Movie queen Margaret Elliot's popularity and fortune have gone bad. But she's sure she can jump-start her dimming career. "One good picture is all I need," she says. As Margaret, Bette Davis got yet another good picture and earned her ninth Academy Award* nomination. Davis' confident, perceptive performance lends absolute authenticity, as did a prop she provided. An Oscar* statuette – set noticeably on the car dashboard during Margaret's drunken spin through Beverly Hills – was one of two Davis owned. Sterling Hayden and Natalie Wood costar in this gripping story that has "many moments of truth" (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide). The Star shines.
The question on everyone's lips is finally answered as the hugely popular Sherlock returns in three brand new action-packed adventures.

Once again, the game is on for Sherlock and John (Martin Freeman, The Hobbit) in The Empty Hearse, The Sign of Three, and finally, His Last Vow.
