Hiawatha
(1952)Attacked by a bear while scouting the Dacotah territory, Ojibway warrior Hiawatha (Ben Casey's Vince Edwards) is nursed back to health by Minnehaha (Yvette Duguay), the daughter of the tribe's arrow maker. Falling in love, the two marry and return to the Ojibway village, where hotheaded brave Pau-Puk-Keewis (Keith Larsen) incites a war between the two nations. Learning his mother died because of the chief of the Dacotahs, Hiawatha is forced to choose between his tribe and his squaw's in this action-packed frontier adventure. Directed by Kurt Neumann (Kronos, The Fly), Hiawatha was produced by Walter Mirisch, Allied Artists' head of production. Cofounding The Mirisch Company in 1957 – producers of Some Like It Hot , The Great Escape and dozens more – he continued to make films under his own name as well, including Man of the West, Hawaii and In the Heat of the Night, the 1967 Oscar® winner for Best Picture.

The Cimarron Kid
(1952)Wrongly blamed for a train robbery, Bill Doolin returns to his former gang, engaging in further heists and becoming a notorious outlaw.
The People Against O'Hara
(1951)James Curtayne (Spencer Tracy) was once a brilliant defense attorney, saving scores from prison-time and death row. But that was before a part of him crawled inside a bottle and never crawled out. He now practices civil law…it's safer that way. But when John O'Hara (James Arness), a kid from the neighborhood, gets hauled up on Murder One, he allows himself to get cajoled into returning to his former vocation. It's a mistake. The DA runs circles around the alcohol addled attorney, and O'Hara now faces execution. It's Jimmy's worst nightmare come true. The question is, what's he planning to do about it? A young John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven) teams up with seasoned cinema vet Tracy for this noir-tinged legal drama, and it proves a potent combo – a solid, by-the-numbers thriller rises above the machinations of plot to provide a compelling portrait of a very good, but very weak man in thrall to some very bad, very strong impulses.

Cattle Queen of Montana
