Albert Steptoe has always run a junk yard with his son Harold. Now he feels it's time to retire...but can he stay retired? Who will he give the business to? 'Steptoe and Son' began in 1962 on the BBC as a one-off single play for Comedy Playhouse in 1962.

It became a national institution of comedy and the BBC made seven seasons. In 1965 the creators Ray Galton and Alan Simpson were approached by Joseph E. Levine to take a pilot for the USA. It was never optioned and a 35mm print was given to Ray Galton as a souvenir. In 1971, 'Steptoe and Son' was eventually re-made for the US market as 'Sanford and Son'. The 35mm print of the original 1965 pilot lay undiscovered in Ray Galton's basement until found by Kaleidoscope during a film shoot.

"Les Girls" is the Rashomon of MGM musicals. The film is told in flashback, as Mitzi Gaynor and Taina Elg, two-thirds of a popular cabaret trio, attempt to legally block the third, Kay Kendall, from writing her memoirs.

Each of 'Les Girls' has her own interpretation of the group's previous professional and amorous escapades. To make sense of these wildly diverse recollections, the court must rely upon a fourth party to straighten things out. Enter Gene Kelly, the dancing star who organized 'Les Girls' in the first place. But can Kelly be believed? The 'truth' of the many reminiscences in Les Girls is secondary to the dazzling beauty of its female stars, and to the delightful musical numbers, the best of which is an extended Marlon Brando parody titled 'Why Am I So Gone About That Gal?' This was Gene Kelly's last musical effort for MGM, the studio he joined way back in 1943; the film was the inspiration for the short-lived 1963 TV series Harry's Girls, which starred Larry Blyden, Susan Silo, Dawn Nickerson and Diahn Williams.
