(ORIGINAL) "Bang Bang Baby" Set in 1980s Milan, this Italian crime drama series tells the story of Alice (Arianna Becheroni), a shy, awkward teen who becomes the youngest member of a criminal organization, not for money, ambition or the desire for power, but to gain the love of her father.

(ORIGINAL) 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • July 10 - 16, 2022 BEST STANLEY KRAMER MOVIES "The Defiant Ones" (1958) Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier make a truly dynamic duo in producer- director Kramer's iconic drama of chained-together convicts on the run. The picture made both stars contenders for that year's best actor Oscar, though neither ultimately won. "On the Beach" (1959) Survivors of a nuclear war find temporary respite aboard a U.S. submarine en route from Australia back home, though they know they're likely to encounter lethal fallout upon arrival. Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins star. "Inherit the Wind" (1960) Inspired by a true and legendary court case, Kramer's version of a play about a trial over Darwin's theory of evolution casts Spencer Tracy and Fredric March as the opposing attorneys. The familiar-face-packed cast also includes Gene Kelly, Dick York ("Bewitched"), Harry Morgan, Claude Akins and Norman Fell. "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961) Working with Kramer and a highly impressive cast again, Spencer Tracy plays a judge presiding over the trial of several individuals for alleged Nazi war crimes. Maximilian Schell won an Oscar, stars also include Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Montgomery Clift, Richard Widmark and William Shatner. "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963) Not really known for making flat-out comedies, Kramer attempted one on an epic scale with this tale of a hunt for buried cash that takes the seekers across California. The huge cast is led by Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney and Edie Adams. Turner Classic Movies shows the made-for-Cinerama film Saturday, July 16. "Ship of Fools" (1965) Kramer's version of Katherine Anne Porter's novel – about the passengers and crew aboard a vessel pre-World War II – has a sterling cast including Vivien Leigh (in her final film), Lee Marvin, Simone Signoret, Oskar Werner, George Segal, Jose Ferrer and Michael Dunn. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967) Working again with Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn earned one of her several best actress Oscars for Kramer's comedy-drama about an interracial romance – between the characters played by Sidney Poitier and Katharine Houghton, Hepburn's niece – and the related considerations, discussed at length in William Rose's Academy Award-honored script. "The Secret of Santa Vittoria" (1969) Anthony Quinn gives a terrific performance as an Italian town drunk who becomes an unlikely leader during World War II after a mistaken presumption causes others to believe he's a prominent official. "The Domino Principle" (1977) A murder- framed war veteran (Gene Hackman) is offered a release from prison if he'll handle an assassination for a mysterious organization. Earlier Kramer collaborators Richard Widmark and Mickey Rooney worked with him again here. "The Runner Stumbles" (1979) In Kramer's final film, Dick Van Dyke gives an atypical and notable performance as a priest suspected of playing a role in a nun's (Kathleen Quinlan) death. Two of Kramer's daughters also are in the cast. "Inherit the Wind" "The Defiant Ones" "On the Beach" BY JAY BOBBIN
