Riot Control (U S Army 1951 b&w 50 min)
This is a training film for soldiers to subjugate the population of a foreign country using force and chemical weapons. The trouble begins when an opposition leader riding his bicycle is run over and killed by an Army truck. The extravagant production utilizes thousands of actors on a film set the size of a city. Jaw-dropping action throughout the film.
July 7 Rock & Roll
The Girl Can't Help It (1956 Tashlin b&w 97 min)
Jayne Mansfield's first starring role, as the girlfriend of a racketeer who wants to transform her into a recording star. Great early rock-and-roll performances from the Platters, Little Richard, Eddie Cochran and Fats Domino. We will show a rare original television print in black & white, which looks much better than the restored color version now on video.
