The Last of the Belles (1974):
Set in Alabama at the turn of the 20th Century, this is the semi-mythical tale of how F. Scott Fitzgerald (Richard Chamberlain) met his future wife, Zelda (Blythe Danner). Sadly the couple both run the full gamut of human insecurities when Fitzgerald's life takes a downswing, and Zelda's fragile mental state begins to dominate her personality. The performances, coupled with intelligent direction from George Schaefer, make this an extraordinarily moving portrait of a couple clinging to each other while staring into the abyss of human despair.
Cast: Susan Sarandon
Director: George Schaefer

Arch of Triumph (1985):
With a glittering cast which includes Anthony Hopkins (THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) and Donald Pleasance (HALLOWEEN), ARCH OF TRIUMPH is the tale of a Parisian romance unfolding on the cusp of World War II. Dr. Ravic (Hopkins) is a German citizen who has escaped the clutches of the Nazi's by fleeing to Paris. Not wanting to look conspicuous, the doctor disguises his true identity, and attempts to carry out his medical duties. However, one fateful night sees him come across Joan Madou (Lesley-Anne Down) as she attempts to kill herself by jumping from a bridge. Ravic prevents her from carrying out the act, and the couple soon begin a passionate romance. But both hide dark secrets from each other, leading to an explosive conclusion to this terse drama from director Waris Hussein.

A Hazard of Hearts (1987):
When compulsive gambler Sir Giles Staverley has lost his estate and all his money playing dice,
he only has one thing left of value: his daughter Serena. In a final game, he stakes his daughter's hand in marriage, convinced that this time he will not lose. Unfortunately, however, he does lose; to the evil Lord Wrotham. Unable to return home and tell his daughter that he has lost her in a game of dice, Sir Giles kills himself there and then. Lord Vulcan, who has witnessed the events, takes pity on Serena Staverley, although they have never met. He challenges Lord Wrotham to a game of dice in which the winner takes both Staverley Court and Miss Serena. Lord Vulcan wins and simply pleased that he has saved someone from the nasty Wrotham, he thinks no more about the event. One evening, however, Vulcan's friend Lord Peter Gillingham insists upon them going to Staverley Court to take a look at Vulcan's "prize." When arriving there, Vulcan finds Serena Staverley more beautiful than he ever imagined.
