiere of Mozart's Die Zauberfloete (The Magic Flute). Not really depicting his entire life and loves, much of this is fictionalized scatology. Although not without basis in fact, Mozart has attained a somewhat colorful reputation and this is really just more of the same. The music is a joy, but the movie bogs ...
