Let's Go To The Movies

Welcome to another Saturday at the Movies.


Let's start with Hashimoto, the Japanese House Mouse in "Night Life In Tokyo," a 1961 Terrytoons cartoon originally released in CinemaScope by 20th Century Fox.  In this one, our hero and his American friend, G. I. Joe, get to sample the night life in the Japanese capital and get more than what they bargained for.  With story by West Coast veterans Al Bertino and Dick Kinney, story supervision by studio veteran Tommy Morrison, animation by Ed Donnelly, Juan Guidi, and Armand Guidi, design by John Zago, backgrounds by Bill Hilliker, music by Phil Scheib, and voice characterizations by John Myhers, this cartoon, produced in New Rochelle, New York with Bill Weiss as executive producer and Frank Schudde as production manager, was directed by longtime veteran Mannie Davis.





Next, we bring you a 1938 Education Pictures short subject comedy with Willie Howard starring (as Professor Pierre Ginsbairge) in "Pardon My Accident," which was originally released through 20th Century Fox.  This short was produced by Al Christie, written by Billy K. Wells, and photographed by George Webber.





Time for Chapter Five in our 1941 Universal Picture serial, Sea Raiders with the Dead End Kids and Little Tough Guys.





And now, our Feature Presentation!


It's time we stepped up in class.


From 1957, we present "12 Angry Men" which received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.  In this one, a jury is about to convict a young man on trial for murder when one juror has his doubts about the defendant's guilt.  The picture stars Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, E. G. Marshall, Jack Warden, Ed Begley, Martin Balsam, John Fiedler, Jack Klugman, George Vaoskovec, Robert Webber, Edward Binns, and Joseph Sweeney.


With screenplay by Reginald Rose (Academy Award nominee), based from his television play, photography by Boris Kaufman, and music by Kenyon Hopkins, this movie was produced by Henry Fonda and Reginald Rose and directed by Academy Award nominee Sidney Lumet.


Released through United Artitsts.
