Novelist Mario Puzo wrote the script with director Francis Ford Coppola, tracing the reign of the Corleone crime family led by patriarch Vito (Marlon Brando). His sons Michael, Sonny and Fredo (Al Pacino, James Caan, John Cazale) are of very different temperaments that become even more pronounced as a war between underworld gangs looms. Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire (Coppola's sister), Richard Conte, John Marley, Abe Vigoda, Richard Castellano, Sterling Hayden, Al Lettieri and Al Martino also are in the first- rate cast. ›››› (R: AS, P, V) "HALLELUJAH: LEONARD COHEN, A JOURNEY, A SONG" One of the most moving – and most performed – of contemporary songs provides the framework for this portrait of its influential composer, who saw it go from something that initially didn't grab many record executives' interest to a widely celebrated music staple. Versions by John Cale and Jeff Buckley increased the tune's impact and fame ... and here, Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Brandi Carlile, Eric Church and Rufus Wainwright are among others involved in the tracing of its history and Cohen's career overall. Rare material from the Cohen archives, visual as well as musical, is integrated throughout the narrative. ››› (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray, Digital and On Demand) "UNIVERSAL CLASSIC MONSTERS: ICONS OF HORROR COLLECTION, VOL. 2" Following an earlier 4K Ultra HD set that included such genre milestones as "Dracula" and "Frankenstein" (which, incidentally, now are becoming available as separate discs), this second edition in the series combines four more terror titles from the Universal Pictures vaults. Showcased this time: "The Bride of Frankenstein," with Boris Karloff and Colin Clive back in their roles from the original "Frankenstein"; "Creature From the Black Lagoon," featuring Julie Adams as the prime target of the title monster; "The Mummy," another Karloff-starring classic; and "Phantom of the Opera," casting Claude Rains as the disfigured musician who haunts the Paris Opera House. Various special features such as documentaries, audio commentaries and theatrical trailers are included. ››› (Not rated: AS, V) "ED SULLIVAN'S ROCK & ROLL CLASSICS COLLECTOR'S SET" Many musical segments from one of television's most classic variety series are compiled in this set. For many years, the CBS program was a Sunday-night showcase for acts that were just starting to make their marks, and included here are two of them that arguably did as much for "The Ed Sullivan Show" as it did for them in their early days ... Elvis Presley and The Beatles. Among others featured are Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, The Rolling Stones, The Supremes, The Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Janis Joplin, Marvin Gaye, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, The Byrds, The Mamas & the Papas, Gladys Knight & the Pips, The Ike and Tina Turner Revue, Sly and the Family Stone, The Animals, Herman's Hermits, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, The Band and Creedence Clearwater Revival. ››› (Not rated) "A MRS. MIRACLE CHRISTMAS" Doris Roberts was the first actress to play the Debbie Macomber-created title character in a couple of cable movies, and Caroline Rhea inherits it in this Hallmark Channel feature first shown last year. Actually named Gloria Merkel, the woman proves to have something of a magic touch as she advises a couple (Kaitlin Doubleday, Steve Lund) having difficulties over their desire for a child, and also bonds with the wife's recently widowed mother (Paula Shaw). "Days of Our Lives" veteran Roark Critchlow and Jill Teed also appear in the holiday-themed tale. ››› (Not rated: AS) "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" A genuinely classic drama marks its 60th anniversary by debuting in the 4K Ultra HD format. In director Robert Mulligan's version of the novel by Harper Lee – who adapted it for the screen – Gregory Peck earned an Oscar as Atticus Finch, a noble Southern attorney raising his children (Mary Badham, Phillip Alford) during the Depression while courting controversy by representing the defendant (Brock Peters) in a racially charged case of rape. Robert Duvall makes an impact as mysterious neighbor Boo Radley in a superb cast that also includes John Megna, Rosemary Murphy, Ruth White, William Windom and Alice Ghostley. The score by Elmer Bernstein is enormously affecting; the story has had added success in recent years as a stage play with a script by Aaron Sorkin. ›››› (Not rated: AS, V) Gregory Peck in "To Kill a Mockingbird" "Kerry (Washington) and Larry (Wilmore) and the producing team was so creative and collaborative in the process that it made it really fun. Like whether I got the job or not, I was just honored to be in an experience where there was a space for creative people to sincerely be creative." – McKinley Freeman of "Reasonable Doubt" on Hulu " ( L a t c c t m L t w b w s p b p – F " D "The truth is slippery. Journalists are investigators of the truth, and you see how that affects (central character Eileen Fitzgerald) over these first 13 episodes that got picked up." – Hilary Swank of "Alaska Daily" on ABC " s a t s ( E o 1 g H " A "I wanted to be in a place where I could get back and forth to my immediate family if I needed to.
