More stuff watched at home as part of the "Great Adaptations" collection:
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1955) -- An episode of the TV series Climax! that runs less than fifty minutes. Omits the runaway slave Jim entirely in an extremely loose adaptation which is mostly about Huck and Tom preventing two con artists (the King and the Duke [John Carradine] in the novel) from getting their hands on the treasure they found in Injun Joe's cave. Not the best version of the book.
Daniel Boone (1936) -- Mostly about Boone against a renegade white guy (John Carradine) who is leading the Indians against the settlers of Kentucky (who have a good reason to be upset, I'd think.) Besides some late 18th century costumes, pretty just a typical Western.
The Jackie Robinson Story (1950) -- The baseball great stars as himself just a few years after he broke the color line. An OK biopic; Robinson is a decent actor.
Lola (1970) -- Based on the screenwriter's own experience, this is a comedy/drama about a 38-year-old writer (Charles Bronson) who marries a 16-year-old schoolgirl (Susan George). Despite their tremendous love for each other, not everything works out well. Not a movie likely to be made these days. Besides the disturbing aspects of the premise, most notable for George's extremely short skirts.
The Missouri Traveler (1958) -- Set in the early 20th century, this is a "family" film about a teenage boy on his own who winds up getting involved with the folks in a small town, particularly the guy who worked his way up from poverty and is now the richest person in the place (Lee Marvin.) Marvin starts off mean, turns out to be a good guy in the end. It was OK, maybe a little too sweet and too much slapstick comedy thrown in.
Mr. Robinson Crusoe (1932) -- Not really an adaptation of the Defoe novel, this tells of a modern day guy (Douglas Fairbanks [Sr.]) who bets he can survive alone on a tropical island. He does so with absurd success, building all kinds of stuff from raw materials, and getting mixed up with a woman who escapes her own island to avoid getting married to a guy she doesn't like. Mostly played for comedy, and notable for lots of real Pacific Islanders playing the "natives."
Nancy Drew . . . Detective (1938) -- The title teenager gets mixed up in a murder case. Lots of comedy, and comes to a complete halt for a musical number in a Chinese restaurant. Not very good.
Saigon: Year of the Cat (1983) -- Made-for-TV movie about the romance between a banker and a CIA agent in Vietnam just before the end of the war. The historical stuff is more interesting than the romance.
Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1942) -- One of the many Basil Rathbone/Holmes movies, updated to have him fight the Nazis. Lionel Atwill stars as Moriarty. Very loosely based on the story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men." An average entry in the series.
The Time of Your Life (1948) -- Film version of the William Saroyan play. Deals with a bunch of eccentrics in a San Francisco bar. Best described as heartwarming. Seems to be more or less just a filmed version of the play, with very little time spent away from one set.
Two Women (1960) -- Classic neorealist film about a woman (Sophia Loren) and her young daughter escaping the bombing of Rome during World War Two. The climactic scene is still pretty shocking today.
When the Bough Breaks (1983) -- Made-for-TV thriller/mystery about a child psychologist investigating murders that lead to a ring of pedophiles. The plot is very hard to follow. Interesting for the fact that the police detective on the case is a gay man, and this is treated as nothing very notable.
